Results of V-ST treatments on the face
When can I see results?
Generally, you will notice results after a series of 4-8 sessions but this is dependent on the severity of skin laxity, degree of wrinkles, and amount of skin firmness and tightening that you are looking to restore.
Some clients may notice an immediate skin smoothening and firming effect after their first session as the V-ST shrinks the collagen and elastin fibres but it is temporary. After your treatment, the tissues will undergo remodelling process associated with fibroplasia and new collagen deposition in the following weeks and months. This means the results of your treatments will be seen after 3 months.
Please note that individual results may vary.

Results of V-ST treatments on the body
It is widely known that the body takes a lot longer than the face to heal, recover and repair. This also means that it will take more sessions for treatments on the body than the face to produce desired results.
However, you may be able to notice results with fewer number of sessions if you combine V-ST with other modalities of treatment. Here, V-ST is used together with V-FORM around this client’s abdomen which significantly improved skin tone and firmness after 6 sessions. It is best to talk to your clinician to discuss whether this is an option for you.

No. Most clients have stated that it’s a comfortable treatment. Bony areas may be a bit more sensitive, however, usually well-tolerated.
During the treatment, clients can feel hot and cold sensations. The cold sensation comes from the innovative cooling tip that protects the surface layer of skin while the heat appears when the device emits its radio frequency energy into the deeper layer of skin where it works to stimulate collagen remodelling.
There isn’t any downtime except for some mild swelling and pinkness of the skin. These should subside within a few hours, in rare cases, a few days.
You may return to most of your usual activities post-treatment.
For the face, you may need 4-8 sessions performed every 2 weeks. Estimates may vary for each patient.
Clients who are experiencing mild to moderate laxity in their skin may be suitable for this treatment. For example, if you notice a bit of skin sag or droop around the eye region, your therapist will best advise you whether you are a good candidate for V-ST Skin Tightening or not.
Ideally, the V-ST Skin Tightening is for those who are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity and would like to address these first signs of ageing. They understand it will take a series of sessions to improve the concerns and regularly return for maintenance sessions.
Yes! Unlike a lot of laser therapies and treatments available, Radio Frequency energy is “colour blind” meaning it does not get picked up by pigment in the skin and works on all skin tones.
Yes, we highly recommend that you follow a few instructions such as begin drinking enough water (at least 1 – 1.5 litres a day) for two weeks leading up to your treatment and continue throughout your course of sessions. This ensures your cells are adequately hydrated and increase your skin conductivity levels during your session.
Avoid any vitamin A or actives at least 3 days beforehand. No other skin treatments at least 2-4 weeks before your V-ST.
