What to expect with my Skin Tightening Treatment?
Neue Skin Clinic is delighted to be the first clinic in Australia to have the Apollo Duet Electroporation and Radio Frequency device. The Apollo Duet was designed meticulously to facilitate a highly precise treatment for optimal results. It incorporates several safety mechanisms, is intuitive and easy to use, and provides a comfortable treatment experience.
Apollo Duet features an integrated temperature sensor in the RF hand-piece, which allows clinicians to monitor patients’ skin temperature in real-time, to adjust parameters accordingly and to provide a safe yet effective treatment.
Those using Apollo Duet can precisely adjust all treatment parameters, including the target temperature of bulk dermal heating or epidermal cooling, intensity of radio frequency (RF) and electrical currents, and polarity of the iontophoresis.
By carefully setting all these parameters, Apollo Duet users can tailor the skincare treatment to fit patients’ specific skin condition, personal tolerance level, and the defined therapeutic goals.
What is Electroporation
The Apollo Duet Electroporation & Iontophoresis handle heats the skin up to 45ºC, to soften and dilate the skin, significantly improving absorption – differing from RF, which tightens the tissue.
The electroporation & iontophoresis handle also cools the skin down to -20ºC, calming the skin to facilitate treatment of problematic skin conditions, including irritated, inflamed, and sensitive skin.
In combination with heating or cooling, the electroporation and iontophoresis handpiece guarantees extremely effective infusion of therapeutic hydrophilic electrolytes into deeper skin tissues for maximum therapeutic results – boosting hydration, reducing inflammation, calming irritated skin, brightening & smoothing skin texture, and much more.
What is Radio Frequency?
The Apollo Duet Multipolar RF handle emits pulses of radio frequency through 4 electrodes. When these currents flow into the skin, the electromagnetic energy is transformed into heat, reaching up to 42ºC. The heat evenly spreads within the dermal matrix, causing contraction of existing collagen fibres and stimulating production of new collagen and elastin, through neocollagenesis. After a 6 – 8 sessions a fortnight apart, these effects serve to give you a smoother, more youthful appearance wherever the treatment is delivered.
RF is a completely comfortable and relaxing experience. comfortable during the procedure.
The treatment handle delivers a series of radio waves that heats the underlying layers of skin up to 36 – 40ºC for a minimum of 5 mins per area.
RF Skin Tightening, requires no downtime and no recovery period, and is perfect for clients looking for tighter
more youthful skin without the risk of needles, incisions or surgery.
These two processes result in a firmer and tighter skin, with increased tissue hydration and reduction in visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.
