RADIO FREQUENCY SKIN TIGHTENING

Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Tightening is an effective treatment for addressing skin laxity on the face and body and is commonly used for non-surgical face and body lifts such as under eye bags, neck, jowls, buttocks, décolleté firming, breast lift, brazilian butt lift, medial knee region and postnatal tummy tightening.

During an RF Skin Tightening treatment the temperature in the sub dermal layers of the skin increases, causing shortening (tightening) of the collagen fibres and stimulating new collagen development. The results are immediately noticeable, becoming even more so in the weeks following the treatment as the build-up of collagen effects further skin contraction.

​

During treatment, the handpiece slowly rotates over the targeted area transmitting radio waves through the upper layers of the skin to the dermis – heating the dermis to between 39 and 46 degrees Celsius without harm to surrounding tissue. During treatment you will feel a warm-hot sensation, similar to a hot stone massage!

PRE & POST CARE INFORMATION

To ensure the body responds well to RF at least 2 litres of water should be consumed over a 24 hour period prior to the treatment and after to ensure body is well hydrated. Any deep peels should be avoided a week prior to and a week following your treatment. RF heats the skin to cause retraction of the collagen fibres, so it is important not to cool it immediately afterwards as the inflammation encourages results. An SPF 30+ should be applied immediately following your treatment and reapplied as necessary over the next 72hrs.
To achieve optimal and long lasting results it is highly recommended to invest in a good skincare range or one you trust as this will help prolong your results and less maintenance will be required.

    4 - 6 treatments are recommended for maximum results at 2 - 4 week intervals.
