Skin Resurfacing Treatments

Results after just two treatments

Focused radiofrequency waves direct controlled heat all the way through to the dermis to gently ablate microscopic columns of skin. This actively stimulates the fibroblasts to increase the production of collagen to repair the damaged tissue and remodel existing collagen. The overall effect is skin rebuilding itself from the inside out, filling in acne scars, lines and wrinkles, skin tightening and improving irregularities like hyperpigmentation and discoloration.

The ideal candidate is anyone who shows signs of skin damage, including deep wrinkles, scars, acne scarring, visible pores, stretch marks, and/or anything else that affects the skin’s texture. All contraindications will be discussed thoroughly in your consultation. For safety reasons, you may not be able to get this treatment if you have/are:

• Active inflammation and/or infection in the treatment area
• Cancer
• Taking blood thinners
• An internal defibrillator/pacemaker
• Pregnant or are undergoing an IVF procedure
• Skin & heat-related autoimmune diseases

You will feel tiny pins on your skin followed by a little zap. It is not painful but can be slightly uncomfortable. Your face will then feel warm, like a sunburn. Your face will look red and slightly inflamed. The redness may last 3hrs or up to 3- 5 days depending on skin sensitivity.

You will see a difference after just one, so for a special occasion, a one off treatment is good. However, to get the best results a course of 3 – 6 treatments.

Treatments are carried out every 4 weeks.

Make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams, perfumes, powder, or makeup before your treatment session, and avoid tanning. Remove all jewellery around the area being treated. If you have excessive hair on the treatment area, shave it beforehand. It also helps to be prepared with information about your medical history.

After your final treatment, your results will continue to improve. However, one touch- up session may be needed approximately every 6 months, depending on how your skin responds.

Your skin will be red for 24 hours post-treatment (or up to 3- 5 days for more aggressive treatments), unlike lasers or other treatments where recovery or downtime lasts up to 10 days. You will not be allowed to apply or rub anything on your skin, including water or sweat (so no hot yoga or any other exercise that will make you perspire). After 24 hours, you may put on make-up and should apply sunscreen (at least SPF 30 and preferably one without chemicals.) Avoid rigorous exercise and hot baths or massages on the treatment area for the first 2 days after your session. Make sure to keep your skin clean and protected from the sun. Avoid any sort of tanning.

If your skin feels hot, you can use a fan to cool it down. Avoid touching or scratching the treatment area. Do not put lotion, make-up, or anything else on your skin, including water, for 24 hours. After 24 hours, you should apply sunscreen (at least SPF 30 and preferably one without chemicals.) Also avoid rigorous exercise and hot baths or massages on the treatment area for the first 2 days after your session. Make sure to keep your skin clean and protected from the sun. Avoid any sort of tanning.

No. You should wait till 24 hours after your treatment to apply any make-up or lotions.
