The use of Radio Frequency, Is it Safe?

Radiofrequency (RF) treatment refers to the controlled application of RF energy, a form of electromagnetic energy, to the surface of the skin. RF energy has been used safely for many years in surgery but only recently in dermatology and cosmetic procedures. The application of RF energy causes bulk heating of the lower layers of the skin without causing any damage to the upper layer, or external surface of the skin.

How Does It Work?

Clinical research has shown that bulk heating of the connective tissue in the lower layers of the skin causes the skin to tighten. Non-surgical skin tightening is achieved by the effect of heat on the collagen fibers which causes them to lose their long fiber structure and shrink into a more compact form. This causes increased tension within the skin which achieves the effect of tightening.

How Many Sessions Will I Need? How Long Is Each Session?

It is recommended a course of 6 sessions, with intervals of 10 days between each procedure is the minimum number of treatment sessions. Following the initial course of treatment, skin tightening maintenance treatments can be given every 3 to 6 months (and sometimes every 12 months) depending on the longevity of the patient’s response. Depending on the area you are, the time will vary. On Average allow 15 – 45 minutes for the procedure. You will be advised at time of consultation with time and cost of procedure.
