RF Skin Tightening

If you have noticed sagging around your eyelids, cheeks, jaw or neck radio frequency skin tightening treatments can tighten that sagging skin, giving you a more refreshed younger looking look and feel.

The term "radio frequency" refers to the thermal energy that is delivered to and through the skin by a device to trigger the creation of new natural collagen.

Radio frequency (RF) treatments can be performed on the face and all over the body to tighten, firm and lift the skin with no downtime.

Benefits of RF Skin Tightening

• Boosts collagen production
• Offers immediate results
• Accelerates healing
• Tightens skin
• Improves skin texture
• Improves skin tone

The best part about radio frequency treatments is that they do not require any injections or surgery for results.

How to Prepare for RF Skin Tightening

Unlike some cosmetic treatments, radio frequency skin tightening does not require much prep work. That said, if you have recently had a microneedling treatment, chemical peel, dermal fillers or other wrinkle reducing treatments, it is best to wait one month before getting RF skin tightening.

What to Expect During RF Treatment

Radio frequency skin tightening treatments are not typically painful, result in zero downtime and are actually very comfortable.

As for the treatment itself a thick layer of cooled ultrasound gel is applied to the treatment area. Once the area is prepped with gel and the RF begins, you can expect to feel mild heat to the skin - very similar to a hot stone massage.

In total, each treatment tends to last between 20 and 40 minutes.

Potential Side Effects

On its own, RF is incredibly safe and does not typically lead to adverse side effects.

Temporary redness, tingling, and swelling can occur but this will pass very quickly after your treatment.

How Many Treatments are Needed

Depending on your desired result a series of six weekly or fortnightly treatments to promote optimal collagen remodeling is usually advised followed by one to two top-up treatments a year for maintenance thereafter.

As for results you will immediately see a tighter and more contoured appearance following an RF skin tightening treatment.

Results last two-to-three weeks after the first treatment and longer after subsequent treatments.

Aftercare

Considering the side effects of radio frequency skin tightening are minimal, aftercare is not much to worry about.

You can get back to your normal skin care routine and activities immediately after treatment, without fear of looking flushed or burned.

The Final Takeaway

Radio frequency skin tightening addresses sagging skin by promoting collagen production. It is an ideal treatment for anyone with mild sagging skin on their face and neck, though it can be used on other areas of the body (such as the abdomen and thighs) as well.

While the results are not permanent, they are long-lasting and can be maintained with just a couple of treatments per year.

RF treatments are an excellent alternative treatment for persons with a darker skin tone who may not be suitable candidates for some other skin rejuvenating treatments.
