FAQs - Aluma Skin Renewal System
How does it work?
The new and innovative technology used in the Aluma system is known as FACES (Functional Aspiration Controlled Electrothermal Stimulation). Skin is drawn gently into the tip of the hand piece and energy delivered deep into the dermis to create a mild and virtually painless warming.
With the introduction of improved cooling techniques, it is possible to deliver RF energy to the deep dermis and sub-dermal layers of the skin, whilst protecting the epidermis. Heating in this area, without damaging the outer layers of skin, causes microscopic changes to the tissues and collagen contraction, with subsequent collagen re-modeling over the months that pass.
Will it hurt?
No, most people notice a gentle warming sensation but discomfort is rare. Unlike a facelift, the treatment is relatively straightforward, so you can go back to your daily routine straight away
How many treatments will I need?
The amount of treatments you'll require depends on the extent of your lines and wrinkles. A course normally consists of between 4-6 treatments.
Will there be any bruising?
Occasionally superficial bruises appear but these will disappear after a few days.
When will I see the results?
You should notice some improvement within a month. However, the skin should continue to improve for several months afterwards as new collagen continues to be generated.
