Body Shaping & Skin Tightening
We use combination of laser and RF treatments to help tighten the skin; commonly used on the face and neck but can also be used on the arms. These treatments are not meant to lose weight or fat but to tighten the skin. Several sessions will be required. This is suitable for those who are not contemplating expensive procedures like face lift or liposuction, which are the Gold standards, against which all other non invasive treatments are compared.
How quickly will I notice a change?
Nearly 75% of those treated see significant improvement. Gradual improvement of the treated area can be seen following the first treatment – with the skin surface of the treated area feeling smoother. As per many of our clients, the results are as good as or better than Thermage and with less pain and less cost.
How do I improve and maintain the Skin tightening treatments?
After you complete treatment series (3-6 at 3-4 weeks intervals), it is recommended to get maintenance treatments periodically. Like any non-surgical or surgical techniques, results will last longer if you follow a balanced diet, use UV sun-protection, use regular skin care and exercise regularly.
