Radiofrequency or RF skin tightening treatment is an innovative therapy that uses radiofrequency electromagnetic waves (energy waves in the range of about 3 kHz to 300 GHz) to stimulate collagen development deep within the dermal layers of the skin. Radiofrequency re-structures contracts existing collagen and stimulates fresh collagen production to give noticeable yet natural results. Clients benefit from healthier, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
The use of electrical currents and other energy waveforms for medical purposes has been documented for over 100 years. Technology has come a long way, especially in recent years, though the basic principles are the same. Non-ablative radiofrequency energy is the newest addition to the treatment options available for skin tightening, cellulite, and fat reduction. It is now possible to deliver RF energy to the deep dermal and subdermal layers of the skin while protecting the epidermis (outer layer). Heating the dermal and subdermal layers of the skin causes microscopic changes to the tissues and collagen contraction, with subsequent collagen remodeling over the months that follow.
The unique combination of processes involved in RF skin tightening provides both an immediate uplifting effect, followed by further longer-term skin tightening, restructuring, and rejuvenating benefits.
Radiofrequency also gives deep, controlled heating of the fatty layers under the skin, which means that superficial fatty deposits can be broken down and drained through the lymphatic system, reducing the appearance of cellulite.
