What Is Optima Restore?
Optima Restore is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that combines two proven technologiesradiofrequency (RF) energy and injectable hyaluronic acid (HA) fillersinto a single, streamlined session. Designed primarily for facial rejuvenation, the system targets fine lines, volume loss, skin laxity, and textural irregularities, delivering a refreshed, naturallooking result without the downtime associated with more invasive surgical procedures.
How It Works
The Optima Restore platform consists of a handheld applicator that first delivers controlled radiofrequency heat to the deeper layers of the dermis. This heat stimulates collagen remodeling and promotes new elastin fibers, improving skin firmness. While the RF energy is being applied, the practitioner simultaneously injects a proprietary HA filler into targeted zones, restoring lost volume and hydration.
- Thermal stimulation: 4045C heat triggers fibroblast activity.
- Hyaluronic acid infusion: Provides immediate lift and longlasting moisture retention.
- Synergistic effect: RF prepares the tissue, allowing the filler to integrate more evenly.
