Following the natural contours of your face, NuFace
delivers gentle micro current impulses to strategic locations
diminishing minor lines and wrinkles, restoring the tone and
facial muscles to a more youthful balance.
By increasing cellular blood flow, cell turnover is increased,
leading to increased amounts of collagen, elastin, and connective
tissue. NuFace
assists with skin rejuvenation, delays aging of the skin,
and reduces the appearance of facial wrinkling.
Cosmoderm
and Cosmoplast implants are used for the correction of
facial wrinkles, acne scars, and other soft tissue contour
deformities, and for restoration of the lip border.
