The vacuum-assisted and bipolar radio-frequency (RF) handpiece conforms to the skin to allow the energy to safely bypass the epidermis (top layers of the skin) and places the dermis (deeper skin layers) directly in line with the beam of energy. The RF energy is restricted only to the intended target, thus limiting any pain previously assiciated with skin tightening methods. Energy is deposited deep within the dermis, creating a uniform and contained zone of heating, which results in collagen contraction and renewal with little to no discomfort. In the months following treatment, the body's natural processes result in the generation of new collagen and dermal remodeling. As new, "younger" structured collagen is laid down, the skin looks tighter, firmer, and more youthful. This is the ultimate benefit to the Aluma Skin Treatment System |
