The
radiofrequency (RF) energy uniformly
heats the dermis while cooling and
protecting the epidermis. It is
designed to cause immediate
collagen
contraction followed by new collagen
production which occurs over a
period of time. The RF procedure is
the only non-invasive method to
tighten loose skin.
Due to normal
aging process, the skin begins to sag and
wrinkle.
RF technology
safely heats skin’s underlayer and the web of
collagen in the inner layer, causing an
immediate tightening.
The tone and
texture of skin is improved due to new collagen
growth.
What does a
RF Procedure feel like?
This is a no pain, no down time
treatment. Treatment feels
like a cooling massage. There is an immediate cool
sensation, followed by a warm sensation.
Occasionally, there could be a
static sensation.
How long will
the RF Procedure take?
Depending on the size of the
area treated, the procedure
itself may take anywhere
from 30 minutes to an hour.
Typically, facial treatments
take one hour.
When can I
return to my normal activities?
You may return to your normal
activities immediately, as there is
usually no "downtime". Minimal
redness is seen in some patients but
it usually disappears shortly after
treatment. Heat-related
complications can occur but are
uncommon. There is no special care
needed after treatment. As a part of
good skin care, sunscreen is
recommended.
When will I
see results?
You may
start seeing some results
immediately after treatment. Most
significant results will be seen
after 3-4 treatments.
RF treatments can:
*Tighten skin and decrease deeper winkles.
*Stimulate collagen cells.
*Tighten large pores.
*Reshape the face outlines and produce some
degree of a lift.
*Rebuild body figure.
How many
treatments will I need?
A
single treatment has produced good
results in a significant number of
patients. However, your doctor will
assess the number and frequency of
treatments required to achieve
optimal results for your skin.
How long will
the effects of the RF procedure
last?
Recently published studies show that
improvements continue for at least
six months after a single treatment
session. Other studies show that
thermal collagen changes can last
two years, depending on the rate
of the aging process.
