Radio Therapy

What is Radio frequency skin tightening treatment?

Radio frequency skin firming treatments use clinically proven devices that deliver short pulses of energy to rejuvenate existing dermal tissue, and at the same time stimulates new collagen and elastin production in the body, which helps to tighten and improve the texture and appearance of the skin’s surface and supporting structure.

Does radio frequency tighten skin? Yes, it does! This skin-safe energy works like magic to boost the natural production of skin firming elastin and collagen fibres, as well it causes subdermal tissues to tighten and contract, making the skin stronger and smoother again. Radio frequency skin treatments also offer the bonus of having no downtime; it really is one of the easiest treatments to experience.

How Does Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Work?

During a RF energy treatment, short pulses of energy flow from a RF device into the skin, gently and safely heating the subdermal tissues, triggering the production of collagen and elastin, as well as an increase in the body’s natural hyaluronic acid production (hyaluronic acid is excellent at skin plumping!).

Can radio frequency tighten skin?

 Indeed, it can! As a result of the skin-safe radio frequency energy, your body responds by making strong new fibrous tissue to support and firm the skin, and collagen fibres become shorter and more tense, therefore making your skin tighter in the treatment area!

Radio frequency skin firming is an effective anti-ageing cosmetic treatment that women and men use to tighten their skin, therefore improving body contours and achieving a more youthful appearance. With age, our skin loses elasticity, which can lead to:

• Sagging cheeks and jowls
• Eye and eyebrow droop
• Double chin
• Turkey neck
• Saggy cleavage
• Puckered elbows and knees
• Loose tummy skin
• Bum sagging 
• Deep wrinkles and skin folds

A non-surgical, non-invasive solution to these common face and body concerns is radio frequency technology, which can address a multitude of skincare conditions related to ageing, as well as cellulite, skin laxity, and sun damage.

Radio frequency skin tightening ‘pros’ include: 

• Better skin tone and texture
• Increased collagen production
• Less saggy skin
• Loose skin is tighter.
• Instant face lifting
• Cellulite reduction
• Smoother skin
• Better skin elasticity 
• Improved body contouring 
• Natural hyaluronic acid production
• Fat reduction

Compared to the cost of a facelift or surgical removal of excess skin to achieve tighter skin, radio frequency skin tightening treatments are more affordable, and as mentioned, doesn’t involve any downtime or recovery time.

How long to see results from radio frequency skin tightening? 

Because it takes time for your skin to produce new elastin and collagen fibres, it can take about 2-6 months to see results, and much will depend on the treatment area and your goals. On average, you should see changes to your skin tone and texture within two to six months.
