Radiofrequency & Skin Tightening
What do Radiofrequency & Skin Tightening achieve?
Radiofrequency skin tightening is a non–invasive cosmetic procedure used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. It works by using radio waves to heat the deeper layers of the skin, causing the skin to contract and produce new collagen. This collagen helps to give the skin a firmer, more youthful appearance.
The
procedure typically takes between 30-90 minutes, depending on the size and area of treatment. During the procedure, the patient is given a topical anesthetic to reduce any discomfort. The skin is then treated with a handheld device that emits radio waves to the area.
The heat from the radio waves causes the collagen fibers in the skin to contract, which tightens the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and sagging. After the procedure, patients may experience some redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area. These should subside within a couple of days. Results can be seen almost immediately, with continued improvements seen over the course of several months.
