Skin loses 1% of its collagen every year after twenty-five. V-Shape rebuilds what time takes away.

IThe Science of Face Aging

Your face changes. Your skin lets go.

Collagen production drops by about one percent every year starting in your mid-twenties. The fibers that keep skin firm and structured weaken. Combined with gradual fat redistribution, sun damage, and gravity, this is what creates the visible signs of facial aging — sagging jowls, deeper folds, softening cheekbones, loose neck skin.

V-Shape works directly on this foundation. Controlled radio frequency heats dermal tissue at depths up to 11 millimeters, causing immediate collagen contraction and triggering long-term fibroblast activation. The result: your face produces its own new collagen — slowly, naturally, lastingly.

IIThe Treatment Map

Six zones. One machine.

From forehead to décolleté, V-Shape addresses every area of the face where time leaves its mark. Treatment is personalized — your specialist maps your concerns at consultation and customizes the protocol for your skin.

V-Shape facial treatment zones diagram 1 2 3 4 5 6
1

Forehead

Fine lines softened. Brow area subtly lifted through collagen stimulation in the upper face.

2

Eye Area

Under-eye laxity tightened. Crow's feet refined. Gentle settings appropriate for delicate skin around the eye.

3

Cheekbones

Lift and definition restored. Vacuum manipulation re-positions tissue while RF firms the underlying structure.

4

Nasolabial Folds

The lines from nose to mouth softened. Deep dermal heating addresses the structural cause, not just the surface.

5

Jawline & Jowls

The signature V-Shape outcome. Re-defines the lower face contour and tightens the jowl area visibly within the first session.

6

Neck & Décolleté

"Tech neck" skin laxity, horizontal lines, and chest crepiness — addressed with the same protocol that treats the face.

IIIWhat to Expect

Your face, over twelve weeks.

V-Shape is not Botox. There is no overnight transformation — and that's the point. Real collagen takes weeks to form. Here is what actually happens during and after your treatment course.

Day OneFirst Session

Immediate firming.

RF heat causes existing collagen to contract. Visibly tighter within an hour. No redness, no downtime.

Week FourMid-Course

Collagen begins.

Fibroblasts produce new collagen and elastin. Friends notice something different — but can't pinpoint what.

Week EightCourse Done

Peak change.

34% measured improvement in skin laxity is the clinical average. Jawline tighter, jowls reduced.

Week 12+Long-Term

Results stabilize.

Collagen fully matures. Studies document results up to 52 months with maintenance.

IVTreatment Programs

Clinical evidence is clear: weekly sessions over four to six weeks produce dramatically better outcomes than single treatments. Each course includes a complimentary consultation, face mapping, and progress photography.

VWhat We Offer

Two technologies. One face program.

Most spas use one face technology. We use two — because the face has two distinct needs. Here is what each one does, and why we recommend pairing them.

Technology One

V-Shape Facial

For the structure of your face

A non-invasive treatment that uses radio frequency, vacuum massage, and infrared light to stimulate your face's own collagen production from underneath the skin.

  • Tightens loose skin
  • Lifts the jawline and jowls
  • Softens nasolabial folds
  • Firms the neck and décolleté
A tighter, more defined face contour.
Technology Two

IPL Photofacial

For the clarity of your skin

A non-invasive treatment that uses pulses of broad-spectrum light to break down sun damage, dark spots, and visible blood vessels at the surface of your skin.

  • Removes brown spots and sun damage
  • Evens overall skin tone
  • Reduces redness and rosacea
  • Fades broken capillaries
A clearer, brighter, more even canvas.
Together,
the whole face.

V-Shape works on what's underneath — collagen, contour, structure. IPL works on what's on top — tone, pigment, canvas. Used together, they address what you feel and what you see. We'll design the right combination for your skin at your free consultation.

VIIs This For You?

Three women. The right treatment for each.

Not every concern calls for the same treatment. For these three women — and clients who recognize themselves in them — V-Shape, IPL, or both together has been the right answer.

She is forty-seven.

Years in the sun. Now showing.

Summers at the Cape. Beach years in her twenties without sunscreen. The freckles she once thought charming have multiplied into brown spots, and her skin tone — once even — now reads patchy under foundation. She doesn't have laxity yet. She has a canvas she wants back.

Why IPL fitsIPL targets pigment directly. Sun spots break down and flake off over one to two weeks. Uneven tone evens out. V-Shape isn't her treatment yet — IPL is.
She is fifty-two.

She does Botox. She wants more.

Injectables have been part of her routine for years. They work — but they don't change the quality of her skin, only its appearance. She wants firmer skin, better texture, a tighter jawline that isn't only smooth-from-Botox but actually firmer underneath.

Why V-Shape fitsIt complements injectables — works on skin quality, not muscle movement. The two together do more than either alone.
She is sixty.

A facelift feels too far. Doing nothing feels worse.

She's been considering surgery for two years. Friends have done it. The recovery scares her. The cost feels excessive. But every photograph reminds her that her face is changing, and ignoring it is no longer an option.

Why V-Shape fitsFor mild to moderate laxity, V-Shape delivers visible tightening without anesthesia or recovery. Honest expectations: not a facelift — but real, significant improvement.
Questions, Answered

The honest FAQ.

Does it hurt?

No. Both treatments are non-invasive and well-tolerated. V-Shape feels like a warm, firm massage — vacuum manipulation paired with comfortable heat. IPL feels like a quick snap of warmth, similar to a light rubber-band flick, with built-in cooling. No anesthesia needed for either.

What's the difference between V-Shape and IPL?

V-Shape uses radio frequency and vacuum to tighten skin structure — collagen, jawline, jowls, neck laxity. IPL uses light energy to brighten skin clarity — sun damage, brown spots, redness, broken capillaries, uneven tone. V-Shape addresses the shape of your face. IPL addresses the canvas. They solve different concerns and pair beautifully together.

How many sessions will I need?

V-Shape: three to six weekly sessions is the clinically studied protocol. Most clients see meaningful results after four. IPL: three to six sessions spaced four weeks apart, depending on the concern's severity. Your specialist will recommend a course tailored to you at your free consultation.

Is there any downtime?

V-Shape: none. Walk in, get treated, walk out. Some clients experience mild pinkness for an hour after, easily covered with light makeup. IPL: 24–48 hours of mild flushing or warmth. Pigmented spots may darken before flaking off naturally over one to two weeks. No peeling, no recovery, no missed work.

How long do results last?

V-Shape: clinical studies document results lasting up to 52 months with periodic maintenance. IPL: results last six to twelve months typically, longer with strict sun protection. We recommend a maintenance V-Shape session every 4–6 weeks after your initial course, and one or two IPL touch-ups per year.

Will I still look like me?

Yes — and that's the point. Neither treatment adds anything artificial. V-Shape stimulates your own collagen. IPL removes accumulated sun damage. You'll look firmer, brighter, more rested. Like yourself, just better.

Can I do V-Shape and IPL together?

Yes — and many clients do. They treat different concerns, so they complement rather than compete. We typically alternate them across visits, or design a combined program that addresses both your structural and clarity goals. Your consultation will map the right rhythm for your skin.

When is the best time of year for IPL?

Fall and winter are ideal. Skin is more sun-sensitive for four to six weeks after IPL — strict SPF discipline is required if you're treating during summer months. V-Shape has no seasonal restrictions and can be done year-round.
