Is it painful?

Technology has come a long way, the new HIT laser handpiece incorporates suction to elevate and stretch the skin which minimizes any sensation of heat. When the follicle is destroyed you will feel a slight pin prickling sensation.

Radio-Frequency FAQ

What does Radio-Frequency do for the skin?

Radio-Frequency treatments are administered to the patient that is looking for dermal remodeling and textural improvement. Our, "e-Two Matrix" by Syneron does just that- "Sublime", provides dermal warming while a cross polarization of RF is used to disturb the tissue within the dermis. This wakes up the collagen production process, creating a firmer dermal support at the surface. "Sublative", works primarily on the surface to improve texture and tone. Depending on your concern, either handpiece,or both, may be recommended.

Is there any downtime after a treatment?

If using the Sublime RF there is no downtime at all after treatment, this technology works deep in the dermis with no evidence on the surface after a treatment. Sublative RF does leave a grid like pattern on the skin and no make up is recommended to be applied the day of treatment, but may be used the next morning.

When can I expect results?

Typical treatme t protocol is three treatments, 4-6 weeks apart. The results can start to be seen in 3 months with ongoing improvement over the next 6-9 months.
