WHAT IS RADIO FREQUENCY THERAPY?

Radio Frequency Skin Tightening or RF as it is sometimes referred to, is a popular procedure for the non-surgical and painless tightening of the early signs of loose or sagging skin. It is a suitable treatment for both male or female clients who fall in to the mid-twenties to early sixties age category. For those wishing to avoid needles or surgical face lift procedures, this is a must-have treatment.

The effect radio frequency waves have on the collagen bonds is to release and unwind them. As these collagen bundles spread apart, new fibrous tissue surrounds the area and this stimulates the growth of new collagen. Essentially, the collagen reforms and is remoulded resulting in a thickening effect on the dermal layer for improved skin surface texture. Localised metabolism and increased blood circulation in the area of treatment also occurs to release trapped toxins.

​The unique combination of processes involved in RF skin tightening provides both an immediate uplifting effect, followed by further longer-term skin tightening, restructuring and rejuvenating benefits. Radio frequency also gives deep, controlled heating of the fatty layers under the skin, which means that superficial fatty deposits can be broken down and drained through the lymphatic system, reducing the appearance of cellulite.

Radio frequency has a proven track record and has been shown to be safe. It has been used in neurosurgery, dermatology, cardiology, and ENT for more than 70 years! The treatment is relaxing and pain-free.

​It may be recommended to have a session of radio frequency skin tightening weekly or bi-weekly with an average of 6 – 12 sessions in a treatment program. But this will all depend on the individual’s needs.

Radio Frequency has been clinically proven to tightening the skin. The effects of radio frequency skin tightening are not immediate but are gradual and become more noticeable as the days and weeks go by, reaching their maximum effect even as long as 4 months after the treatment.
