The market is flooded with products and treatments claiming to have skin tightening benefits. None, however, live up to these claims. On the one hand, topical solutions, creams and lotions do not penetrate the skin, and can render only temporary and superficial effects. Surgical procedures, on the other hand, are invasive, accompanied by risks and relatively long recovery periods.

Where can dual mode Radiofrequency treatment be applied? Dual mode Radiofrequency can be used to treat loose sagging skin anywhere on the body. The procedure is frequently used to treat the thin, loose and 'creepy' skin often found on the neck and under the upper arms. It is also excellent for firming skin on the face, abdomen, thighs, chest and breasts.
Treatment - what to expect During the procedure, your doctor will use Dual mode Radiofrequency to precisely heat the skin's inner layer (dermis), while its outer layer (epidermis) is continually cooled. Depending on the size of the treated area, treatment may take up to 45 minutes.
Following treatment, you can immediately resume all routine activities. You may notice slight redness, which should disappear in less than 24 hours. Generally, no more than six to eight treatments at two-week intervals are required.
When should I see results? This heating action causes the deep structures of your skin to tighten right away. With time, new collagen grows to further tighten your skin, yielding even more beautiful, natural looking and firmer skin. While a few treatments can produce good results, your doctor may recommend follow-up procedures to best maintain and improve your body's youthful contours.
It Does it hurt? While pain tolerance is individual, most people tolerate Dual mode Radiofrequency treatment well, and have little or no discomfort. Patients often describe the sensation as a 'warm massage'. The procedure is not accompanied by any significant side effects.
A youthful body - at any age We all age, yet none of us wish to see the signs of aging. Even if we eat right and exercise, the skin on our bodies grows looser and laxer, losing the firm, toned look of youth.
Dual mode Radiofrequency therapy can bring back that fresh appearance. Non-invasively dual mode Radiofrequency tightens loose skin, promotes healthy collagen production, and improves your body's contours.
Is Dual mode Radiofrequency safe? Incorporating advanced safety precautions that cool your skin to prevent discomfort or burning, Radiofrequency treatment is virtually risk free.
How does Dual mode Radiofrequency work? During treatment, your doctor will precisely heat an area of the inner layer of your skin using dual mode Radiofrequency technology, while simultaneously cooling the outer layer of skin. As the inner is heated, a natural reaction occurs, promoting the creation of new collagen. The result: a return to the smooth and elastic skin of youth.
