Core Tip
Core tip: The significant change in circumferential measurements post-V-FORM treatments can be contributed not only to volume reduction due to improved metabolic rate and enhanced natural lipolysis, but also to edema reduction due to vacuum pressure integrated in the handpiece. Moreover, this technology enables the control of radiofrequency depth penetration which allows finishing the treatments with a skin tightening effect using higher radiofrequency frequencies (1.7 and 2.45 MHz).
