Non-Surgical Skin Tightening Procedures We Offer
Minimally Invasive Skin Tightening: Injectable Radiofrequency Or Thermirf™
ThermiRF is an energy-based device that delivers heat under the skin to cause immediate collagen contraction and triggers wound healing that tightens skin and subcutaneous tissue. It is a minimally invasive technique that allows physicians to cause natural contouring of the face, neck and body without surgery. ThermiRF device is currently being used for the treatment of cellulite to smooth out lumps after liposuction, reduce excessive underarm sweating, tighten loose vaginal skin, reduce double chins, and most commonly, for reduction of wrinkles and loose skin in the lower face and neck. The difference between ThermiRF and previous noninvasive radiofrequency tightening devices is that it deploys the actual energy directly to the fibers under the skin that need to be contracted, sparing the heat-sensitive surface of the skin.
Skin tightening occurs when the deep dermal skin reaches a temperature of 47°C or higher. Then, the body senses this as an injury and the healing response is triggered. An intense production of collagen helps generate new collagen resulting in firmer, tighter, more elastic skin. The deep skin and fat layer can tolerate over 50°C without incurring visible burns. The surface skin can only tolerate about 42°C.
ThermiRF has a tiny probe that is introduced underneath the skin through a needle hole. The tip of the probe has an electrode that emits tiny bursts of radio frequency energy. The probe has a temperature gauge that allows monitoring of the exact temperature that is being reached at the target. In addition, the ThermiRF system utilizes a state-of-the-art thermal camera to continuously monitor the temperature at the surface of the skin. This treatment allows the doctor to safely bring the temperature of the deep skin to the optimal level for skin tightening.
Non-Invasive Skin Tightening: Sciton Skin Tyte™
Skin Tyte is a non-invasive technique that utilizes infrared energy to deeply heat soft tissue while protecting the skin surface with sapphire contact cooling. Targeted subcutaneous heating causes soft tissue coagulation and collagen contraction. This process initiates the body's natural healing process, resulting in a firmer more youthful skin appearance. The full effect of skin firming treatments can be seen over several subsequent months. In order to increase safety, Medilaser, Cosmetic Surgery and Vein Center uses additional state of the art infrared technology to monitor target surfaces. This enables Skin Tyte to be manipulated to increase relevant heat to higher levels in the subcutaneous space. Since there is no downtime, patients may resume their regular activities immediately following treatment. Skin Tyte offers fast, safe and effective treatments of the face including jowls and around the eyes, neck, hands and abdomen tailored for all skin types without complications.
