FACES
A revolutionary technology called FACES (Functional Aspiration Controlled Electrothermal Stimulation) results in energy deposited deep in the skin without affecting the skin's surface and without pain. Risks are very minimal. An electrolyte lotion is applied to the epidermis, and the skin is gently drawn into the tip of the handpiece. This in essence folds the skin, placing the deep dermal tissue and target collagen in a straight line with the radio frequency(RF) source and ground. As RF energy is produced, it travels a straight line between the two pads. Virtually invisible to the epidermis, it reaches the resistance of the dermis and a volume of heat is generated. As the temperature of the dermis is raised above 60° C, collagen denatures and the fibrils contract and thicken. The patient is comfortable and only experiences a gentle warming sensation. In the months following treatment, the body's natural wound healing processes remove the damaged collagen and lay down new collagen which is thicker, more organized and has a structure similar to that found in younger and less damaged skin. The result is a firmer and more youthful look.
Aluma
Predictable and virtually pain-free, the Aluma skin renewal system with FACES (Functional Aspiration Controlled Electrothermal Stimulation) technology is a revolutionary approach to the treatment of wrinkles.
Skin Renewal for Wrinkles and Fine Lines
- Radio Frequency(RF) Technology: Proven in clinical studies to improve skin texture
- Bipolar RF Delivery: Precisely controls the volume of tissue heated
- Gentle: Low risk, virtually pain-free wrinkle removal that is easily tolerated without anesthesia
- No Downtime: Innovative FACES technology bypasses the epidermis so patients can immediately return to normal activities
- Rapid Treatment: A typical treatment takes 15 minutes
- Easy: Intuitive touchscreen interface with computerized treatment presets facilitates treatment for all users, from novice to experienced
- Safe: Vacuum assisted bipolar handpiece focuses RF energy precisely where it can have the maximum effect. Heat conduction to the epidermis and non-target tissue is minimized
Unique Ergonomic Handpiece
 Aluma's ergonomic handpiece features a specially designed smart tip with an electronic safety mechanism and filter that prevents coupling medium from eAluma's ergonomic handpiece features a specially designed smart tip with an electronic safety mechanism and filter that prevents coupling medium from entering the handpiece.
Exclusive FACES Technology 
The Aluma handpiece uses vacuum to fold the skin, ensuring contact and positioning the dermis in direct alignment with the path of radio frequency. The combination of this vacuum positioning and the use of topical conductive coupling medium concentrate heat deep in the dermis, leading to collagen contraction and regeneration. The result is predictable, effective treatment that is virtually painless.
FAQ - Wrinkles
Q: What type of facial wrinkles can be treated with the Aluma Skin Renewal System?
A: In order of increasing depth, the majority of the wrinkles treated include the peri-ocular (crow-feet around the eyes), peri-oral (around the mouth and upper lip), on the forehead, glabella (frown wrinkles) and along the cheeks (smile wrinkles). Aluma treatment is best suited for treating fine to moderate facial wrinkles.
Q: Who can be treated?
A: Aluma energy is not effected by skin color, tanning or any other characteristic. Anyone wanting to treat mild to moderate wrinkles and achieve smoother skin can be treated.
Q: What can my patients expect?
A: Aluma treatment is comfortable. A revolutionary technology called FACES (Functional Aspiration Controlled Electrothermal Stimulation) results in energy deposited deep in the skin without affecting the skin's surface and virtually without pain. Skin is gently drawn into the tip of the handpiece. Energy is delivered resulting in a gentle warming of the deeper layers of the skin. A treatment typically takes about 15 minutes.
A series of treatments are recommended for best results. Fine lines improve as new collagen is deposited in the dermis. Although some improvement will be seen within a month to a few months, the skin should continue to improve for several months after treatment as new collagen is deposited.
