For those seeking a more extensive sculpting experience, the Body Firming Detox treatment incorporates the brand’s new NuBODY technology, the first FDA-cleared at-home microcurrent device that helps tone skin, to refine and firm body contours and promote detoxification as well as re-energize. Through a multi-step process that includes an exfoliating scrub and a state-of-the-art slimming massage, the detox exfoliates the skin, stimulates lymphatic drainage and circulation and promotes the absorption of clinically tested slimming actives. In addition to the new treatments, Sense will also offer the option to incorporate the cutting-edge microcurrent technology into every facial on the existing treatment menu with the NuFACE FIX Line Smoothing Device, which instantly firms, smooths and tightens around the eyes, mouth and forehead, leaving the skin youthful and radiant.
