Radio Frequency Therapy

New – a machine for the aesthetic treatment of wrinkles and loose skin using radio frequency technology.

How does the machine work?

High megahertz electric and magnetic waves penetrate through the epidermis and reach the cutis which contains high amounts of collagen. The pervading waves cause water molecules to vibrate making heat, which influences the collagen fibres and cause them to shrink. New collagen fibres are produced creating a tighter skin. Most commonly treated areas are: imperfections on the face including loose chin and neck, and tightening the skin on arms, belly and buttocks.

What happens during the procedure?

The treatment lasts about 10 to 15 minutes and is absolutely painless. You may feel a slight tingling sensation. The head of the machine is placed on the treated area. Through this contact, the radio frequency energy is transmitted into the skin.

What to do after the procedure?

No special precautions are necessary other than keeping the skin properly hydrated. You may go home immediately after the treatment and do whatever you want. A small percentage of patients experience reddening in the treated area, but this will disappear in a few hours.

How often should you repeat this procedure?

The optimal schedule is 8 to 10 sessions, with one week in between each treatment. No special preparations are needed and the procedure can be performed any time of the year. The complete therapy can be repeated 1 to 2 times a year.
