Radio Frequency: The Iron for Your Face
Sagginess involves gravity. Skincare can't fight gravity, but controlled heat can.
What is Radio Frequency?
Radio Frequency (RF) is controlled thermal damage.
As we age, our collagen fibers stretch out like an old sweater. RF sends electrical waves deep into the dermis to heat it up to a precise 40°C-43°C.
This heat does two things instantly:
1. Shrinks the old collagen fibers (tightening effect).
2. Triggers a healing response, forcing your body to knit new, tight fresh collagen.
What Does It Feel Like?
Imagine a Hot Stone Massage that comes from inside your skin.
- 🔥It gets hot fast. You must keep the device moving in circles. If you stop, it will burn.
- 🥵Your face will be red for 30 minutes afterwards (erythema). This is good—it means the blood flow has spiked.
- 🛡️Unlike Microcurrent, there is no twitching. Just deep, radiating warmth.

The Golden Rules of RF
DO: Keep It Moving
Never hold it still on one spot. Think "Continuous Circles".
DON'T: Use on Thyroid
Avoid the center of your neck (thyroid gland). Stick to the sides and jawline.
DO: Use Glycerin
The gel is mandatory. If it dries out, spritz it with water to re-activate.
DON'T: Overdo It
Once or twice a week is max. Your skin needs days to rebuild the collagen.

Fat Loss Myth
"Will this melt my face fat?"
Usually no. At-home devices don't go deep enough or hot enough to kill fat cells. They tighten the skin wrapping around the fat.
