RADIO FREQUENCY SKIN TIGHTENING

FAQ

​

​

​

How does Radio Frequency Skin Tightening work? 
Radio frequency (RF) technology represents a new frontier for treatment of lax skin, fine lines, wrinkles and cellulite. Our treatments use Bipolar, Tripolar and Multipolar radio frequency technologies to tighten both the very superficial layers of the skin and the skin’s sub-dermal layer. The result is skin firming, new collagen production and increased blood circulation, all of which provides lifting and tightening effects. You may notice a change in your skin that will appear after the first treatment and will become more drastic after the fourth treatment and will continue to improve for weeks to come. Lax skin will be firmer and more toned, healthier and younger looking, while wrinkles and fine lines will be reduced.

What does the Radio Frequency Skin Tightening procedure involve? 
The treatment takes about 20 to 45 minutes depending on which areas are being treated. The client experiences a sensation of warmth over targeted areas as the hand piece is slowly rotated over the skin gently heating the dermis.

 

Is There A Recovery TimeAfter The Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Procedure? 
Radio frequency skin tightening is mainly popular due to its high efficacy and no recovery time. Your skin may remain slightly pink for 30 to 60 minutes after the procedure. Your skin may also feel dry for 24 to 48 hours after the treatment, but clients may return to their

normal daily routine immediately.

 

How Many Treatments Will I Need? 
We recommend a series of  eight Radio Frequency Skin Tightening treatments, approximately two treatments a week. The results from each treatment are cumulative, long lasting and will continue improving for several months!The sessions can be performed throughout the year, even during summer, as there is no photo-sensitivity problem. Treatments are priced accordingly by area with single session or package sessions available.

 

On Which Parts Of My Body Will I Benefit Most From Radio Frequency Skin Tightening?

Cellulite treatment will be combined with a vacuuming procedure which aides lymphatic drainage.The most common treatments of the face are for aging.
