During the process, you are made to lie down comfortably and a hand piece is placed on the area of treatment. This hand piece emits radio frequency to heat up the fat cells. Due to the warmth, the cells start heating up causing the shrinking of cells. Eventually, skin contraction is promoted leaving behind a smooth and slimming effect. The level of heat, depth of reach, and positive experience is ensured for each candidate. The whole process will accumulate no more than 1 hour.
