Alyona:

I want to leave a review about this procedure. From the advantages I can single out the fact that it is safe, quickly carried out and the result is kept for a long time, which I am very pleased with. But there are also disadvantages. This is a high cost, the duration of the course.

Vera:

But I did not like the procedure, there was no result at all, and my friend even had a noticeably worse skin condition. Such money paid and all to no avail. Do not believe those who express frank delight, apparently, they just went rf-lifting, but we do not.

Clients who underwent the procedure on different devices, argued that it all depends on the device and the hands of the master.

Doctors cosmetologists, commenting on this situation, suggest that such inconsistency is caused by the quality of the skin and the more dense and hydrated it is, the faster and better the result is visible.

Considering all the above, when choosing a method of RF facelift, it is enough to seriously approach the choice of a beauty salon, ask about the device and strictly follow all the recommendations of a specialist.
