Radio frequency treatments

Radiofrequency (RF) is a non-invasive technique for tightening sagging or loose skin. Rf therapy makes use of electrical pulses. It warms the dermis (the deepest skin layer) through the handpiece without injuring the epidermis (top layers of skin) to promote new collagen development and improve skin laxity and look, as well as remodel and boost dermal density with minimum risk. It warms the epidermis to around 40-41 degrees and the dermis to approximately 70 degrees, resulting in: Retraction of Tissue: The produced heat stimulates local collagen fibre contraction, rapidly tightening skin to reconstruct and regenerate the past effects of ageing.

​

The radio frequency treatments is delivered by placing an electrode onto the skin and applying alternative current of the required frequency. As a result, the skin is deep treated with controlled doses of targeted radio waves. At the same time the skin surface layer, consisting of the epidermis shows light erythema which will subside after the treatment.

​

Radio Frequency is a great tool for reducing cellulite and lifting buttocks. This can be used as a single treatment however in majority of cellulite treatments cavitation is beneficial to reduce fat pouches that are trapped under the skin.

​

The Radio frequency face lift is FDA approved as a non surgical treatment for wrinkles and facial skin imperfections. It is a non-surgical procedure that requires no scalpels or sutures. Rf energy is beneficial for collagen production and improvement of underlying fibrous tissue. RF energy is able to penetrate deeper into the skin and affect the deeper dermis and subcutaneous layers, causing tightening and improvements to the underlying tissue structure. 

​

Radio frequency can be used on most areas of the body. There are some contra-indications for this treatment these will be discussed during consultation.
