WHAT IS RAdio Frequency skin tightening?

RF Skin Tightening Treatments, also known as Radio Frequency, is an extremely popular aesthetic treatment worldwide. It is a non-surgical solution to treat wrinkles, sagging skin, and other signs of ageing.

Radio Frequency treatment is a technique in which radiofrequency energy is used for skin tightening. It targets lax skin to improve the tightness and smoothness of loose skin on the face, neck and body. These face and body treatments are painless, effective and safe. It is a popular choice for people looking for a pain free experience with great results and no downtime.

For optimal results on the face when sagging skin and wrinkles are the primary concern, we combine RF with HIFU, cosmetic injectables and skin needling treatments. A programme of RF Skin Tightening treatments combined with at-home skincare will deliver the best results.

HOW DOES RF Skin tightening work?

RF uses radio frequency (RF) energy on the skin, heating up the collagen present in the deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates the production of more collagen and elastin which smooths and lifts the skin’s surface. Hence, your skin tightens and appears lifted and youthful. The final result is a firmer, tighter, and lifted appearance.

A specially designed hand piece is slowly rotated over the target area transmitting radio waves through the upper layers of the skin to the dermis, heating the dermis. The RF device emits a warm and pleasant sensation, making facial and body skin tightening a pain-free and non-invasive treatment. Depending on the area treated, one RF treatment may last between 30 and 60 minutes.

If the skin is red, irritated, or broken, we cannot treat until the skin has completely healed
Please advise of any blood thinning or skin thinning medications you are taking
If you have any metal implants in the area being treated, unfortunately we cannot treat with RF. This is because the metal attracts the RF energy, and the area can become quite hot and painful

- Pregnant or breastfeeding women
- People with Metal implants (in the treatment area) and implanted electronic devices
- Persons who have been on Roaccutane in the last 6 months or Retinol or Tretinoin in the last 2 weeks
- People who have cystic acne, open wounds or infections in the area to be treated

The tightening and lifting effect of RF, can for some clients produce instant results. You should notice improvements to your skin tone that will just get better with each session. Results vary greatly from individual to individual. The full benefits of the collagen stimulation takes around 3 months after treatment. RF Skin Tightening works by stimulating the body’s own collagen and elastin, so the results are ongoing.
This will depend on your individual situation, and we will carefully assess this for you during your consultation. We recommend between 8-12 sessions for optimal results. For the treatment to be effective, RF Skin Tightening must be performed at least once a week during the initial treatment period, however, we recommend two sessions per week. Results should last for as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Again, this varies from one individual to the next and depends on factors including diet, age and genetics.
