Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency Treatment for Youthful Appearance

With this treatment, radio waves penetrate the outer skin layers, delivering heat energy to the deep dermal layers. This heat stimulates collagen production and that, in turn, triggers tissue contraction. The overall result is tighter, brighter skin and a significant reduction in sags and wrinkles. Radiofrequency energy is primarily used to treat skin laxity through facial tightening, but it also improves skin tone and texture. The original collagen proteins become stronger to increase the production of new collagen proteins. 

Because RF is non-invasive, there is no downtime or recovery. Results are immediately noticeable, and they become even more so in the weeks following the treatment as the build-up of collagen stimulates further skin contraction.

Effects

1. Immediately shortens existing collagen fibers, thereby creating an immediate skin tightening/lifting  effect.   
2. Stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin fibers, thus triggering a separate skin tightening effect.  
3. Stimulates and damages adipocytes (fat cells) to release fat into the bloodstream (adipocytes are very fragile in comparison to fibroblasts or other tissue cells).
