Is IPL or RF better for me?
Our hybrid REVITAL-EYES therapy includes both the IPL and RF treatments depending on your skin tone. If you have a lighter complexion the IPL and RF treatments will work together to benefit you; however, if you have a darker complexion the radio frequency RF treatment will work best! We will determine your eligibility at your initial consultation appointment.
Is it covered by insurance?
Unfortunately, this treatment is considered cosmetic because of it’s incredible aesthetic benefits so it is not covered by insurance.
