To tighten the skin using Radio Frequency (RF), our clinicians use an electromagnetic device that generates heat to stimulate the production of dormant collage and elastin, essentially giving it an awakening to grow again. This nonsurgical “facelift” firms and lifts sagging skin. The results are temporary, but with a series of treatment, results can last up to a year or more. The end results to a series can be very similar to a surgical procedure that would tighten the skin.
Radiofrequency skin tightening can be used on most areas of the face and body, including the neck, stomach, arms, and thighs. We recommend 6-8 treatments about 1 week apart for the best results.
Freaquently Asked Questions
Radio Frequency FAQ's
Q: How does RF skin tightening work?
A: RF skin tightening works by delivering radiofrequency energy into the skin's deeper layers, causing the tissues to heat up. This heat stimulates collagen production, which in turn firms and tightens the skin over time.
Q: Is RF skin tightening safe?
A: Yes, RF skin tightening is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner. It's non-invasive and doesn't involve the same risks associated with surgical procedures.
Q: What areas of the body can be treated with RF skin tightening?
A: RF skin tightening can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. It's effective for reducing wrinkles, tightening loose skin, and improving overall skin texture.
Q: Is there any downtime after RF skin tightening treatments?
A: RF skin tightening is a non-invasive procedure, so there's typically minimal to no downtime. Some people may experience temporary redness or mild swelling, but these side effects usually resolve quickly.
Q: How long do the results of RF skin tightening last?
A: The results of RF skin tightening can last anywhere from six months to a year or more, depending on individual factors and the quality of collagen produced. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to prolong the results.
Q: Who is a good candidate for RF skin tightening?
A: Good candidates for RF skin tightening are generally individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who are looking to improve the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, or cellulite without undergoing surgery. It's important to consult with a qualified practitioner to determine if RF skin tightening is suitable for your specific concerns.
Q: How many sessions are typically needed for noticeable results?
A: The number of sessions needed for noticeable results can vary depending on individual factors such as skin laxity and treatment area. However, most people undergo a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for favorable outcomes.
Q: Is there any downtime after RF skin tightening treatments?
A: RF skin tightening is a non-invasive procedure, so there's typically minimal to no downtime. Some people may experience temporary redness or mild swelling, but these side effects usually resolve quickly.
