AB  - There  have  been  a  variety  of  noninvasive  devices  that  purport  to  lift  and  tighten  “loose”  necks,  jawlines,  and  eyes.  These  devices  work  by  delivering  monopolar,  bipolar,  or  infrared  energy  to  the  deep  dermis  and  subcutaneous  tissue,  resulting  in  tightening  and  lifting  of  skin  and  creation  of  new  collagen.  The  chief  obstacle  for  these  devices  has  been  inconsistent  clinical  results.  Some  patients  have  had  dramatic  results  in  comparison  to  traditional  invasive  surgery  and  others  have  seen  little  or  no  improvement.  Patients  who  understand  the  risks  before  the  procedure  are  happy  with  excellent  results  and  not  disappointed  by  lack  of  improvement.
