How Long Does it Take to Perform a PiXel8-RF Treatment and How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The procedure itself takes approximately 20-30 minutes. However, the treatment area will need to be prepared which may take an additional 30 minutes. Obvious results are normally seen after just 1-treatment.  However, to help achieve the maximum benefit a 3-treatment series is suggested with each treatment 4-weeks apart.
