Apollo TriPollar® Radiofrequency
Apollo TriPollar® is a multipolar radiofrequency skin-tightening technology — not a laser, ultrasound device, microneedling device or injectable treatment. It uses controlled radiofrequency energy to support firmer-looking skin and improved facial definition without surgery. Controlled radiofrequency heating is designed to support collagen remodeling and firmer-looking skin over time — natural-looking rejuvenation with no surgery or cosmetic injections and minimal downtime for many clients. Individual results vary.
Individual results vary.

- Continued improvement possible over 3–6 months
- Many clients describe a comfortable, warm-massage sensation.
- No surgery or cosmetic injections, minimal downtime for many clients
Personalized Face & Body Contouring
Armed with a range of applicators, James Hooper tailors every Apollo session to your goals — refining the face or smoothing and firming the body. Many clients notice a difference after a single visit, and a customized series may be recommended for continued improvement.
The number of standalone Apollo TriPollar sessions varies according to the treatment area, skin condition and individual goals. Some clients notice a visible change after one visit, while a customized series may be recommended for continued improvement. The Mini Butterfly Facelift is a separate four-technology treatment plan.
- Face — jawline, cheeks and crepey skin
- Neck and décolleté firming
- Body — abdomen, arms and thighs
- Personalized applicators for every area

How Apollo Fits into the Mini Butterfly Facelift
Apollo TriPollar® Radiofrequency is the primary skin-firming technology included in the four-technology Mini Butterfly Facelift. The current Mini combines Apollo TriPollar RF, Ultrasonic Cavitation, Red Light Therapy and Near-Infrared Therapy in one customized non-surgical session for the full face and neck.
Apollo is also one of the technologies in our comprehensive Butterfly Facelift, and as a standalone treatment it complements deeper Ultherapy lifting and RF microneedling for surface texture.
Apollo TriPollar RF or Mini Butterfly Facelift®?
Apollo TriPollar RF is available as a standalone treatment. It is also one of four complementary technologies included in the Mini Butterfly Facelift®. The appropriate option depends on your concerns, treatment areas, goals and suitability.

Our 20-Minute Visible-Change Policy
During the initial Apollo TriPollar RF portion of your treatment, James will evaluate the treated area with you. If neither you nor James sees a visible appearance change after approximately 20 minutes, you may stop and will not be charged for that service.
This policy applies to the initial Apollo TriPollar RF portion and to a visible appearance change observed during the appointment. It is not a guarantee of a particular degree of improvement, final outcome or result duration. Individual results vary.

Is Apollo TriPollar RF Right for You?
Apollo TriPollar RF radiofrequency energy may be appropriate for adults seeking a non-surgical treatment to improve the appearance of mild skin laxity, fine lines, and reduced facial or jawline definition.
Radiofrequency treatment may not be appropriate over active infections, open wounds, compromised skin, certain metal implants, or electronic medical devices such as pacemakers or implanted defibrillators. Tattoos containing metallic particles in the treatment area may also require additional evaluation.
Tell us about all implanted devices, medical conditions, medications, pregnancy, and previous facial procedures during your consultation. Results vary, and multiple sessions may be recommended.
Treatment suitability is determined during your consultation. Medical clearance may be required, and treatment may be adjusted, postponed, or declined for safety reasons.

What Our Clients Say
Hak S
July 2026
I definitely recommend James. I came to him because I was concerned about wrinkles, loose skin, and the visible signs of aging. He did the Mini Butterfly Facelift, which combines radio frequency microneedling, TriPollar, and Ultherapy to address those concerns. From the very beginning, he took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly, and create a treatment plan that was personalized to exceed my goals. I’ve been so happy with the results. My skin looks smoother, firmer, and more youthful. What impressed me most was the level of care and attention Jim brings to my appointment. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and detail oriented, and I can tell he genuinely enjoys helping his patients achieve the best possible results. I always felt comfortable asking questions because he took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel confident throughout the entire process. His experience and dedication are evident in the quality of his work, and I’m so thankful I found him. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jim to anyone looking for someone who is skilled, professional, and truly cares about delivering beautiful, youthful looking results.
Treatment clarification: Apollo TriPollar® RF is available as a standalone $300–$900 treatment. It is separate from the Mini Butterfly Facelift®, which combines four technologies: Apollo TriPollar® RF, ultrasonic cavitation, red light therapy and near-infrared therapy. The review above reflects the client’s own wording.

Jim Hooper did a great job on my face with the Apollo tri puller very happy

Wow! What a difference! I’m almost 50 years old and my face has been falling down for years now. I’ve tried different treatments over the years. None had results lasting more than a day. Jim used the Apollo and cavitation devices on me and the results are awesome! I’ve even had friends tell me I look fresh and rested! Win!! Jim smoothed out old filler. He greatly finished my eye bags. He got rid of the fat in the lower half of my face and neck and chin. The jowls are almost gone! I actually have a jawline again! I haven’t seen this face in years ! I am so pleased and thankful for Jim. He’s a great guy. He will give you his absolute full attention. He’s honest and has good energy. He’s passionate about his work. He will do whatever it takes to make you look better. Go see Jim! I have a few tips. Parking is easy. Jim’s office shares space with a day spa so look for the spa signage outside of suite 106 in building K. Show up fresh faced with no makeup. You will get ultrasound gel in you hair, eyebrows and lashes so maybe wait til after the appointment to do those other types of appointments. Thank you Jim. I can’t wait to go back. I’m excited to see what a second treatment would do. Btw, he recommends 3 treatments. I’m so happy after just one treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Apollo TriPollar RF?+
Apollo TriPollar RF is a multipolar radiofrequency treatment that uses controlled heat designed to support collagen remodeling and firmer-looking skin, and may help reduce the appearance of small pockets of stubborn fat — without surgery, with minimal downtime for many clients. Results vary.
What does it treat?+
Apollo is used to firm loose or crepey skin, soften fine lines and wrinkles, refine the jawline and neck, and may help reduce the appearance of small pockets of stubborn fat on the face and body. Treatment depth, temperature, duration and technique affect which tissue layers receive energy, so we plan conservatively in areas where preserving facial volume matters.
Does the treatment hurt?+
Discomfort varies, but most clients describe it as a warm, relaxing massage. The device continuously monitors skin temperature to keep the session safe and comfortable from start to finish.
Is there any downtime?+
Minimal downtime for many appropriate clients; individual recovery experiences vary. You may notice mild warmth, slight redness or tenderness for a short time afterward, and most clients return to their normal activities right away.
How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?+
Many clients see a fresher, tighter look soon after a session, with continued improvement possible over the following weeks as new collagen may develop. A customized series may extend results, and periodic maintenance can help maintain them. Individual results and treatment needs vary.
How many sessions will I need?+
The number of standalone Apollo TriPollar sessions varies according to the treatment area, skin condition and individual goals. Some clients notice a visible change after one visit, while a customized series may be recommended for continued improvement. We'll recommend a plan at your consultation.
Who is a good candidate?+
Adults with mild to moderate skin laxity or small areas of stubborn fat who want a comfortable treatment with minimal downtime for many clients are ideal candidates. A consultation confirms whether Apollo on its own or within the Butterfly Facelift suits your goals.
How does Apollo compare to the Butterfly Facelift?+
Apollo TriPollar RF is one of the technologies in the Butterfly Facelift, whose Signature tier combines Apollo TriPollar RF, Ultrasonic Cavitation, Ultherapy/HIFU, Microneedling, AQ Human Fibroblast Growth-Factor Skin Solution, Red Light Therapy, and Near-Infrared Therapy in a single session for a more complete lift. We'll help you choose the right option for your goals.
