What

Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Tightening is a non-surgical treatment to tighten the skin which involves using energy waves to heat the deep layer of the skin (the dermis) to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin. RF Skin Tightening is a great option for those who want to firm loose skin on their face or body,

or those looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

How

Radio Frequency (RF) energy generates heat down in the collagen-rich dermis at temperatures of 40°C on the surface of the skin, and above 60°C below the skin. In response to the initial high heat energy, the skin stimulates a wound healing response at a dermal level. This results in new collagen formation leaving the skin looking firmer, tighter and more youthful.

When

Our Radio Frequency Skin Tightening treatment relies on the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin to reveal results. The body takes some time to produce collagen, so the full benefits of RF may take some time (anywhere from 4-12 weeks) to show. Some clients may have a single session of RF and feel some of the tightening benefits straight away, however with any RF treatment a course of treatments is recommended to maximize your results. RF Skin Tightening treatment results are ongoing as the treatment kick starts the body’s ability to stimulate collagen and elastin. The results of any non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment will always vary from person to person.
