Author and Disclosure Information
New noninvasive technologies recently have been introduced to produce skin tightening without surgical intervention and include a combination diode laser/bipolar radiofrequency technology (Polaris™ WR), a monopolar volumetric high-radiofrequency energy source (ThermaCool™), and a broad-spectrum infrared light source (Titan™). Clinical indications, treatment protocols, and potential adverse reactions of these 3 systems are outlined in this article.
