Description
6 sessions of facial INDIBA, 45 minutes each. 448 kHz radiofrequency applied to the face, in 45-minute sessions.
What it involves
INDIBA is a radiofrequency device that works at a fixed frequency of 448 kHz. That figure is not a sales detail: it is what defines the technology. At that frequency the current passes through the tissue, moving ions on both sides of the cell membrane, and the main effect is not thermal but one of exchange.
It works in two modes. The capacitive mode acts on the more superficial, more water-rich tissues—skin, soft muscle—; the resistive mode concentrates on the higher-resistance tissues—tendon, bone, fibrous tissue—and reaches deeper. The practitioner alternates between the two according to the aim.
What is best documented is the increase in local blood flow and temperature, and the effect on drainage and oedema. That is why it is so widely used in physiotherapy and tissue recovery, and why it fits particularly well after surgery.
Who it is for
Dull skin, facial oedema, and recovery after facial surgery or procedures. On the face, the work focuses on skin quality and drainage, not on lifting.
What a session is like
It is applied with a small head that glides over the face with a conductive cream. You feel a gentle warmth and it is comfortable. Afterwards the skin stays slightly pink for a while, and you can go about your day as normal.
What to expect
The immediate effect is brighter, less puffy skin. What the course aims for is a lasting change in texture and appearance, built up session by session.
What it does NOT do
It is not a facelift and does not replace one. Established laxity and descent of the tissues are not corrected with radiofrequency: we discuss that in consultation and tell you what the options are.
When it cannot be done. It is not used if you have a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device, over metal osteosynthesis hardware depending on the area, during pregnancy, or over an area with thrombosis, active infection or a tumour. We check all of this at the prior assessment.
What the package includes
- 6 sessions of facial INDIBA, 45 minutes each.
- Redeemable by appointment at the clinic. Valid for 12 months from purchase.
Whether it is right for you is always decided at a prior assessment in the clinic. If the treatment does not suit you, we will tell you and find one that does.
