The Polaris™ skin tightening system is FDA-approved technology used to treat wrinkles on the face, including crow’s feet and wrinkles around the mouth. What sets Polaris™ apart from other laser skin tightening technology is that it uses a combination of laser energy and radiofrequency (RF) energy. These two energies work together to provide more effective treatment and increased patient comfort. The Polaris™ system works as:
The laser energy treats the wrinkles at the skin’s surface and improves the skin’s tone.
The RF energy heats the deeper tissues, promoting new collagen formation, treating deeper wrinkles, and producing a skin-tightening effect.
The heat produced by the Polaris™ laser is specifically calculated to deliver the most beneficial heat possible deep into the patient’s dermis. Polaris™ produces enough heat to cause lax skin tissues to contract and to induce collagen production, yet not enough heat to harm or burn the skin. The best candidates for Polaris™ skin tightening have mild to moderate facial and/or neck wrinkles and thin or moderately thick skin. Most patients who undergo Polaris™ skin tightening will benefit most from four to five treatments a few weeks apart.
This revolutionary new technology offers a safe and effective solution for smoothing fine lines, deeper wrinkles and firming the skin. This laser is the first to use a unique combination of Radio Frequency and Diode laser to treat wrinkles. With the Polaris, we can isolate the treatment area and leave the surrounding skin free from potentially harmful side effects.
