  ReFirme™ Skin Tightening

Lift years off your patients' faces without surgery…while lifting your revenues with the popular ReFirme™ ST Applicator

ReFirme™ Skin Tightening is one of the top five most popular non-invasive procedures.

Powered by the revolutionary elōs Technology, Syneron ReFirme Skin Tightening systems are setting new standards of speed, safety, and efficacy, in the removal of even minimally-pigmented hair colors, and all skin tones, including tanned skin.

ReFirme is ideal for targeting those telltale signs of aging, including, jowl and neck laxity, sagging under eyes, saggy brow lines, and nasolabial folds.

 

The FDA-approved ReFirme ST Applicator offers virtually painless and fast treatment for skin tightening. Conventional skin tightening treatments are time-and treatment-intensive and often too painful for many patients. With the ReFirme ST, our patients can have tight, firm skin without surgery.

 

“We use the DS exclusively for hair removal at Overlake Family Medicine, located on premises at our office.  We find that the DS treatment is the most effective hair removal device we have tried, and can benefit patients that have not responded well to other systems.  When combined with the SynerCool, it provides an effective, comfortable method of hair removal that has been a credit to our practice.”

Skin Rejuvenation - Rejuvenate Patients' Skin.

Clear beautiful skin is in demand, and effectively treating superficial and benign vascular and pigmented lesions — including Telangiectasias, Rosacea, Poikiloderma and Angioma — has never been easier. Powered by elōs -Technology, Syneron skin rejuvenation systems deliver industry-leading results that our patients will love.

 “I like the elōs system, because they employ a truly revolutionary new approach by incorporating RF with lasers and light systems.  I am thrilled to be able to offer my patients a total skin rejuvenation treatment, addressing all aspects of their skin flaws, and all this without pain or downtime!! I also like the always helpful support effort of the Syneron team with any questions or other issues.  In addition, Syneron has a variety of applications, all relevant to the latest trends of the cosmetic market, with no consumables and long warranties.  All in all, it lets me fulfill the needs of my patients in a highly satisfying and comprehensive manner.”How Skin Rejuvenation Works.

How Skin Rejuvenation Works

Powered by the revolutionary elōs Technology, the combination of energies offers a complete solution to the challenges of skin treatment with reduced overall required energy output — enabling safe, effective treatment. Highly selective light energies are absorbed by the hemoglobin and pigmented lesions, but not significantly absorbed by the normal dermis. Electrical energies selectively heat blood vessels — while minimizing the effect on pigmented structure.
