Radio Frequency Treatment is raved about in the beauty industry, even by Jennifer Anniston, who never seems to age! Facialists combine cutting edge technology with a hands-on approach to achieve the best results. This treatment is probably most simply described as a contour refiner, but how does it work? In basic terms, collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, which declines with maturity. However, collagen is not something your body can absorb or supplement directly. Radio frequency effectively prompts the cells to produce it. As a bonus, it also increases oxygen levels in the skin which tackles dullness.
Our skin’s appearance is intrinsically linked to our mentality, so why not enjoy this treatment as part of a de-stress holiday?
