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.
