THE TECHNIQUE
The Legacy radiofrequency is an octopolar radiofrequency (the only one on the aesthetic market) that allows for:
The LEGACY radiofrequency tightens your skin fibres (collagen, elastin), thickening them and making them firmer for a more toned, smoother, and denser complexion.
This technique stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin for skin that appears visibly younger.
Thus, radiofrequency addresses sagging skin in certain areas known to be unsightly.
Through its thermal effect, it makes adipocytes more permeable and reduces their fat content… resulting in a diminished orange peel effect.
With the new generation of machines, LEGACY is equipped with a frequenced vacuum system called Varipulse, allowing for targeted reduction of localized cellulite through fat massage.
FOR WHOM?
The Legacy radiofrequency will appeal to those who exhibit early signs of skin laxity and/or localized fat accumulation.
BY WHOM?
Radiofrequency sessions are performed by assistants in the clinic trained in the Legacy technique.
INDICATIONS
PROTOCOL
A personalised treatment protocol will be established for each patient, although we often begin with an attack phase followed by a maintenance phase.
In the vast majority of cases, we will perform 2 sessions per week for 4 weeks.
Maintenance sessions are recommended (1 maintenance session every 2 weeks for very lax skin, extending to 4 weeks for skin with early signs of laxity).
SESSION FLOW
After applying glycerin to the treatment area, we will perform circular movements on the skin to gradually raise its temperature to the desired level. The device is equipped with a thermal probe to ensure skin tolerance is respected.
PRECAUTIONS
Radiofrequency should not be performed on an area containing metal deposits (such as prostheses). The presence of a pacemaker contraindicates the practice of radiofrequency.
RESULTS
Results are noticeable from the very first session, with a more taut appearance in the treated areas.
THE OPINION OF Nathalie :
1st session : I had my assessment at the centre to define the areas I wanted to erase.
I was explained the Legacy technique and the results I could expect without any false hopes. It was clear that I would be involved in my treatment plan.
A few days later, I made an appointment with an assistant who used a handheld device on the back of my thighs. A sensation of warmth gradually settled in, reaching the superficial and deeper layers of my skin to stimulate collagen production. My session lasted about 30 minutes and this was repeated twice a week for a month during which my skin was supposed to become smoother and firmer.
What I really appreciated at the centre was that they offered to connect me with a nutritionist for an assessment, because to be honest, after having a baby, I had gained quite a bit of weight.
To maximize my chances and optimise my treatment, as let’s not kid ourselves, diet and weight loss go hand in hand. It is with full awareness and clarity that I settled on the practitioner’s table.
A comfortable massage table where a liquid gel was applied to my thighs, allowing the handheld device to better adhere to the micro-suctions. Honestly, the contact with the heat was quite pleasant. The warmth helped me to overcome my apprehensions and relax.
In fact, the machine provides a sensation similar to that of a rolling massage. Ultra-precise movements from the endermologist creating large figure eights. Draining and soothing effects guaranteed.
Gradually, the temperature rises. It can really get hot and be surprising, but it is completely tolerable. The movements are continuous, I didn’t have time to get used to the sensation, and as the sessions progressed, my skin stopped feeling anything.
3rd session : The heating sensations really calmed down. My skin became accustomed to this feeling. By the end of the session, my legs felt light and drained.
5th session : The heat became really enjoyable. I could even fall asleep! The texture of my skin is softer, I managed my diet a bit better and therefore had less fatty deposits. I am hydrating my skin better at home on the advice of the endermologist with a PERFECT BODY cream that the centre recommended.
8th session : The last appointment. I am sad that it is ending so soon. I loved this technique.
I have therefore decided to maintain these excellent results, and to make sure it remains effective, to return for maintenance sessions once a month.
I stand in front of the mirror and the endermologist shows me the back of my thighs. I can see a genuine and noticeable change.
The fact that I managed my diet well has certainly played in my favour, but the texture of my skin, the suppleness, and the firming effects are all very real.
What I liked : The quick and visible results, and the completely non-invasive technique.
FEES (per session)
The 8 sessions: €750
Per session: €110
