RF (Radio Frequency) gives amazing skin tightening & lifting results. Gentle waves of radio frequency are passed into the skin, consequently creating comfortable heat in the lower layers. This heat kickstarts the skin functions which slow down with age, effectively making the skin behave as if it were younger. This leads to a tightening of elastin fibers, more collagen production which continues long after the treatment has ended and increased turnover of skin cells. Pressotherapy Lymphatic Drainage included free with all RF treatments for a limited time.
Areas Treated with RF?
– Eyes/dark circles/crow’s feet
– Double Chins / sagging jowls
-Neck & Decolletage/ crepey skin
-Inner/Outer thighs/tummy/buttocks/arms/bingo wings
-Any area that requires tightening or firming
(please refer to our contraindications for some exclusions)
HOW MANY TREATMENTS?
Clients will often see and feel a change in skin texture after a single treatment. Still 6‐10 treatments is recommended , one treatment a week. Skin tightening will continue to work for up to 12 weeks post treatment and
additionally results can be seen for up to a year,
maintenance treatments every 4‐6 week. Booster courses recommended yearly if required.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The skin is heated to between 38 to 40 °C, which will feel like a hot stone massage. Radiofrequency energy causes friction as it passes through the dermal layers, this evolves into heat energy. The heat being delivered to the lower layers is absorbed by water molecules that begin to vibrate causing additional frictional heat because this friction/ heat is recognised as induced thermal trauma, which will kick start the skins’ natural healing response, (without causing physical damage) and especially kick starting fibroblastic activity and basal cell production.
