1. What makes fractional radio frequency so special?

Radio frequency improves the skin’s appearance using expertly used heat energy.

Radio frequency has been found to be exceptionally effective in the safe delivery of heat energy to the skin, which induces an immediate contraction of collagen. This in turn stimulates the natural wound healing process and the result is production of new skin cells and collagen as if by magic.

This helps to ensure both safe and satisfying results, with no downtime.

Of course, everyone’s comfort threshold is different, so to make sure you get the most effective pain-free procedure, your practitioner will discuss with you your options for making the experience as pleasant as possible.

Typically, patients will end a treatment happy, in no discomfort, and looking forward to future results and repeat treatments.
