RADIOFREQUENCY SKIN TIGHTENING
What is Radiofrequency Skin Tightening?
Radiofrequency (RF) therapy, also called radiofrequency skin tightening, is a nonsurgical method of tightening your skin.
The procedure involves using energy waves to heat the deep layer of your skin known as your dermis. RF waves heat the deep layer of your skin to between 122 and 167°F (50–75°C).
Studies have found that maintaining a temperature over 115°F (46°C) for over 3 minutes causes your body to release heat-shock proteins. These proteins stimulate your body to create new collagen fibres.
The procedure normally takes 30 mins and should be nearly painless.
Combining RF with Microneedling
Combine microneedling and radiofrequency together to rejuvenate lacklustre skin by supercharging collagen and elastin production. Radiofrequency (RF) creates controlled thermal injury which stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the deep layer of the skin (dermis). When you combine the two treatments together and you have a dual effect on the tissue to target a whole host of textural and ageing concerns such as acne scars, skin laxity, open and enlarged pores.
