Skin Tightening with vShape Ultra
TIGHTEN, SMOOTH, AND TONE YOUR SKIN WITH VSHAPE ULTRA
As we age, the collagen and elastin that keep our skin supple, plump and youthful gradually break down resulting in skin laxity and sagginess. Alma’s vShape™ Ultra technology is the leading-edge radiofrequency technology used in aesthetic medicine to firm the skin and remodel the silhouette, stimulating the growth of new collagen and tightening laxity while also imparting a youthful glow to the skin.
What is Radiofrequency Skin Tightening?
Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, which helps to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin fibers, resulting in firmer, tighter, and smoother skin.
During an RF skin tightening treatment, a handheld device is used to deliver the RF energy to the skin. The energy heats the targeted area of skin to a precise temperature, which triggers the body's natural healing response, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. This results in tighter, firmer, and smoother skin over time.
​
The RF energy used in the treatment is usually delivered in a series of short pulses to avoid excessive heating of the skin, which could cause discomfort or damage. The procedure typically takes less than an hour, and patients may feel a warm sensation or mild discomfort during the treatment, but it is usually well-tolerated.
​
RF skin tightening is often used to treat loose or sagging skin on the face, neck, or other areas of the body, and can be a suitable alternative to more invasive procedures such as facelifts or body contouring surgeries. The results of RF skin tightening are typically gradual, with most patients noticing improvement in the firmness and tightness of their skin over the course of several weeks or months.
