A critical indicator of age that affects all, if not most Women, is sagging skin. First it starts gradually, and some think they just need a different outfit, or perhaps a better makeup or moisturizer. Then it sneaks up on you: at an event out in the sun; an evening in a “little black dress”; a gala where your shawl falls off the arms; a quick glance in a mirror while walking through the mall; that impromptu picture where there wasn’t time to pose. What is this ubiquitous atrocity? Once dewy, perky, pretty skin has become saggy, draggy, dimply and dull. This non-prejudiced sign of age appears on the face, the neck, the arms, the abdomen, the bottom, and even on the thighs.
Is there an Effective, Pain-Free Solution?
Until now, the skin-tightening devices on the market have either fallen short of promised results or have been too painful to be endured, much less repeated. A revolutionary new skin firming procedure now effectively restores smoothness to your skin. Venus Concept™ has developed the The 48 HR RF Fix: a skin tightening treatment that performs as good as it feels. The procedure tightens skin that previously held firmer collagen fibers. With the 48 HR RF Fix™ heating this collagen up is a non-painful, even a pleasant experience!
How Does The 48 HR RF Fix Work?
The idea is fairly simple: heat the skin enough to cause some destruction of old collagen which in turn stimulates your body to create new collagen fibers to replace the destroyed ones. New collagen fibers are tightly wound and healthy compared to the old, stretched out fibers that hang loosely. The result is beautiful, firmer skin just like you had years ago.
Utilizing multi-polar radio frequency current, this device delivers heat in a soft, easy manner as deep as 2cm, allowing the targeted destruction without the previously common pain. The motion of the hand piece by the operator actually feels similar to a relaxing hot-stone massage.
What Kind of Results Can I Expect?
- Improves Cellulite
- Tightens Skin
- Reduces Body Volume
- Removes Excess Tissue & Fat
- Facial Perfection for 48 Hours
Will I See A Difference Immediately?
One treatment makes a considerable, temporary change, but lasting results require a series of treatments. After all, it does take your body some time to grow this new collagen. However, if you need to look great tonight, a face and neck treatment called the Palm Beach Party Lift™ will leave you looking and feeling renewed!
What is the Palm Beach Party Lift™?
Coined “The Facelift of the Future”, the Palm Beach Party Lift™ is a combination procedure to target the face and neck. One treatment makes a noticeable difference for 48 hours – perfect for an important occasion or weekend. Lasting results require a series of treatments.
Other Smoothing Procedures are Limited. What Areas Can The 48 HR RF Fix Treat?
Beautiful results can be obtained on the face, neck, décolleté, upper arms, abdomen, thighs and buttocks. We can even treat that bothersome area known as the “back bra fat pad” that tends to show in certain strappy or sleeveless dresses-no matter how perfect your posture. Previously, there was little that could be done for that area without scarring.
If I Have Several Areas that Concern Me, Can I Treat More Than One at a Time?
Because the areas targeted are individual, treating multiple areas does not affect your body’s ability to grow more, new collagen. Once patients experience one treatment, most will add on additional areas not only to look better, but because the treatment feels so relaxing.
Will the 48 HR RF Fix Also Help My Lines & Wrinkles?
The RF Fix is a good option to smooth out crepiness and dimpling brought on by stretched out skin. However, when used in conjunction with neuromodulators such as BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport®, the result is an allover reduction or even elimination of lines and wrinkles. Adding a filler such as Juvéderm® or Restylane® can also bring back the freshness and softness of yesterday. For a long-lasting effect, Sculptra®, a collagen stimulant, may be the answer for you.
