Tighten Skin Without Surgery
Reaction radiofrequency (RF) treatment is excellent for skin tightening, cellulite reduction, and stretch mark removal. It can be used head to toe, for anything from saggy eyelids, lower face jowls, floppy arms, loose abdominal skin, cellulite on buttocks and thighs, and knee skin.
The treatment is simple and comfortable, and may resemble the sensation of a deep tissue massage.
Each treatment session lasts approximately 15-30 minutes, and a recommended treatment course consists of 4-8 sessions, depending on the skin type and physical characteristics.
Reactive treatments for cellulite are effective and results are visible from the first treatment. Following completion of the treatment course, your aesthetician will be able to tailor suitable maintenance sessions to target your unique needs.
The treatment is simple and comfortable and resembles a deep tissue massage combined with suctioning of the skin. Glycerin oil is applied on the treatment area allowing the applicator to easily travel along the skin in slow, concentrated rotations.
Reaction is a safe, effective and non-invasive treatment with no adverse effects involved.
Reaction combines two mechanisms of RF energy and vacuum therapy that work with the body's natural regeneration processes. Going deep under the skin, the RF energy targets enlarged fat pockets to reduce fat cell volume and increase the metabolism while the vacuum manipulation increases local blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
The skin tightening treatment works to strengthen existing collagen fibers that have weakened over time due to aging and various forms of stress. RF energy heats the dermis and stimulates collagen synthesis to strengthen existing collagen fibers for improvement in skin laxity, sagginess and texture. Immediate contraction of tissue fibers results in a smoother and tighter appearance of the skin.

Bi-polar RF energy heats the dermis and stimulates collagen synthesis to strengthen existing collagen fibers for improvement in skin laxity, sagginess and texture.

The skin tightening treatments are suitable for facial treatments including the jowls, cheeks, brows and the sensitive zones of the eyes and forehead, as well as the neck, dcollet and underarms.
Response to the Reaction treatment, and the number of treatment sessions required will vary among patients and will depend on the clinical and physiological condition at the start of the treatment regimen. A maintenance treatment is required once every six months.
