Sciton Skintight technology, Titan , Thermage , Viora Reaction, Velashape, SmoothShape by Cynosure just to mention a few.

What is sagging skin?

Sagging skin is a consequence of loss in collagen's structural firmness, changes in facial muscles fibers, dermal thinning of the skin. Most important inducers of sagging that occurs with the aging process are : longstanding exposure to sun, smoking, alcohol intake, rapid loss of weight, poor nutrition( lack in vitamins and minerals).

What are the indications of skin firming and non invasive face and body countouring?

Indications include realistic expectations of up to 70% improvement of sagging especially in the facial area where the response is the most significant when a surgical correction is not appropriate or not desired. A
modest reduction of localized fat and  modest cellulite improvement of the body, compliance with multiple visits, reasonable BMI, nutrition and lifestyle.
Contraindications include if the patient is pregnant, has a pacemaker or is medically unwell.

What is endermology?
Endermology is a suction/massage device manufactured in France. The device uses a mechanical
suction and roller applicator used to pass over fatty areas of the body and cellulitic regions. In selected patients with edematous type fatty tissue, endermology can result in measurable circumferential reduction.
Endermology is often combined with increased exercise, caloric restriction, and increased water
intake. Although endermology is popular in the day spa environment, it has very mild, modest
clinical effects and is not popular in physicians offices. The indications are rather limited and more than 16 treatments are required.


What is Radiofrequency RF?

The RF energy devices currently dominate the worldwide noninvasive body-contouring market.The first serious noninvasive body contouring device that was widely incorporated in spas was the VelaSmooth (Syneron), followed 2 years later by the VelaShape. This was followed by other RF body-contouring devices, including Thermage (SoltaMedical, Hayward, CA, USA), Accent (Alma Lasers).


What is Velashape/Velasmooth?


Is a suction-coupled bipolar RF device where optical energies are delivered to the dermis/hypodermis
zones. Optical InfraRed energy targets mainly the dermal water, whereas the RF energy targets the fat layer by controlled thermal stress, causing dermal tightening and contraction.
The Vacuum and mechanical massage increase blood vessel and lymphatic circulation and lymphatic drainage, which further contribute to lipid turnover and fat cell redistribution throughout the body.
Introduced on the market in 2005 was followed by a decreased enthusiasm as treatment was very painful, followed by severe bruising and no significant results.

How is Reaction by Viora better?

Viora's Reaction its a 4 multi channel RF mode that can apply heat to all dermal layers simultaneously, to speed up the heating process.With the incorporated vacuum therapy it stimulates lymphatic drainage and shrinks fat cell s volume. It reduces cellulite and fat volume at the same time. The Refit concept addresses folds and lax skin following rapid weight loss.


How does Sciton Prolipo Plus work?

Utilizes dual wavelength capability (1064 nm and 1319 nm), providing the choice to use each wavelength individually or to combine the benefits of both for optimal body sculpting results. Is FDA cleared for laser-assisted lipolysis. It is often times used for treatment in patients that require sculpting in areas such as medial thighs, upper abdomen, belly button, under chin, and upper arms.
