PLASMALIFT SKIN TIGHTENING AND WRINKLE REDUCTION

HOW DOES IT WORK?
PlasmaLift uses a fibroblast handpiece that produces tiny micro-millimeter sized points. These points are created to generate a reduction of the appearance of excess skin.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING TREATMENT?
The session begins with consultation, pictures of treatment area(s), facial cleansing and numbing solution applied for 30 minutes. A licensed esthetician and certified plasma technician will perform the procedure, which lasts approximately 30 minutes per area. After care products, pictures and instructions round out the session. You will notice a slight tightening and lifting effect immediately after the treatment. Full results are visible within a few weeks.

HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?
Depending on the severity of the area, 2-3 sessions is needed for best results. The second treatment can be performed after 6 weeks.
