Radiofrequency skin tightening treatment, is a nonsurgical method that tightens your skin and reduces cellulite. The procedure involves using energy waves to heat the deep layer of your skin known as your dermis. This heat stimulates the production of collagen, which is the most abundant protein in your body. It creates the framework of your skin and gives your skin its firmness. As you age, your cells produce less collagen, which leads to sagging skin and wrinkles. RF waves heats up to between 50–75°C. This heat causes your body to release heat-shock proteins. These proteins stimulate your body to create new collagen fibers. The procedure normally takes less than an hour and is painless.

Once you have arrived at your appointment, your therapist will apply a gel to the targeted area while you lie down comfortably, she will then take the RF handle that will be displaying a red light and move it across the targeted area. You will experience a warm sensation where the handle is working.

You will see results between 3-6 months after your last appointment as your collagen may take a while to be produced. The amount of appointments needed will depend on the severity of your concern.

Preparing for your appointment:

There is no preparation required for this treatment just, like we always say, make sure that you’re hydrated in order for your cells to function properly in order for them to produce as much protein as possible.

Post appointment:

This procedure is completely pain-free and will not require any downtime, you will be able to go about your day as usual after your appointment.
