RADIO FREQUENCY

This is a procedure commonly used for the treatment of skin laxity. Therefore, the goal is to induce thermal damage to thus stimulate neocollagenesis (wound repair) in deep layers. Clinical studies have shown this to be an incredibly safe procedure. The treatment induces a powerful, natural healing response that stimulates skin tightening, cell regeneration and collagen production. Targeting fine lines, wrinkles, loose skin, stretch marks and open pores, Fractional RF offers visible results.

IPL (INTENSE PULSE LIGHT)

IPL skin rejuvenation works by stimulating collagen growth. It also helps to reduce excessive capillaries in the skin and reduce inflammation. It does this by using wavelengths of light. The body’s natural processes then work on the results of the interaction between the light and the tissue to make it look better.

INJECTABLES

Anti-wrinkle injections are the non-surgical way to fill lines and smooth wrinkles with dramatic results. The injections boost volume and hydration to your face and lips, restoring a more youthful appearance. They can be used to shape lips and lift cheeks, fill and firm deep folds and lines.
