Radio frequency & Fat Cavitation
Radio Frequency is a revolutionary treatment that firms, tightens and lifts the skin, all without having to go under the knife.
Radio Frequency treatments sculpts and tightens the appearance of the skin by safely and comfortably heating the tissue and the fat cells under the skin’s surface. The applicator uses Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) as well as Radio Frequency to produce uniform heat under the skin’s surface. When the desired heat is achieved, this triggers the natural production of collagen and elastin. The result is effortlessly tighter, smoother, and more sculpted area.
