The Business Times reviews: Aes-TECH-tics

A gel is applied to the face, followed by a heated applicator that should immediately shrink the skin as the radiofrequency waves go into the subdermal and inner dermis layers. This is followed by gentle micro-needling which can feel alternately ticklish and slightly painful in some areas. This is to allow the topical proprietary serum (Eladerm CosmeLED Le Serum) to penetrate into the skin, to enhance the regenerating and brightening effect. The third step sees LED photomodulation panels placed over your face, using cold light to activate new collagen formulation. Because of the intensity, the effect is double that of a one-off treatment and can continue for up to four months, the clinic says. The programme may be repeated every two to six months, depending on the skin condition. EstheClinic was founded in France, and the company also manufactures and distributes aesthetic treatment machines and cosmeceuticals.
