The radio frequency produces two or three currents depending on whether it's bipolar or tripolar, heating the deeper skin tissues to promote blood circulation to tighten the skin. At the same time, cooling measures are taken on the skin's surface by applying our special cooling gel. This heat creates a focussed wound-healing response that can take up to 4 months to complete. During this time, the dermal layer thickens and produces more collagen, and the wrinkles are then pushed out so the skin becomes firmer, tighter and more contoured.
How It Works-Radio Frequency Energy
RF devices deliver energy to the skin's deeper layers, causing controlled heating. This stimulates collagen and elastin production.
Collagen Stimulation: The heat causes the collagen fibers to contract and tighten, while also promoting new collagen formation over time.
Non-Invasive: Unlike surgical facelifts, RF treatments do not involve cuts or anesthesia
Treatment Areas- Face : Commonly treated areas include the forehead, cheeks, jawline, neck and around the eyes.
Benefits- Minimal Downtime:
Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.-
Gradual Improvement: Results improve over several months as new collagen forms.-
Safety: Generally safe for all skin types, with a low risk of side effects when performed by trained professionals.
Considerations- Multiple Sessions: Typically, several sessions are required to achieve optimal results.-
Temporary Effects: While RF skin tightening can provide noticeable improvements, the results are not permanent and may require maintenance treatments.-
Mild Side Effects: Possible side effects include redness, swelling, and temporary discomfort.
Procedure
1. Consultation: An initial consultation to assess the skin and determine the best treatment plan.
2. Preparation: Skin is cleansed and a conductive gel may be applied.
3. Treatment: The RF device is moved over the target areas, delivering controlled energy.
RF skin tightening is popular for its ability to provide visible skin improvement without the need for invasive procedures.
