According to the company, this is a breakthrough technology in the world of aesthetic medicine, in which the treating physician can use the innovative device to tighten the skin around the eyes and improve the skin's appearance in a non-invasive procedure, in just one treatment - no recovery time is required, and immediately after the treatment, one can resume normal activities.

And this is the scientific explanation behind the technology: optimal stimulation is achieved by heating the dermis to a temperature of 60-70 degrees Celsius for 5 seconds in each pulse. Multiple ultrasound waves spread through the tissue and create an array of unique three-dimensional thermal areas similar to coils parallel to the skin. The injury in this layer encourages the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid over time, which leads to the eyes looking fresher and rejuvenates the eye area.
