NuEra Tight -High temperature and skin burn. Is this normal? How can this be prevented?

Question

Every time I have a NuEra treatment, it gets painful due to the high temperature. The physician needs to stop as otherwise, I would get a severe skin burn. She says it is normal. Should NuEra procedures be painful and burn your skin? What is wrong and how can it be prevented?

Carrie L. Morris, MD, FACS · Answer

The NuEra machine has an automatic temperature control, so it heats up to the perfect temperature designed for that body area. Therefore, it does not burn the patient's skin. Once the electrode is heated to that specific temperature is should stay at that exact temp. The physician should be using a thick white lotion as a conductor and it can also be used as a barrier in case the probe does gets too hot. This treatment is not painful. it should never get to the point of burning the skin. This safety mechanism of the NuEra machine is actually a benefit over older radio-frequency skin tightening machines, which are not as safe or effective.
