Radio frequency (RF) is the latest and most up-to-date skin care treatment for skin tightening. The temperature of the deeper skin tissue is raised to approximately 40 to 44 degrees through the penetration of the RF waves, which act on restructuring the aged collagen fibres.

In turn, the once loose, flaccid and dehydrated collagen becomes supple, firm and taut through the effects of heat. Immediate results are seen in the way of some lifting, however the best results are noticed approximately three months post-treatment due to the long-lasting effect on the collagen fibres. No downtime required with this treatment.

The majority of our pedicure stations do have the whirlpool jets, however, they are pipeless, which means there is no stagnant water sitting in the lines from client to client. Our units create the whirlpool action through two fans which move the water about.

To sanitize our basins after each client, basins are drained and rinsed, then scrubbed down with a scrub brush and anti-bacterial soap. They are rinsed a second time, then sprayed with a disinfectant and left to sit for 10 minutes. This destroys all forms of microbes and TB. They are then rinsed again thoroughly in preparation for the next client.
