The Polaris PhotoFirm is a safe, and comfortable way to reduce wrinkles on your face and neck, and get rid of problematic leg veins and vascular lesions. Utilizing proven technology combined with, electrical energy, and cooling, Polaris PhotoFirm precisely targets wrinkles or blood vessels, gently smoothening out the skin and clearing vascular lesions without damaging surrounding tissue. Regardless of skin type, you can achieve the long-lasting results you truly want: smoother, clearer skin.

How does the Polaris PhotoFirm procedure work?

Polaris PhotoFirm uses a new technology known as “ELOS” (Electro-optical Synergy). With ELOS technology, radiofrequency energy is combined with light energy in the form of a diode laser, to stimulate collagen production, and reduce or eliminate wrinkles. These two different types of energies work together to produce a synergistic effect, leading to a more effective treatment. The light energy treats the fine wrinkles in the skin surface, improves skin tone, and promotes pore size reduction. The radiofrequency energy treats the deeper wrinkles, and produces a skin tightening effect. Thus, the treatment will affect multiple levels of the skin – producing better results.

There is no significant downtime with Polaris. Make-up can be applied immediately after the procedure, and normal activities can be resumed as well. Most patients will require four or five treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart.

What areas can be treated?

Most areas on the face and neck can be treated, as well as the area around the eyes.

What happens after treatment?

Right after the treatment you will have some redness in the areas treated. This may last for the remainder of the day. It is also common to have some swelling anywhere from 24 hours to several days.

What results can I expect?

Because of the “ELOS” technology, Polaris PhotoFirm treatments can improve the appearance of the skin in several different ways. Polaris treatments result in a reduction in the fine wrinkles on the skin surface, and improved skin tone. The increase in collagen production improves the deeper wrinkles and produces a skin tightening effect. In addition, pore-size reduction is promoted. For these reasons, patients have been quite pleased with the results.
