This process enhances ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, promoting cellular energy and collagen synthesis.

The benefits of microcurrent include improved muscle tone and firmness, reduction of fine lines and wrinkles and increased circulation for a more radiant complexion. Additionally, microcurrent can aid in lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness and promoting a more sculpted facial contour. The treatment is often considered a non-surgical facelift, offering a natural and subtle rejuvenation without the need for invasive procedures or downtime.

Radiofrequency (RF) is a non-invasive aesthetic treatment that utilizes high-frequency electrical current to GENTLY heat the layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote tissue tightening. During a radiofrequency treatment, a professional device delivers controlled energy to targeted areas, triggering collagen remodeling and skin tightening effects.

The benefits of radiofrequency include the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines, improvement in skin elasticity, and a lifting effect that contributes to a more youthful appearance. RF treatments are known to address concerns such as sagging skin, cellulite, and overall skin rejuvenation with zero discomfort or downtime.
