Minimally invasive procedures have become an extremely important component of a facial cosmetic surgery practice. This article describes a new radiofrequency device that tightens soft tissue without ablating the skin. The net result of this is a noninvasive brow lift, facelift, or neck lift. This modality does not replace current surgical procedures but is an excellent complement to them and a treatment option for patients to consider. The author's experience with this device is discussed.
