What is Radio Frequency Skin Tightening? Radio frequency skin tightening is a painless, non-surgical, non-invasive treatment option for clients who want to treat wrinkles, sagging skin, cellulite and other signs of aging. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy on the skin, heating up the various skin layers to stimulate collagen production, which smooths and lifts the skin’s surface. This procedure requires no incisions to be made in the skin and has a low instance of side effects. Radio frequency skin tightening is a viable procedure for many people whose skin has not reacted favorably to laser or thermal treatments in the past. Radio frequency skin tightening is suitable for all skin types. RF Skin Tightening is recommended for treatment of the face, where it reduces the appearance of brow lines, crow's feet, and nasolabial lines (laugh lines), tones cheek muscles, plumps lips, lifts jowls, chin and neck, and minimizes under eye bags & dark circles. It can also be used on the body to reduce cellulite, as well as tightening and toning sagging skin. RF Skin Tightening has no recovery time; clients can typically return to work and resume normal activities on the same day. RF Skin Tightening Before and After Care: To achieve optimal and long-lasting results, it is highly recommended that you follow your technician’s advice for home skin care before and after treatment. A mild exfoliation scrub prior to RF Skin Tightening will prepare your skin to get maximum results. Most clients experience mild heat and redness following treatment as the RF energy heats the skin to cause retraction of the collagen fibers. While this resolves quickly, it is important not to cool it immediately afterwards as the mild inflammation encourages results. Drinking plenty of water promotes healthy skin, and taking a collagen peptide supplement may help to promote collagen regeneration. You may wear a mineral based foundation to conceal any redness. Use sunscreen with a rating of SPF-30 or higher. Avoid lengthy exposure to the sun for 24 hours. Swelling rarely occurs and usually diminishes within 24-48 hours. |
