As you age, the quantity and quality of collagen fibres in your skin declines. RF therapy projects low energy heat into the deep layer of your skin called the dermis. This heat stimulates the production of collagen to help improve signs of wrinkles and sagging skin.
Radio frequency treatments have form where tightening and firming skin is concerned. Like laser and LED treatments, radio frequency uses energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production, but the heat energy is electrical rather than light based.
Radio frequency is appealing because it’s a non-invasive and relatively gentle way to tighten the skin.
Radio frequency works on the underlying skin structure and contour the face to create firm, toned and youthful looking skin.
It’s this tightening, firming action, brought about by boosting collagen and elastin synthesis, that makes radio frequency especially suitable for targeting loose skin and the neck and chin, wrinkles and lines that develop between the nose and mouth.
It can also be used on the body as well.
Radio frequency treatments can smooth out stretch marks and tighten areas of loose skin, making it just as apt for your buttocks as it is for your face.
Mechanisms of action include encouraging fat cells to commit ‘suicide’ (so-called adipocyte apoptosis) after treatment with selective radio frequency.
The beauty of radio frequency is that it is suitable for most people as the depth of heating helps to firm, tighten and lift as well as reinvigorating skin for a healthy glow.
A course of 6-10 treatments may be needed to achieve desired results with ideally 1 treatment every 2 weeks.
