The Shape, Form Contour combines three very effective treatments into one. 

1. Evoke/Define Chin and Check Radiofrequency applicators
2. SkinPen Microneedling
3. LED Light phototherapy

Define/Evoke is a hands-free facial treatment using cheek and chin applicator to deliver clinically proven bipolar radio frequency (RF) energy. It consistently delivers this energy to the cheeks and chin at a controlled temperature, targeting both the dermis and subdermal tissue. This treatment aims to transform facial structure effectively, offering results without the necessity of surgical intervention.

Radiofrequency (RF) treatments use radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin the RF energy penetrates the skin and heats the underlying layers. This controlled heating stimulates fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin. Increased collagen production helps to tighten and firm the skin. Collagen is a structural protein that provides strength and support to the skin, contributing to its elasticity. The heating effect of RF energy causes immediate collagen contraction, leading to skin tightening. This effect is particularly noticeable in areas with loose or sagging skin. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, RF treatments can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, making the skin look smoother and more youthful. RF treatments can also disrupt fat cells, leading to a reduction in localised fat deposits. This can be particularly useful in body contouring procedures.

Micro-needling, also known as collagen Induction therapy involves controlled micro-injuries in the skin. The sterile needles of the microneedling device create precise micro-channels in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural healing response, promoting cell turnover, collagen production, and overall skin rejuvenation. SkinPen Precision is a medical-grade micro-needling device equipped with fine, disposable, sterile Japanese steel needles. Notably, this is the sole FDA-approved micro-needling device in the skincare market.

Typically, a numbing cream or gel is applied to the skin before the procedure to minimise discomfort. The sensation during microneedling is often described as a mild pricking or scratching feeling. Some people may experience more discomfort in sensitive areas or if deeper needle penetration is used.

After the procedure, there may be some redness, swelling, and sensitivity, but these side effects are temporary. It’s essential to follow post-care instructions provided by your skin specialist  to minimise any potential discomfort or complications.

If you have concerns about pain please advise on your pre-treatment healthcare form and our qualified skincare professional can will assess your skin, explain the procedure in more detail, and address any specific questions or concerns you may have.

LED Phototherapy employs light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that release distinct wavelengths of light, usually falling within the blue, red, and near-infrared spectrum. Each of these wavelengths elicits distinct effects on the skin. The underlying principle of Phototherapy is based on the fundamental notion that living cells have evolved to absorb and react to light. When appropriately applied, light, with its inherent energy, can significantly impact our appearance, well-being, and performance.

Blue Light

Primary Purpose: Antibacterial

The 415nm blue wavelength stands as a well-established option for eliminating bacteria responsible for acne, promoting skin clarity with a gentle skincare approach. Its robust antibacterial properties also provide a calming effect, effectively reducing redness and inflammation.

Red Light

Primary Purpose: Rejuvenation

At 633nm, the red wavelength boosts cellular energy, expediting repair and renewal processes. It enhances collagen synthesis, increases hydration, and improves circulation, effectively reversing visible signs of aging. An excellent choice for revitalizing vitality and promoting radiance.

Near-Infrared Light

Primary Purpose: Wound Healing

At 830nm, the near-infrared wavelength targets deeper skin cells, initiating the wound healing process. It calms redness and irritation, reduces pigmentation, and fosters overall skin health. When combined with the Red 633nm wavelength, it provides advanced rejuvenation benefits.

Evoke enhances the facial, neck, and jawline features, promoting a firmer and more youthful look. SkinPen micro needling or Collagen Induction Therapy provides resurfacing and collagen stimulation, providing support to the underlying tissue and effectively smoothing out wrinkles, and the LED Phototherapy provides comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Everyone is individual but you can expect to see noticeable improvements in the skin texture and definition after 3 – 6 treatments. Regular maintenance sessions are also recommended to sustain the benefits.
