Many men and women ask me if there’s a way to improve loose or sagging skin without surgery. Thankfully we now have a very effective non-surgical approach to help treat the lower face, cellulite, tummies and other areas of the body.
The Tripollar Maximus is an advanced non-invasive body and facial shaping system now available. This new device combines TriLipo Radiofrequency and TriLipo Dynamic Muscle Activation to optimize localized fat reduction and skin tightening. The Maximus has been clinically proven to remove unwanted fat for body contouring, tighten skin, reduce cellulite and stretch marks and lift and tone underlying muscle. Patients see a benefit immediately after the first treatment and it continues to improve with further treatments. Most patients undergo a series of 6-8 weekly sessions, each lasting approximately 30 minutes, with quarterly maintenance.
The process itself is quite pleasant and feels like a warm massage. There is no down time, and patients can return to normal activity immediately after treatment. With the Maximus we are able to treat small delicate areas around the eyes and mouth; broader areas of the face, neck and hands; and the large applicator targets large body areas such as thighs, buttocks and abdomen.
How does it work?
The Maximus works on all three different layers of concern. It utilizes the Dynamic Muscle Activation to tighten the underlying muscle, while at the same time enhancing local fat breakdown in the middle layer.
The dermis is another crucial part of the skin because it is here that cells create collagen and elastin, two proteins that make up the structural component of the skin. As we age, collagen quality and quantity go down, which is why skin starts to sag and deteriorate. It is here that the TriLipo RF stimulates new collagen and elastin production, resulting in tighter skin immediately with continued improvement over the year.
Most patients try to replace collagen through topical creams, but this is ineffective because collagen cannot penetrate through the skin. When you combine the RF energy with Vitamin C serums and other skin care products, collagen production is enhanced even more. The RF energy heats the dermal skin layer,causing collagen fibers to contract. This contraction results in immediate skin tightening and improved skin texture.
When you combine the benefits of wrinkle treatment and hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm and Restylane with the Maximus, you can achieve a “non-surgical facelift”. This results in filling and lifting of deflated cheeks, elimination of active wrinkles and reduction of marionette lines and jowls.
While there is no non surgical cosmetic procedure that will result in actual weight loss, the Maximus will reduce body circumference and contribute to improved contours. This may provide men and women with a non surgical option to liposuction, depending on the extent of their condition.
On the body, the Maximus can target
1. “Mummy tummy”, tightening the loose skin that happens after pregnancy or significant weight loss. Previous treatments for mummy tummy included surgery to remove the excess skin and fat but resulted in a long noticeable scar. For those patients that don’t want a scar or surgical intervention, the Maximus provides a viable option.
2. Cellulite which affects up to 80% of women; commonly on the buttock and thighs. A cure would be considered the holy grail of cosmetic procedures. There is no ideal treatment to permanently eliminate cellulite but the Maximus provides us with one of the best treatment options available. By providing Dynamic Muscle Activation it mirrors the effect of endermology and the simultaneous action of the RF energy breaks down the fat that contributes to the dimpling seen in cellulite. The Maximus can provide a significant immediate improvement in cellulite. Since cellulite is a chronic condition, best results require ongoing treatment.
3. Thighs and buttocks. Many women would like to tighten their thighs for appearance or to fit better in clothing. Whatever your reason, the Maximus can help reduce body measurements, improve contours and lift treated areas.
