Body Skin Tightening 

Fibroblasts are the major cells in the dermis which produce collagen and elastin fibers. The thickness of the dermis varies from person to person and is affected by age, exposure to sun, cigarette smoke and environmental pollution among other factors. With time, cross links are formed between the collagen strands rendering the fiber less and less elastic.  This process leads to the first visible signs of aging on the face including uneven skin tone and texture, wrinkles and folds around the eyes and mouth, and stretch marks on various areas of the body.

The Reaction™ Skin Tightening procedure utilizes RF energy to assist in breaking the rigid collagen cross links, to strengthen skin's elasticity and enhance collagen secretion over time. The procedure is suitable for areas of the face including the jowls, cheeks and forehead as well the sensitive areas around the eyes, neck and décolleté. And now, Reaction™'s skin tightening procedures can also treat stretch marks and lax skin on various areas of the body such as the tummy, underarm, calves and hips.

The Skin Tightening applicator incorporates an integrated cooling mechanism during the treatment that creates a safe environment for protection of the epidermal layer while focusing the heat at underlying tissue.
