Radio Frequency Skin Tightening
Radio-frequency skin tightening is an aesthetic technique that uses radio frequency (RF) energy to heat skin with the purpose of stimulating collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid production in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines and loose skin. It’s a nonsurgical method of tightening your skin and involves using energy waves to heat the deep layer of your skin known as your dermis.
Collagen is the most common protein in your body. It creates the framework of your skin and gives your skin its firmness.
As we age, our cells produce less collagen, which leads to skin laxity, typically occurring around age 35 to 40 when the quantity and quality of your collagen begins to decline.
The best thing about this treatment – it’s a lunchtime thing. Depending on the area being treated it can take from 15 to 45 mins with minimal downtime. It’s considered a safe procedure with the most common side effects being temporary swelling, redness and some tingling in the skin.
Results won’t happen overnight but it will happen. You have to wait for the collagen and elastin to be produced so it will take around 6 to 10 treatments having one or two a week – patience is a virtue and as they say – all good things come to those who wait!
