Move over, botox. There’s a new, groundbreaking treatment on the block – the radio-frequency pulsonic facial. And, what’s more, it’s on offer here at Unico Aesthetic skin clinic in the Midlands. In this post, we’ll give you the lowdown over this exciting new advancement in wrinkle treatment.

How it works

This non-invasive treatment involves gently heating the skin to improve blood circulation and collagen production. Then, a precise, “pen-style” tool is used to target wrinkle by wrinkle using a pulsed radio frequency, filling the wrinkle and causing the skin to regenerate. It can actually give a more precise result than botox treatment. Best of all, you won’t need any sort of anaesthetic for the treatment.

What it treats

Recommended for your face, neck and décolletage, as well as the back of the hands, the procedure can reduce the appearance of fine lines, including expression lines, and stimulate collagen production, for firm, glowing skin.

The benefits

There are lots of benefits to skin, due to the effectiveness of the treatment. Thanks to the boost in collagen production, you’ll enjoy lifted and tightened skin, while your tone will appear radiant. You’ll also see benefits to areas that are saggy or creased, owing to the treatment’s firming effect.

Treatment time

While it can take longer than botox, with each session lasting around 1 hour, results last anywhere from 3-6 months, and there’s no downtime – so you can jump straight back into your everyday life. Plus, as the treatment is non-invasive, you’ll be able to repeat it as often as you like. Just the thing when you need a boost to your glow!

The risks

There are actually no side-effects from this type of treatment – which is fantastic, when compared to some of the side-effects of botox, such as headaches – but there are some recommendations. So, those with certain skin conditions should avoid the treatment, and it’s not advisable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. For other exceptions, you can see a full list on our treatment page.
