 
Eyelid Rejuvenation  ReFirme™ ReFirme is one of the newest non-invasive skin tightening procedures FDA approved for the reduction of wrinkles. Using the revolutionary elos technology [hyperlink to FAQ page here], ReFirme heats the tissue in the skin to restart the growth of collagen, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and smoothing fine lines. Effective for wrinkles around the eyes, brows, mouth, neck and jowls, ReFirme requires no down time with minimal discomfort, and the results are fast, safe and immediately noticeable. Background on ReFirme™ Skin Tightening Treatment Using the ReFirme laser, Dr. Stout targets and heats a specific area to restart the production of collagen under the skin. After heating the surface of the skin, a tightening occurs and a noticeable lifting is observed, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. ReFirme also affects the texture of your skin, causing it to be smoother, more luminous and toned. ReFirme uses less energy than traditional laser, making it both safe and effective for multiple treatments. A great alternative to cosmetic surgery, ReFirme offers the same benefits— a refreshed, younger look—without the cost, time, commitment or discomfort! As he does before any cosmetic treatment, Dr. Stout will carefully observe your specific patterning and wrinkling to determine where ReFirme should be used and how many treatments to recommend. With his specialized training, Dr. Stout is experienced in tailoring treatments like ReFirme to your specific physical needs to effectively restore your appearance to its more youthful state.
Where can ReFirme are used? Dr. Stout performs ReFirme treatments on crow’s feet, brow lines, “smile” lines, jowls, neck, and other problematic areas on the face and neck. The treatment itself may also be used on the abdomen, upper arms, and knees, but as an oculoplastic surgeon, Dr. Stout specializes in treating the face and eye region.
ReFirme utilizes the revolutionary elos technology to create a younger, more toned skin. Using the ReFirme treatment plan, patients will see cumulative results that include but are not limited to: wrinkle reduction, increased skin laxity and an overall improvement in the texture and tightness of the skin. The precision heating technology limits the recovery time for a relatively painless and safe procedure. Elos technology is the first and only technology that simultaneously harnesses the power of bi-polar radio frequency (RF) and optical energy. In plainer terms, this means that elos is a highly controllable energy resource that works with the optical energy of more conventional lasers. The benefit of elos technology is that it protects the skin by targeting a very specific region and then cools it directly, resulting in a safer and more comfortable procedure.
Dr. Stout advises that patients schedule between 3 and 5 treatments, depending on the severity and visibility of their wrinkles. The treatments should be scheduled 3 and 4 weeks apart, and patients should come in for a follow-up maintenance procedure about every 6 months.
Most patients who see Dr. Stout tolerate the treatment quite comfortably, but for those who may be more sensitive, topical anesthetic and cold compresses are available. While the results vary from person to person, ReFirme provides a non-invasive solution for anyone experiencing skin laxity, wrinkled skin, sagging skin, or textural regularities. If you are concerned about your candidacy, please call Dr. Stout’s office to schedule a free consultation to discuss a ReFirme treatment plan.
