The skin is entirely thoroughly cleansed and dried before the treatment. The settings are adjusted depending on the level of heat desired and depth of penetration. Topical medical grade numbing cream is available for comfort. The entire area is covered with a square-shaped head, and with slight pressure, the heat is delivered. The patient will experience a mild warming or “prickly” sensation during the treatment but is resolved immediately.

Post-Care is required following therapy.

  • No chemical peels, laser hair removal or skin resurfacing treatments on any areas that will be treated for a minimum of two weeks or until complete healing has occurred

Treatment time is approximately 30 min depending on the area that needs to be treated. You will feel pressure, a slight stinging, itching and a heat sensation. This is normal and will subside 1-2 hours after treatment. Immediately after your treatment you will look and feel as though you have a moderate to severe sunburn. Your skin may feel warm and tighter than usual. This is normal and will subside after 1 to 2 hours. Your technician will prescribe postprocedure skincare to soothe, calm and protect your skin

Makeup may be work on skin after 24 hours.

Do not pick or scratch at the treatment scabs. Let them fall off on their own, approximately 3-5 days. Picking at skin may cause skin damage or hyperpigmentation.

For First Week: Avoiding anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, Excedrin, Nuprin, or antihistamine medications is recommended. Discuss any current medications that you are taking with your doctor prior to stopping or pausing usage.

The face is a common area treated, but other areas of the body can also be addressed, such as the neck, chest, abdomen, back, legs, hands and arms, etc.

During the treatment process, small parts of radio frequency energy are made to pass through the skin layer. The radio frequency energy produces heat which repairs the damaged tissues and stimulates the skin layer to produce collagen naturally which in turn boosts the formation of new skin cells.
