Your questions

Frequently asked questions

What is TORR?

An external radiofrequency treatment using a moving handpiece to warm tissue.

Is TORR RF microneedling?

No. The external handpieces described here deliver energy through skin contact, rather than inserting needles.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of visits and spacing are personalized. We discuss a starting plan and review your response before recommending further treatment.

Can I combine it with another treatment?

Tell the clinic what you have recently had and what you are planning. Combining procedures is a separate decision; it depends on your skin, the products and the time available for recovery.
