RF BODY CONTOURING

 

Highly effective treatment to target cellulite, reduce stretch marks and improve firmness with zero downtime. Radio Frequency current targets subcutaneous fat cells causing them to shrink in size. Heat causes collagen fibers to contract which results in immediate skin tightening.

Suitable for Fitzpatrick skin types: I, II, III, IV, V, VI.

How does it work? 
Radio frequency is a non-invasive current that targets subcutaneous fat cells causing them to shrink in size.

Heat causes collagen fibers to contract which results in skin tightening.

What does it feel like? 
The treatment feels like a warm massage. Effects can be felt immediately, often noticeable results are achievable with only a few sessions. Temporary redness may be present post session for several hours 

How do I get the best long-term results? 
Multiple sessions are recommended for long term results. 8-12 sessions spaced weekly followed by periodic maintenance.  Full effect will only be seen after several months. 

How do I prepare for my body contouring session?
Recommendations include drinking plenty of water, also try to wear comfortable clothing that allows for a towel to be tucked in easily as the glycerin used during the treatment is not delicate fabric friendly. 

This treatment is best accompanied by regular exercise and a balanced lifestyle.
