Bio Visage Lifting Facial
The Bio Visage Lifting Facial, offered at the Renée Rouleau Skin Care Spa in Dallas, TX, is a popular non-surgical alternative to a facelift. The French skin rejuvenation treatment uses two probes to deliver low-level electrical currents exercising 32 of the 53 facial muscles. “Combined with an exfoliating peel, it visibly improves muscle tone in the face and neck, tightening and firming skin,” says Renée Rouleau, founder of her eponymous spa and skincare line. “This treatment is ideal for those with aging skin and loss of tone.”
