Face and Neck Lift – 6D

• 6-step multi-dimensional approach using a combination of lasers and techniques to target different layers of skin
• 2 laser types: Er:YAG, Nd:YAG
• 4 different laser modes: SmoothLifting, FRAC3, PIANO, SupErficial
• Works from inside out, starting from oral cavity to deep dermis followed by superficial dermis and epidermis layers of the skin

‍

Step 1:
SmoothLifting: treats the inner lining of the cheeks and perioral area to stimulate collagen contraction and production of new collagen

Step 2:
FRAC3 (Face): targets the SMAS anchor points on the face to create overall lifting and tightening of the superficial dermis to minimize pores and fine lines

Step 3:
FRAC3 (Neck): tightens the skin around the neck to reduce neck lines and wrinkles

Step 4:
PIANO (Face): targets the deep dermis to promote collagen contraction and new collagen production to achieve skin tightening

Step 5:
PIANO (Neck): targets the skin around the neck to achieve skin tightening

Step 6:
SupErficial: gently exfoliates the surface of the skin to reveal a brighter and smoother complexion
