FIRM
Radio frequency and ultrasound technologies are used to tighten tissue. This method tightens the skin helping to reduce unwanted sagging.
Immediately after treatment (first few hours):
Your skin may feel warm and appear slightly red or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn.
Some mild swelling or a tingling sensation might be noticeable.
These effects usually subside within a few hours.
Days 1–3:
Redness and mild swelling typically continue to diminish.
Your skin may feel a bit tight or dry as the treatment stimulates collagen production.
Some clients notice a slight firmness or a subtle “lifting” sensation.
Days 4–7:
Any residual redness or swelling should resolve completely.
Your skin may feel smoother and appear more radiant.
Initial tightening results might be visible, but the full effect develops gradually.
Weeks 2–6:
Collagen remodeling continues beneath the skin’s surface, leading to firmer, tighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
You may notice improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and enhanced elasticity over this period.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
AFTERCARE:
Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1–2 weeks after treatment.
Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days or indoors.
Apply a soothing, hydrating moisturizer to prevent dryness or tightness.
For the first 24 - 48 hrs refrain from hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise to minimize redness and swelling.
Do not rub, scratch, or massage the treated areas.
Avoid using makeup for at least 24 hours or until redness subsides.
Drink plenty of water to support skin healing.
