Lipotron 3000 is one of several devices utilizing radiofrequency technology to heat the layer just beneath the skin and cause new collagen formation with its secondary skin tightening effect. As of this writing we have been using the product for almost 2 years with a very satisfied patient following. It is a non-surgical treatment taking approximately one hour and we suggest a minimum of 6 to 8 treatments. Under ideal conditions would do at least 12 treatments. The treatment is completely non-painful and it's performed by one of our highly trained technicians. A paddle is run over the surface of the skin and a sensor within the paddle reads the temperature just beneath the skin. We know that by heating this layer to a certain level it causes contraction of the collagen bands and the body's response is to also form new collagen. Results are often noticed after about 6 sessions, however they will continue to improve for the length of the treatments and will further improve for three months to a year. There is no downtime at all except for possibly a very slight redness to the skin lasting a few hours.
It is by no means a substitute for a facelift, however in the early stages of facial aging with skin laxity, it has proven to be extremely effective. We have been leaders in providing our patients with the latest technology. Lipotron 3000 works beautifully in conjunction with several of the skin resurfacing and skin tightening procedures done on our dermatology side, such as FRAXEL.
