WHAT IS Mini FX?
MiniFX is a non-invasive treatment that delivers radio-frequency energy, improving blood circulation and dispersing heat to the deep tissue to small areas of the body. MiniFX is ideal for those patients who want to target smaller areas such as the face, neck, arms and knees. Negative pressure is used to attach skin to the RF electrodes to create uniform heating over the dermis and sub-dermal layers. You will generally begin to notice improvements in your skin’s appearance following two or three treatments
HOW DOES Mini FX WORK?
MiniFX uses radio-frequency technology to safely distribute heat to the skin and underlying fat, via deep tissue heating. This causes the fatty tissues to heat and contract. The vacuum and controlled energy pulses then work synergistically to provide beautiful body shaping results.

Pre-Treatment Preparations
1
Avoid skin irritation or intentional skin tanning.
2
Sun-screen is advisable when outdoors during daylight hours.
3
Discontinue any irritant topical agents for 2-3 days prior to treatment.

WHAT IS FORMA
FORMA is a non-invasive skin procedure that uses heat and radiofrequency to increase collagen production in your face, therefore lifting, tightening, and contouring your skin.
HOW DOES FORMA WORK?
FORMA uses radio-frequency technology to provide optimal skin contraction in the deep layers of your skin. It is delivered by a precise applicator head and targets the fat cells in your face and neck. FORMA uses radio-frequency to deliver controlled micro-injuries under the skin. These injuries have a two-fold effect: immediate skin tightening and long-term collagen building.
