How soon will I notice effects from the TRIACTIVE?
Your individual results can depend on several factors:

How often can I have a complete series of TRIACTIVE treatments?
Normally, the series can be done annually with follow-up monthly maintenance treatments. If you have experienced weight reduction, a change in your body fat composition (and need additional tightening) or are having other areas of your body treated, you may want to consider miniseries of treatments.
HOW can TRIACTIVE complement my liposuction procedure?
Because liposuction is a surgical procedure, normal side effects include fluid retention
(edema) and slackening of the skin. Triactive is recommended after the lipo to accelerate the tightening of the area. Treatment prior to surgery may also have added benefits. At Eterna M.D. our doctors will customize your protocol.

You may be able to schedule TRIACTIVE treatments between your laser hair removal. At Eterna M.D. our Medical Director will assist you.
