Atlanta Plastic Surgeon Dr. Stanley Okoro now Offers ThermiRF, a More Efficient Way to Tighten Skin

ATLANTA - Oct. 22, 2013 - PRLog -- Dr. Stanley Okoro of Atlanta, GA board certified by the American board of Plastic Surgery now offers ThermiRF (http://www.georgiaplastic.com/non-surgical-procedures-atlanta/thermirf-atlanta/) skin tightening treatments, a minimally invasive method of tightening sagging skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dr. Okoro is the first physician to offer ThermiRF in Georgia. Given his experience with ThermiRF, his office has become a training center for other plastic surgeons and dermatologist.

ThermiRF (http://www.georgiaplastic.com/non-surgical-procedures-atlanta/thermirf-atlanta/) is a new micro invasive technology that uses radiofrequency energy to target tissue below the skin instead of above the skin. Patients see results faster compared with similar technologies such as Thermage.

During treatment, a tiny probe in inserted under the skin through a needle hole. The probe has an electrode at the tip that emits tiny burst of radiofrequency energy. The probe also has a temperature gauge for monitoring the exact temperature at the treatment site under the skin. There is also a high tech surface camera which continuously monitors the outside skin temperature. By knowing the exact temperature of the skin both inside and outside, Dr. Okoro can safely deliver the exact energy level for the best outcome for the patient.

“This new technology is very exciting for those of us that embrace advancement in aesthetics. ThermiRF offers us another option to treat difficult areas in less time than other technologies,” says Dr. Okoro, a member of the ThermiAesthetics Clinical Advisory Council.

The ThermiRF device is FDA approved for nerve ablation for the treatment of frown lines. It has also been shown clinically, to treat other cosmetic concerns such as wrinkles, double chin, sagging skin on the face and neck, arms, back bra rolls, knees, excessive underarm sweating, post-liposuction lumps, and unwanted cellulite. Patients should talk to their plastic surgeons to determine if ThermiRF will be beneficial to them.

Dr. Stanley Okoro is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeon, , American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, International Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and American College of Surgeons. He is the medical director at Georgia Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery.
