Wrinkle Reduction
What Are Wrinkle Reduction Treatments?
Are you worried about looking older than you really are? Unsurprisingly, the onset of fine lines and wrinkles is one of the most common signs of aging. But wrinkles aren’t only caused by aging skin. They can also come from prolonged sun exposure, diet, stress, hormone changes, smoking, and other lifestyle factors that prematurely age your appearance.
If you’re ready to start looking as young on the outside as you feel on the inside, you may be the perfect candidate for a non-surgical wrinkle treatment. With just a few quick sessions of wrinkle treatments, these radio frequency-based procedures can help undo the appearance of skin damage that can lead to fine lines, and restore firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

Most patients receive 6-8 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated.
How often/far apart should the treatments be?
Treatments are done once a week.
Do I need to do anything to prepare for the treatment?
Just make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams or makeup before your treatment. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated.
DURING THE TREATMENT
How long does a treatment session last?
Each session lasts 15-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
What does the treatment feel like?
The applicator will slowly get warmer till your skin reaches the needed temperature and stays within that temperature range. But if you do feel it’s too hot, just let the operator know and they can easily lower the temperature a bit.
Will it be painful?
Treatments are comfortable. Some say it feels like a relaxing hot stone massage. Some even fall asleep during the treatment.
AFTER THE TREATMENT
How will I feel after my treatment?
If anything, you’ll feel relaxed. The treatment is comfortable and has been compared to a relaxing hot stone massage. Some patients have even fallen asleep while they were getting treated.
