Non-Surgical Skin Tightening & Facial Toning in Stony Brook, NY
Lumenis Legend TriPollar radiofrequency, ThermiSmooth facial radiofrequency, and NeurotriS SX-3800 facial microcurrent — three distinct technologies to discuss based on your concerns and goals.
A firmer, more refreshed appearance starts with choosing the right treatment for your concerns. Elite Laser Center & Med Spa offers non-surgical options using Lumenis Legend TriPollar radiofrequency, ThermiSmooth facial radiofrequency, and NeurotriS SX-3800 facial microcurrent.
These technologies work differently. Radiofrequency uses controlled heat to address the appearance of skin laxity, while microcurrent focuses on facial toning. During your consultation, we assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend an approach suited to you.
Lumenis Legend — TriPollar Radiofrequency Skin Tightening
Non-Invasive Radiofrequency
TriPollar radiofrequency delivers controlled heating through a handpiece applied to the skin's surface. This warming process supports collagen remodeling and may improve the appearance of firmness and fine lines over time.
Elite uses the TriPollar surface RF treatment for non-invasive skin tightening. This treatment does not use needles or create the microchannels associated with RF microneedling.
Your provider will explain which treatment areas are appropriate and whether a series of visits would suit your goals. Results develop differently for each person, and maintenance may be recommended.
Note: If you are interested in fractional RF treatments that use microneedles to deliver energy deeper into the dermis, please Explore RF Microneedling — it is a separate treatment with different goals and technique.

ThermiSmooth facial radiofrequency system at Elite Laser Center & Med Spa
ThermiSmooth — Gentle Facial Radiofrequency
Facial RF Treatment
ThermiSmooth uses a temperature-controlled handpiece to gently heat targeted tissue beneath the skin. Your provider moves the handpiece in small circular motions across the treatment area. The manufacturer describes the sensation as similar to a warm massage.
This non-invasive option may suit clients seeking gradual improvement in the appearance of facial firmness without an invasive procedure. Your provider will review your concerns, medical history, and suitability before recommending treatment.
At Elite, ThermiSmooth is offered for the face only. Temporary redness, swelling, or discomfort can occur. Your treatment schedule and aftercare will be explained during your consultation.
NeurotriS SX-3800 — Facial Microcurrent Toning
Facial Microcurrent
NeurotriS SX-3800 uses low-level electrical current for facial toning. Unlike radiofrequency treatments, microcurrent does not rely on heating the skin.
The SX-3800 features four independently controlled channels and a monitoring system that adjusts the electrical signal in response to impedance. This allows the provider to tailor treatment delivery.
At Elite, NeurotriS is offered as a facial treatment for clients interested in supporting a more toned, refreshed appearance. Your provider will discuss whether a treatment series and ongoing maintenance are appropriate. Results vary, and microcurrent should not be presented as providing the same outcome as a surgical facelift.
