Services
Electrolysis
Electrolysis is the only FDA-approved method for permanent hair removal. Using galvanic, thermolysis, or blend modalities, it targets hair follicles to destroy regenerative cells. Suitable for all skin and hair types, treatments address facial and body areas like eyebrows, chin, underarms, and bikini lines. Sessions range from 15-60 minutes, with results achieved through multiple visits.
IPL Hair Removal
IPL laser hair removal uses advanced Viora technology to target melanin in hair follicles, reducing growth in areas like the face, neck, underarms, and legs. Treatments last 30-60 minutes, with optimal results requiring multiple sessions. This non-invasive procedure offers long-term hair reduction while preserving skin integrity.
IPL PhotoFacials
IPL PhotoFacials address hyperpigmentation, sun spots, rosacea, and vascular lesions using customizable filters. The procedure targets chromophores to improve skin tone and texture, with sessions lasting 5-40 minutes. Results appear gradually over multiple treatments, offering a non-downtime solution for facial and body rejuvenation.
Skin Tightening
Skin tightening employs Vioras Multi-CORE radio frequency technology to enhance collagen production and skin elasticity. Treatments target areas like the face, neck, and stomach, lasting 15-60 minutes. Results develop progressively over 4-8 sessions, with immediate post-treatment resumption of daily activities.
Body Contouring
Body contouring uses bi-polar radio frequency to shrink fat cells and strengthen connective tissue. Targeting areas like the abdomen and underarms, sessions last 20-25 minutes. Improvements in body shape emerge over 3-8 treatments, with no downtime required post-procedure.
