Depending on the area to be treated there are different types of heads used for the different parts of the body. Skin retraction is immediate and lasts for the next six months giving rise to a true tissue lifting without risk of burning or tissue distortion .The gentle heating of the subdermal tissue promotes collagen restructuring due to the deep treatment effect.
