Radio Frequency Skin Tightening
Radio frequency is an incredible alternative to invasive surgical methods to treat problems associated with ageing skin. From the age of early 20’s, the skins quality reduces as collagen production diminishes by approximately 1% each year. This natural ageing process leads to common problems of sagging skin on the neck, décolleté, face, body and wrinkles.
Radio frequency enables skin tightening and improvement of the skin’s appearance painlessly without post-operative downtime of classic surgery or other invasive methods. This non-invasive way of tightening loose or lax skin can be used on areas of the face and body. It is also a great way of reducing fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, improving skin tone and texture as well as dull skin.
Radio frequency (RF) uses electrical impulses to heat the skin and stimulate the collagen production subdermally and strengthen the skin structure. This method induces tissue remodelling through the production of collagen and elastin.

The key mechanisms and results of radio frequency:
Tissue Retraction: The generated heat causes local contraction of the collagen fibres, thereby immediately tightening the skin to remodel and rejuvenate the previous effects of ageing.
New Collagen Formation: The local fibroblasts stimulate the collagen formation by heating the dermis and it then acts as a new deep foundation for the skin. This produces further delayed tightening, which only becomes evident slowly over the next few months.
Improved Circulation: Radio frequency also improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage, thereby provides a better oxygen supply and greater toxin clearance.
