Improve the Quality of Your Skin with TempSure® Envi
Radiofrequency energy has transformed modern life in myriad ways.
We use it for broadcasting and medical imaging (specifically, for magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]). Increasingly, we’re finding ways to apply it to help people look the way they want, too.
Here at El Paso Center for Family & Sports Medicine, Angel J. Garcia, MD, and our team can use radiofrequency energy to tighten your skin and improve its appearance. We do this through a specialized device called TempSure® Envi. This device allows us to deliver controlled radiofrequency energy to your skin to stimulate transformation.
How TempSure Envi works
TempSure Envi provides radiofrequency skin tightening.
When you apply radiofrequency energy to your skin, it therapeutically heats your skin cells. This encourages your skin’s natural regenerative abilities. After treatment, your body begins producing new collagen, elastin, and skin cells.
Collagen and elastin are proteins that play a role in your skin’s texture.
Collagen acts as a scaffolding. Your body makes less of it as you age, which contributes to wrinkles.
As its name suggests, elastin contributes to your skin’s elasticity.
By increasing the production of these two proteins, TempSure Envi helps counteract skin laxity that develops over time.
At the same time, radiofrequency energy promotes the formation of new, healthy skin cells. That means it can help to minimize age spots and improve your overall skin tone.
We can use TempSure Envi to firm and beautify your skin virtually anywhere on your body. This treatment is safe and effective for your:
- Abdomen
- Chest
- Elbows
- Face
- Knees

What to expect with TempSure Envi treatment
To help radiofrequency energy penetrate your skin, Dr. Garcia first applies a gel to the treatment area. Then he uses the TempSure Envi handpiece to apply radiofrequency energy to the area using circular motions. You’ll feel a warming sensation, but your treatment should be comfortable.
In fact, we chose TempSure Envi as our radiofrequency platform because it includes sophisticated Therapeutic Logic Control (TLC). It continually monitors your skin temperature to ensure you receive enough heat to drive transformation without overheating.
Most TempSure Envi treatments take an hour or less. After treatment, you don’t need to worry about any downtime.
Your body then begins producing new collagen, elastin, and skin cells. Many people start to see results within about a week. It takes roughly a month for you to get the full effect.
If you’re looking to improve your skin quality, ask Dr. Garcia whether TempSure Envi is right for you. Contact our office or schedule a consultation online today.
