Reverso, what is it?
Reverso is a next generation device that combines two treatments in one, radio frequency and microneedling. Microneedling creates a tiny injury in the skin to stimulate collagen, radio frequency provides heat which leads to tighter, younger-looking skin. The treatment, although moderately uncomfortable, has demonstrated excellent improvement in skin texture, especially in the neck, a significant problem area for many individuals.
Deep fractional radio frequency achieves highly effective skin resurfacing and remodeling by causing local fractionated ablation. This injury then stimulates a healing response causing skin rejuvenation and collagen remodeling. Treatment is patient-tailored for optimal aesthetic results with the highest level of safety.
Combine with Halo, Plasma Pen or IPL for more comprehensive results.
Treatment targets the following:
- Restores Skin Firmness & Elasticity
- Tightens Loose & Sagging Skin
- Corrects Irregular Skin Texture
- Corrects Uneven Skin Tone (Pigmentation)
- Reduces Wrinkles & Fine Lines
- Decreases the Appearance of Scars (Post Acne)
- Shrinks Enlarged Pores
- Blurs Stretch Marks

$700 per treatment for face, neck, or treatment of texture or fine lines. $2,200 for 4 treatments.
$800 per treatment for stretch marks, central abdomen, flanks or back of arm. $2,500 for 4 treatments.

How long does the procedure take?
