How It Works

Hair removal with the V-IPL handpiece on the Sinclair V-20 platform uses advanced Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology to safely and effectively reduce unwanted hair.

The device delivers controlled pulses of light that target the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicle. This light energy converts to heat, disabling the follicle’s ability to produce new hair—without damaging the surrounding skin.

Because hair grows in cycles, treatments are spaced several weeks apart to target hair during its active growth phase, when results are most effective.

What to Expect

Clients typically experience a brief warming or snapping sensation, with the V-20’s advanced cooling technology enhancing comfort throughout the session. Treatment times vary based on the area treated and are generally quick and efficient. Following treatment, mild redness or warmth may occur and typically resolves within a few hours, allowing you to return to normal activities the same day. Hair will shed gradually over the weeks that follow, and a customized series of treatments spaced appropriately is recommended to achieve optimal, long-lasting hair reduction.

How it Works

Viora’s radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening technology delivers controlled heat into the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin. As existing collagen fibers contract and new collagen is formed, areas of laxity gradually become firmer and more lifted in appearance.

RF skin tightening can be used on many areas of the face and body, including the cheeks, eyelids, under eyes, jawline, neck, decolletage, abdomen, arms, thighs, and knees. By combining different RF modes and, in some handpieces, vacuum-assisted delivery, treatments can be tailored to your skin thickness and level of laxity.

This technology is non-surgical and does not remove skin. Instead, it encourages your own tissue to remodel over time, making it a good option for patients with mild to moderate looseness who are not ready for or do not want surgery.

What to Expect

A typical skin tightening visit takes 20–45 minutes depending on the area treated. After cleansing the skin, a conductive gel is applied. As the handpiece passes over the skin, you’ll feel a build-up of warmth in the deeper layers; most patients describe this as a comfortable heating sensation that is adjusted to stay within your tolerance.

The skin may appear slightly pink and feel warm immediately after treatment, but this usually resolves within a few hours. There is minimal to no downtime—most patients can return to normal activities right away, avoiding only excessive heat or aggressive skin care for a short time.

Because collagen remodeling takes time, the lifting and tightening effect builds gradually over several weeks to months. A series of sessions is typically recommended, followed by maintenance treatments to help support results. During your consultation we’ll discuss your specific areas of concern, how RF tightening compares to other options, and what kind of improvement you can expect.

Skin tightening can also be paired with V-FORM contouring or V-FR resurfacing at Captivate to address multiple concerns—tone, texture, and laxity—in a coordinated plan.

How it Works

As we age, wrinkles and fine lines become more prevalent, lip and cheek volume dissipate and facial features sag. Fortunately, aesthetic medicine provides a solution for the return of a more youthful appearance without excessive downtime or going under the knife.

Fillers, dermal fillers, and facial fillers are all names for injectable products that restore volume. Strategically placed in target areas, these quick and convenient treatments deliver multiple cosmetic advantages. These treatments smooth creases, lines, and folds that can make us look more tired and older than we’d like. 

At Captivate we use two types of dermal fillers, hyaluronic acid (Ha) and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers. 

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring acid in your skin. It gives your skin volume and keeps it hydrated. With age, your body stops making hyaluronic acid. Once injected it acts like at hydration magnet for instant volumizing and hydrating effects. 

Calcium hydroxylapatite is a mineral-like compound found in bones and teeth and is unique because it both instantly restores volume and stimulates collagen production. While it replenishes lost volume, you will absorb the filler over time, your body will metabolize the calcium, leaving behind skin support with natural collagen. 

What to expect

An appointment for a dermal filler at Captivate will take thirty minutes to an hour and require little to no downtime afterward with near instant results. The natural results of dermal filler will last a year or more making the treatment results both immediate and long lasting. 

In the hands of skilled injector, dermal fillers are an extremely safe way to enhance or revitalize your appearance. The most common side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, and pain at the injection site. These symptoms are usually mild and last less than a week. In some cases symptoms can last longer so we recommend getting treatments at least two weeks prior to important events, due to the possibility of bruising.

How it works

You will see results and visible smoothing three to four days post-injection. Sometimes it will take closer to a week for your results to appear. Typically, results will last about three to four months.

You may experience some mild side effects like minor tenderness, swelling, bruising, or a headache. We recommend getting treatments at least two weeks prior to important events, due to the possibility of bruising.

There is no downtime associated with neurotoxin injection. You can resume your normal activities immediately after the injection. Avoid rubbing the treated area for a few hours and avoid strenuous activities for the remainder of your treatment day. Read more about Captivate’s preferred neurotoxin, Xeomin.
