Radio Frequency (RF) for Skin Tightening

Radio Frequency (RF) is a non-invasive technology that uses energy waves to heat the deep layer of your skin known as the dermis.

By maintaining a precise temperature (usually between 40°C and 43°C), RF tricks the skin into thinking it has been injured. The body responds by producing high levels of collagen and elastin to "repair" the area. This results in tighter, thicker, and more youthful-looking skin over time.

RF is best known for its tightening and firming capabilities. It addresses the "sag" that comes with age, whereas other treatments like LED focus more on surface tone and texture.

• Skin Tightening: Reduces mild to moderate sagging in the jowls, neck, and cheeks.
• Wrinkle Reduction: Softens deep set lines (nasolabial folds) by plumping the skin from within.
• Long-term Prevention: Regular use helps maintain collagen banks, slowing down future aging.

Expected Timeline: Results are not instant. Collagen production takes time. You typically see initial results after 6-8 weeks of weekly treatment, with full results visible after 3 months. RF tightens deep skin layers, but for surface brightness and acne control, consider pairing it with an LED Mask.

The golden rule of RF is keep it moving. To prevent hot spots or burns, you must continuously move the device in circular motions.

Like microcurrent, RF requires a conductive gel (often glycerin-based) to ensure the energy penetrates the skin and to act as a barrier against surface heat.

Note: People with rosacea or melasma should be cautious, as the heat from RF can sometimes trigger flare-ups.
