| How is this treatment performed? |
| The treatment is performed in the office without anesthesia. It is very minimally painful and may take from 15-60 minutes, depending upon the areas treated. There is no down time and patients may return to full activities immediately after treatment. Multiple treatments are required 2-4 weeks apart and the results become apparent after a few treatments. |
| What is the difference between Bipolar & Unipolar Radiofrequency treatments? |
| Bipolar radiofrequency gives superficial heating to the dermis which causes collagen remodeling leading to a reduction in wrinkles and tightening of the skin. Unipolar radiofrequency provides deep heating down to the fatty layer leading to body contouring and reshaping. |
| What is expected ? |
| Gradually the skin is remodeled leading to tightening and wrinkle reduction. Volume decrease also occurs gradually as fat is metabolized in the treated areas leading to body sculpting. Cellulite may also be treated with this therapy. |
