Our Radio Frequency skin tightening treatment is a non-surgical treatment to tighten up any slack, saggy, or wrinkled skin. This non-invasive treatment stimulates your skin’s own collagen production and using specially designed radio frequency (RF) technology heats the deeper layers of skin, tightening up any existing collagen fibres. Radio frequency skin tightening is ideal for individuals who have recently undergone weight loss and have slack or saggy skin.
Non-invasive Radio Frequency Skin Tightening treatments to make your skin firmer.
Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Benefits
Absorbed into the skin’s dermal tissues, Radio Frequency Skin Tightening energy causes the skin to contract following treatment and also stimulates your own collagen and elastin production. This provides long lasting firmness and improved skin texture. This non-invasive treatment provides immediate results and continued improvement over time. As with all of our body contouring treatments RF Skin Tightening can be used as part of a comprehensive body shaping program and is suitable for most skin types. It can be used to treat a variety of different areas of the body including the face, neck, arms, hands, abdomen and even the thighs.
During treatment, Radio Frequency energy heats up the skin and causes the skin to contract and tighten. In the following weeks and months, the effects are permanent as the skin continues to produce new collagen for up to 12 weeks after treatment. Stimulation of collagen production also helps to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and can even help to reduce the appearance of cellulite.
How long does Radio Frequency Skin Tightening last?
Results from the Radio Frequency Skin Tightening treatment can be seen within a few weeks as your skin starts to produce new collagen, with full results being achieved after a number of treatments. As the collagen in the existing fibres starts to tighten, your skin will start to look smoother and more toned.
The results of the treatment can last for several months and with regular treatments the effects can last even longer. Although the treatment cannot stop the signs of aging it can give skin a firmer look and feel. Regular treatments in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle and good skin care can help to maintain results. A course of treatments would be recommended by your practitioner to be followed to achieve best results.
How does Skin Tightening Radio Frequency work?
Radio Frequency Tightening uses controlled heat from radio frequency energy that is delivered deep into the skin in order to stimulate collagen production. The existing collagen in the skin is also tightened in order to give the skin a firmer appearance. This treatment does not require any form of surgery and can give smooth and toned skin over a period of time.
