How it works
Two technologies. One treatment.
RF and Microcurrent address aging from two different angles — and that's exactly why they work so well together.
Radio Frequency (RF)
Works on skin & collagen
RF waves heat the deep layers of skin to 102–107°F. At this temperature, collagen fibers contract and tighten immediately — you can feel the skin firming during the treatment. At the same time, this controlled heat triggers the body to produce new collagen over the following weeks. The device intensity is adjusted individually for your skin type and thickness.
Microcurrent
Works on muscles
Microcurrent delivers low-level electrical impulses that mirror the body's own bioelectric signals. The facial muscles interpret these as natural and respond — toning muscles that have lost definition while releasing the tension in overworked muscles that creates expression lines. It reduces puffiness by stimulating lymphatic drainage and improves circulation throughout the face.
The treatment
What happens during your session
01
Double cleanse
We start with a thorough double cleanse to remove all makeup, sunscreen, and surface buildup. Clean skin conducts the RF and Microcurrent currents evenly and safely.
02
Enzyme mask
A professional enzyme mask exfoliates dead skin cells gently — no acids, no irritation. This step prepares the skin to respond better to the devices and improves product absorption for the rest of the treatment.
03
Light extractions
Where needed, light manual extractions clear congestion. This is done gently and only where appropriate for your skin that day.
04
RF — radio frequency
The RF device moves across the face in precise passes, heating the skin to the target temperature. You'll feel warmth — comfortable, not painful. The collagen tightening effect is immediate and continues to build over the following days as new collagen forms.
05
Microcurrent
Microcurrent is applied using conducting probes that glide along specific muscle pathways. Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle tingling. You'll notice the lifting effect in real time — the jawline, cheekbones and eye area respond visibly.
06
Mask + LED light therapy
A customized mask is applied for your skin type, followed by red LED light therapy. Red light (long wavelength) penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates collagen production at the cellular level — enhancing everything the RF already started. It doesn't produce heat and requires no recovery time.
07
Serum, moisturizer & SPF
We finish with targeted serum, moisturizer and SPF. Your skin is warm and receptive at this point — the active ingredients absorb beautifully.
Results
What to expect
After the first session: the face looks refreshed immediately. Puffiness goes down, the eyes look more open, and the skin feels smooth and taut. This is a great treatment before an important event.
After a full course: cumulative and lasting results. The oval of the face lifts, jowls and a double chin become less visible, fine lines soften. Results last up to 6 months. We recommend repeating the course after that.
For the course: 10 sessions with one week between each.
Before & After — lifted contour, firmer skin
Before & After — improved tone, reduced puffiness
Before & After — softened fine lines, defined jawline
Before & After — firmer, more youthful skin

☀️ Why this is the ideal summer treatment in Charleston
Charleston summers bring heat, humidity and inevitable puffiness from fluid retention. RF and Microcurrent stimulate lymphatic drainage and reduce that stagnant fluid in the tissues — the face looks immediately less swollen and more defined. And unlike chemical peels, microneedling or laser treatments, there is zero photosensitivity. You can go straight from the treatment to the beach, the pool, or anything else.
Who it's for
Is this treatment right for you?
RF & Microcurrent works well for anyone who wants to address early signs of aging without injectables or downtime. Specifically:
Fine lines and early wrinkles — especially expression lines
Loss of facial contour — jawline, cheekbones, oval of the face
Skin laxity — mild ptosis, loss of firmness
Puffiness and fluid retention — especially around the eyes and jaw
Dull, tired-looking complexion
Prevention — clients in their 30s who want to stay ahead of aging
Anyone looking for an alternative to Botox or fillers
Anyone who wants visible results with zero recovery time
Contraindications — please read before booking:
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pacemaker or metal implants in the treatment area (dental implants and braces are usually fine — assessed individually)
Recent Botox or fillers — RF accelerates their breakdown. Wait at least 2 weeks
Active cancer or oncology treatment
Active acne or skin inflammation
Thyroid conditions
Melasma

Questions I get asked a lot
FAQ
RF uses waves that heat the deeper layers of skin to 102–107°F, tightening existing collagen fibers immediately and stimulating new collagen production. Microcurrent works with the muscle layer — toning muscles while releasing tension that causes wrinkles. Together they lift, firm and depuff in a single session.
They work differently. Botox paralyzes muscles to prevent wrinkle formation. RF and Microcurrent strengthen and retrain the muscles while releasing harmful tension — improving tone without freezing expression. No injections, no downtime. Results build over a course and last up to 6 months. Many clients do both — Botox for specific lines, RF & Microcurrent for overall lifting and maintenance.
For cumulative lasting results — a course of 10 sessions, one per week. After the course, results last up to 6 months. We recommend repeating the course at that point. A single session delivers immediate visible results and is a great option before an event.
Not painful. The RF feels like comfortable warmth on the skin. Microcurrent is a gentle tingling sensation. Most clients find the treatment deeply relaxing.
Yes — and it's actually ideal for summer. Unlike peels, microneedling and laser treatments, RF and Microcurrent cause zero photosensitivity. No risk of pigmentation from sun exposure. They also work beautifully on summer puffiness by stimulating lymphatic drainage.
Yes. The results are visible the same day — puffiness goes down, the eyes look more open, the skin feels taut and smooth. Zero downtime. You can go straight to your event.
A single session is $180 for 90 minutes. A course of 10 sessions is $1,700. Book online or reach out if you have questions about which option is right for you.
