Skin Tightening (Endymed 3DEEP)
Endymed is a non-invasive treatment used to reduce wrinkles, tighten skin, treat cellulite, and contour the body. Radiofrequency energy is used to stimulate the body’s natural collagen and improve the appearance of the skin.
What is EndyMed™?
EndyMed 3DEEP is a machine that aims to produce smoother, brighter, tighter skin. It does this using radiofrequency.
There are a variety of handpieces designed for different parts of the face and body. The radiofrequency is applied to your skin via the appropriate handpiece and generates heat to stimulate your skin cells and encourage new collagen to be produced. This in turn improves the underlying structures of your skin, causing it to tighten and smooth.
What is the procedure used for?
It’s designed to dramatically improve texture, tone, fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating your skin’s natural responses. The result is skin rejuvenation from the outside-in.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
As long as you are generally healthy and don’t have any skin diseases or infections in the area treated, there are few medical reasons why you should not have EndyMed.
The treatment is not suitable for:
- anyone with epilepsy, a pacemaker or metal implants within their body, (including dental implants)
- pregnant or breastfeeding women.
What happens during the procedure?
Your therapist will select the appropriate EndyMed handpiece and move it across your skin in a uniform pattern delivering short pulses of energy to stimulate the skin. The skin will warm up, feeling like a hot shower or bath – this may be slightly uncomfortable but not painful. A treatment area such as the face will normally take 30 to 45 minutes.
What are the side effects or risks?
Immediately after you’ve had the treatment you will experience some redness, which can last up to two days.
You may also develop micro-crusting, as the skin cells renew and the resurfacing takes place. This can last for five to seven days but is easy to cover with makeup.
What results can I typically expect?
A course of treatment normally consists of 6 sessions 1 to 2 weeks apart. Because EndyMed stimulates natural responses in your skin it can take a little time for the full effects of the treatment to show, but you can see improvements within a few weeks, with the best results from three months onwards after the treatment course. Smoother, brighter and tighter skin – the results will be natural looking, long-lasting and confidence boosting!
Before your treatment
If required, your skin will be numbed with topical anaesthetic to help you remain comfortable throughout your treatment.
Aftercare
A recovery cream may be applied after your treatment to help soothe and calm your skin.
