Tone-Up-Ting (Toning + Lifting)
Tone-Up-Ting is Violacell's signature combination of pico laser toning and HIFU lifting in one session. Toning targets uneven pigment and dullness, while HIFU tightens deeper tissue for a firmer contour. It takes about 20–30 minutes with numbing cream; mild redness or tenderness can last 2–7 days.
What is Tone-Up-Ting (Toning + Lifting)?
