- I noticed in your newspaper ads you offer a non surgical face lift? What is that?
- Bella Derma introduces the Bio Ultimate Face Lift-a micro-current treatment exclusively offered at Bella Derma on the South Shore! It’s the latest in anti-aging skin care. The Bio Ultimate Face Lift is completely safe, and treatments are non-invasive.
- The Bio-Ultimate system aids in reducing the signs of aging by utilizing a technology known as micro-current; a low level of electricity that mirrors the body’s own natural electrical impulses. When used in conjunction with specialized products and manual manipulations, these tiny micro-current impulses stimulate your own body’s currents, which result in visible firming and smoothing of the skin by stimulating the facial and neck muscles which tightens and lifts the areas treated. Skin is re-hydrated, circulation improved and a revitalized appearance is achieved after the first treatment!
- What can I expect on my first visit?
- During your consultation, your professional aesthetician will develop a program based on your age, skin type, and realistic expectations. During each session, you will be pampered for approximately 30 minutes to one hour. Typical course of treatment will range from 12-15 sessions, with a follow up session every 4-6 weeks to maintain your youthful appearance or you can try the Ultimate Face Lift for a special event, such as a wedding, class reunion or special occasion. Only a very gentle “tingling” sensation is experienced by some people. The facials last an hour or so and most people see results after their first visit.
- How many visits are recommended?
- Suggested therapies include once to twice a week for 5-6 weeks and then follow up monthly.
- Will I see a benefit after one treatment?
- The micro-current has been proven by over 92% of the people that have tried it to reveal a toned and revitalized improvement in their skin. This breakthrough treatment was recently featured on Oprah and on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. A series is recommended for more permanent results. The benefits are: diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, smoother and firmer skin, improved circulation, hydrated and revitalized skin, improved elasticity and improved facial contour.
