Default Refirm (Skin Tightening Procedure) - Does this work?

I came across an article about Refirm where it tightens the skin on a gastric bypass patient. Here's the article: http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?se...lth&id=4429846

Anthony Davis so happens to have a blog on Carnie's website: http://liteandhope.com/anthony/ but I don't see him mentioning Refirm - maybe he stop posting...

Has anyone done this procedure or recommend this as an alternative to PS?

Hmmm...I don't know....something about it seems fishy to me. But hey, I could be totally wrong. I bet it's expensive, having to get all of those treatments.

Oh you can count on that new proceedure and technology being expensive. Heck, regular PS is expensive just think what this would be.
