Cryolipolysis (Cryotherapy), commonly referred to as fat freezing, is a nonsurgical fat reduction procedure that uses cold temperature to reduce fat deposits in certain areas of the body. The procedure is designed to reduce localized fat deposits or bulges that do not respond to diet and exercise.

The technique is based on the finding that fat cells are more susceptible to damage from cold temperatures than other cells, such as skin cells. The cold temperature injures the fat cells. The injury triggers an inflammatory response by the body, which results in the death of the fat cells. Macrophages, a type of white blood cells and part of the body’s immune system, is “called to the injury location,” to rid the dead fat cells and debris from the body.

Electrical Muscle Stimulation therapy is a non-invasive, electromagnetic procedure that helps eliminate fat cells and tighten muscles in various areas such as abs and buttocks.

The electromagnetic pulses sent through your muscles feel like "an intensive workout"—the only difference being that you can relax while doing it.

The electromagnetic pulses will force your muscles to contract about 20,000 times in just 30 minutes, resulting in stronger muscle fibers. The rapid contractions also cause your muscles to release chemicals that tell fat cells in the area to break down and burn these fat cells.

IPL stands for intense pulsed light. It’s a type of light therapy used to treat wrinkles, spots, and unwanted hair.

IPL penetrates down to the second layer of your skin (dermis) without harming the top layer (epidermis), so it causes less damage to your skin.

Pigment cells in your skin absorb the light energy, which is converted into heat. The heat destroys the unwanted pigment to clear up freckles and other spots. Or, it destroys the hair follicle to prevent the hair from growing again.

Additionally, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy, aka photofacial, is a way to improve the color and texture of your skin without surgery. It can undo some of the visible damage caused by sun exposure -- called photoaging. You may notice it mostly on your face, neck, hands, or chest.

A painless way to take your face to the gym! Microcurrent treatment uses electricity to promote cell growth in skin. It tightens and smoothes the muscles and connective tissues in the face by increasing cellular activity, and has been shown to reduce wrinkles, mostly around the forehead area.

The procedure is noninvasive, injection-free, and painless. Best for last, these treatments have immediate benefits with little to no recovery time.

 MF-IP or Mid-Frequency Interval Pulsation is the next level of toning and lifting your skin. Think Face Lift, Butt Lift, Tummy Tuck but in the form of a TECHNOLOGY. This cutting-edge new-to-industry science combines three powerful technologies: electrical muscle stimulation, interval pulses, and radiofrequency. 

Radiofrequency (RF) therapy, also called radiofrequency skin tightening, is a nonsurgical method of tightening your skin.

The procedure involves using energy waves to heat the deep layer of your skin known as your dermis. RF waves heat the deep layer of your skin to between 122 and 167°F (50–75°C). This heat stimulates the production of collagen.

Collagen creates the framework of your skin and gives your skin its firmness. As you age, your cells produce less collagen, which leads to sagging skin and wrinkles. Skin laxity occurs around age 35 to 40 when the quantity and quality of your collagen begins to decline.

While the primary benefits of RF therapy are tightening your skin and getting rid of wrinkles,  RF therapy may also help fight sun damage due to its ability stimulate the production of collagen.

Super-Pulsed Electroporation (SUP) uses current to help infuse skincare products, and restore the skin’s elasticity.  A painless electrical pulse that helps serum penetrate deeper into the skin and maximize its effectiveness.

Therapeutic Warmth or heat therapy increases the blood flow in the skin, allowing oxygen and nutrients to move through blood vessels which is essential for the regrowth of damaged tissue and for the stimulation of fibroblasts. Heat is also known to increase the skin permeability, which results in better absorption of the skincare products to reach deeper into the layers of the skin.

Ultrasonic or ultrasound cavitation is the use of ultrasound technology to break down fat cells below the skin. It is a non-surgical method of reducing cellulite and localized fat. 

This procedure involves applying pressure on fat cells through ultrasonic vibrations. The pressure is high enough to make the fat cells break down into a liquid form. The body can then get rid of it as waste through your urine.

The broken-down fat cells go from the body to the liver where they are excreted as waste. This method of treatment is used along with other weight loss programs to help with getting rid of excessive fat. It is a preferred method to other invasive procedures of eliminating body fat.
