I have lost a lot of weight after Gastric Bypass surgery. The lower half of my face is saggy, especially under my chin. I don't want any invasive procedures and am considering having ReFirme treatments. I know it won't be as good as surgery, but can I expect some tightening of the skin?
I do like Refirme and use it often in my practice. It works for skin tightening on properly selected candidates who are willing to have the series of treatments done. However, anyone who has undergone massive weight loss (congratulations, by the way!) is NOT going to be a good candidate for Refirme. You would regret spending your money on that procedure. You need a surgical procedure to get a result.
I went to a medspa offering Triniti laser skin series by Syneron. It's 3 treatments in 1 session: FotoFacial Ir, Refirme and Matrix Ir (for wrinkles).
I was wondering if it is safe to combine these treatments and what is the downtime and possible side effects? Thanks in advance for your time.
We offer Triniti treatments here in Atlanta (we call it "Triple Dimension Treatments"). It's absolutely safe to have all 3 treatments at once. The FotoFacial will reduce sun damage and broken capillaries and will improve skin texture. The Refirme treatment will help tighten skin. The Matrix IR treatment uses laser energy and radiofrequency to really work on deeper lines and wrinkles. Results are technique-dependent, so be sure your provider does a lot of these treatments. Best wishes!
