“This is how I started my RF (radio frequency) skin tightening treatment Time because sometimes you don’t see the final results until 3 months later. I love this treatment for sculpting the jaw and tightening the skin. I will now also start my regular microcurrent treatment to lift and sculpt the face. The most important thing about microcurrent is not the equipment, but the consistency: if you do not commit to regular use, even the best equipment will not work. At home, I recommend using your equipment at least 3-4 times a week, if more More, that’s great!
