Skin Tightening

Serving Minneapolis, St. Paul & The Twin Cities Metro Area, MN

Kass Clinics is proud to be one of the first cosmetic clinics to introduce two of the latest breakthroughs in light-based skin therapy technologies: Infrared TITAN™ and radiofrequency ReFirme™.

TITAN™ and ReFirme™ Technology

The TITAN and ReFirme™ technology and skin tightening procedure minimizes skin looseness and stimulates long-term collagen rebuilding. The result is younger-looking and tighter skin. The TITAN and ReFirme procedure treats sagging and redundant skin throughout the body including the abdomen and thighs, and is also used to tone, lift, and tighten the skin on the face. TITAN and ReFirme is also used as a treatment for the loose skin often found on older necks and is very effective for the sagging skin found under upper arms.

Before undergoing a surgical facelift or tummy tuck, the TITAN and ReFirme non-surgical procedures are worth considering for several reasons:

  • Non-surgical, non-ablative
  • Tailored to your needs, very comfortable
  • FDA approved using safe, infrared light and radiofrequency energy
  • Provides continuous, epidermal cooling for safer treatment
  • Produces excellent results.

The Kass Clinics Difference

We feel it is vital to assess whether you are a good candidate for these treatments before you actually have them performed. You will not have a procedure recommended if it’s not be in your best interest.

Your consultation will include a Visia Complexion Analysis to assess the extent of underlying collagen damage, since the goal of these technologies is the stimulation of collagen and skin retraction. In some instances, correcting photodamage  may need to precede skin tightening for the most effective, long-term results. When needed, volume enhancement with fillers, such as Juvederm and Radiesse, will complement the skin tightening effects.  Overall, you will notice younger looking, tighter skin. Before undergoing a surgical facelift or tummy tuck, the TITAN or ReFirme non-surgical procedure is worth considering.
