ContrAge™

ContrAge™ is one of the newest skin tightening and body shaping treatments to be marketed in the United States.  Developed in Spain, ContrAge™ utilizes radiofrequency that is delivered deep into the dermis of the skin.  As a result, soft tissue coagulation occurs, allowing the collagen beneath the surface of the skin to remodel itself and change shape, offering a smoother, tighter appearance on the face and body. 

The remodeled collagen fills in fine lines and wrinkles, and operates as an overall repairing agent for tired, sagging skin.  Not only does ContrAge™ effectively treat sagging skin, but it can also improve the skin's overall appearance and texture, and is also known to treat spider veins.

 The most common areas to be treated with ContrAge™ include the face, legs, thighs, abdomen, buttocks, and under the chin.  ContrAge™ is commonly referred to as a "non-surgical facelift" and is a viable option for those who would love to turn back the effects of time, but are uncomfortable with cosmetic surgery.
