Radio-frequency treatment involves heating the skin using electromagnetic radio waves.
What it does:
- Radio frequency works by encouraging skin renewal, collagen production, and breaking down fat cells.
- It’s great for softening fine lines, as well as lifting the cheeks, and tightening the jawline, so it’s great for age prevention.
- Used as a treatment for cellulite, firming and contouring the body.
What to expect during the procedure:
- The following steps are followed: (1) Cleaning of the area that is being treated, (2) application of cool gel onto the skin; and (3) gliding of the device along the treatment area repeatedly.
- How it will feel: Like a hot stone face massage! During the treatment a machine is used to heat the skin to 38-40 degrees with radiofrequency – patients do feel the heat on the skin but it’s comfortable.
What to expect after the treatment?
- The treated skin will be slightly red due to the warmth but it will dissipate within an hour.
- Patients can easily have a treatment at lunchtime and go out that evening looking amazing.
How many treatments are needed before results become visible?
- Multiple treatments are required for desired results.
