TriLift RECERTIFICATION & CONSUMABLES

Does the manufacturer Lumenis charge the new owner a ONE TIME equipment RECERTIFICATION FEE for the purchase of consumables? Yes, however, we do not recommend that you pay for recertification if the current owner is willing to represent it for the purchase of consumables.

Cost of Recertification: $30,000 (this recertification fee must be paid only if the current owner is not representing the system, or if you already own one of these devices.)

Are Consumables Required for the Lumenis TriLift? Yes, but only for the TriFX RF Microneedling Handpiece

Treatment Details

Session Duration: Approximately 20–30 minutes.

Recommended Protocol: A series of four treatments, scheduled one week apart, with maintenance every 3-5 months.

Targeted Results: Facial muscle lifting, skin tightening, collagen/elastin stimulation, and improved skin volume.

Safety: The device has a low risk of fat reduction, avoiding the “crepey” look associated with some deeper RF devices.

TriLift MANUFACTURER NOTES

The Lumenis triLift operates through a sequential protocol that addresses the three main layers affected by aging: muscle, dermis, and epidermis. Beyond the resurfacing “Void Mode” (RF microneedling), the platform utilizes two other primary modes to lift and contour.

1. Lift Mode (Dynamic Muscle Stimulation – DMSt)

This is the “workout” phase of the treatment. It uses patented DMSt technology to send electrical impulses directly to the facial muscles.

• Mechanism: It causes rapid, involuntary muscle contractions that tone and strengthen the underlying facial structure.
• Target Areas: It specifically focuses on the “glamour muscles”—the cheeks, jawline, and jowls—to provide an immediate, natural-looking lift.
• Experience: Most patients describe the sensation as a “tugging” or “twitching” feeling that is comfortable and requires no numbing. [1, 6, 9, 10, 11]

2. Smooth Mode (TriPollar® RF)

While Lift Mode handles the muscle structure, Smooth Mode focuses on the dermal layer using third-generation TriPollar Radiofrequency (RF).

• Mechanism: It delivers volumetric heating to the deep dermis, which causes existing collagen fibers to contract for immediate tightening.
• Long-term Benefits: The heat also triggers fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin over the following weeks, helping to thicken the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
• Safety: The device includes real-time, in-motion temperature monitoring to ensure the skin stays at an optimal, safe temperature during the procedure.

3. Void Mode (TriFx RF Microneedling)

In the context of the Lumenis triLift, “Void Mode” refers to the specific operational state used for triFX RF microneedling. [1, 2]

While the other applicators focus on lifting (muscle stimulation) or smoothing (surface RF), the Applicator VO (Void) is dedicated to skin resurfacing and texture improvement. [1, 2, 3]

• Ablation & Resurfacing: It is intended for dermatological procedures requiring the ablation and resurfacing of the skin.
• RF Microneedling: This mode utilizes ultra-thin electrodes (0.15 mm) that create micro-channels in the skin via RF ablation.
• Collagen & HA Production: By creating controlled micro-wounds, it triggers a healing process that regenerates collagen, elastin, and can triple the natural production of Hyaluronic Acid (HA).
• Texture Correction: It specifically targets the skin’s “texture” element, addressing fine lines, wrinkles, and superficial scarring. [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Why TriFx RF Microneedling is Unique

Unlike traditional microneedling, the triFX technology used in Void Mode is designed to be comfortable enough to perform without numbing cream and results in minimal downtime, typically appearing as mild redness for only a few hours.

Summary of the Sequential Protocol

A standard treatment session typically follows this order:

1. Lift & Tone: DMSt activates the muscles for structural lift.
2. Contour & Tighten: TriPollar RF heats the dermis to firm the skin.
3. Resurface (Void Mode): triFX RF Microneedling smooths the texture and boosts Hyaluronic Acid production.

Each session takes approximately 20–30 minutes, and since there is no downtime, you can return to your normal routine immediately. [15, 20]

Indicated Uses

• Muscle Conditioning: The system’s Dynamic Muscle Stimulation (DMSt) mode is intended for muscle conditioning to stimulate healthy muscles for a more toned, defined, and lifted look.
• Wrinkle Reduction: It is used for the non-invasive treatment of mild to moderate facial wrinkles and rhytides (fine lines) using TriPollar® RF energy.
• Skin Resurfacing: The system is indicated for dermatological procedures requiring ablation and resurfacing of the skin when using the triFX™ (VoluDerm) applicator.
• Body Contouring: Newer versions (triLift 2.0) are also indicated for body muscle conditioning and skin tightening in areas such as the neck, glutes, and abdomen.

Secondary Clinical Applications

• Dry Eye Management: Some providers use triLift’s RF technology as a dual-purpose treatment to unclog meibomian glands, helping to alleviate dry eye symptoms caused by Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.

Ideal Candidate Profiles

• Patients with mild to moderate facial laxity or sagging in the midface and jawline.
• Individuals experiencing a loss of facial volume or “sunken” cheeks.
• Those seeking a “non-surgical facelift” alternative to avoid incisions, injections, or downtime.
