Promax Lipo

ProMax utilises safe and effective Radio Frequency technology. The radio frequency energy is applied to the skin causing gentle heating. This stimulates a process often referred to as ‘wound healing’. The heat is recognised by the brain which then signals cells in the deeper layers of your skin to produce collagen and elastin. Over time the collagen and elastin grows and your skin will start to tighten, looking fresher and smoother. ProMax is particularly effective on fine lines, lower face slackness and just over all skin tightening.

A thin layer of contact lotion is applied to the area and an applicator delivering Radio Frequency current is moved in a circular motion which causes heating in the skin. The desired skin temperature is reached quickly and then maintained for 3 to 4 minutes. Typically each treatment session lasts 45 to 60 minutes. The contact lotion is then removed and a serum and SPF are applied.

Treatment is not considered painful, most people actually comment on how pleasurable and relaxing the heating sensation is due to the multi-frequency technology of ProMax.

The treated area may be pink for a short time after treatment, but this will subside quickly within
1-2 hours for most. Immediately after treatment, contraction of the skin will often occur and the skin should appear fresher and a little tighter. The true results show around 6 months after a course once the collagen and elastin has grown.

Side effects are rare but can include redness of the area for 1-2 days and possible slight swelling. Most people have no problems and find they can go straight back to work and their normal day to day activities straight away.

ProMax is particularly effective on fine lines, lower face slackness and overall skin tightening. Some clients will have their main area of concern treated such as the eyes, around the mouth or jawline, whilst many have full face and neck treatments to maximise results.

Generally a course of 6 to 8 treatments are recommended at 2-3 weekly intervals. After a course of treatments results are expected to last 1 to 2 years however we do recommend maintenance sessions around once every 1-3 months.

Prior to treatment you must first undergo a consultation during which details about your medical history are obtained in order to confirm your suitability. Before proceeding with treatment you will also be asked to complete a consent form.

The treated area may be pink for a short time after treatment, but this will subside quickly. Normal activities can be resumed immediately. For Body treatments, as a result of some of the triglycerides being metabolised by passing into the urinary system it is also quite normal to experience an increased need to go to the toilet.

In fact, it is recommended for both face and body treatments that patients drink increased quantities of water for a short period of time after the treatments to encourage and enhance this particular removal process for the fat cells. Immediately after treatment, contraction of collagen fibres improves skin elasticity and the skin should appear firmer.

Generally a course of 6-8 sessions is recommended for facial skin tightening and series of 8-10 treatments for the reduction of cellulite or slimming.
