Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

FAQ for Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

• What areas can be treated?

  The lower face, jawline and neck can benefit from the skin tightening and sculpting
  effects. Thicker, heavier tissues are best suited, for example when there is a jowl of
  small deposits of submental fat.

• How does it work?

  Radiofrequency energy is painlessly delivered to the deep dermis and subcutaneous
  tissues. A course of treatment is required to attain a progressive result as skin
  tightens and underlying fat pockets are sculpted.

• What happens during treatment?

  Glycerine is applied to the skin to help conduct the energy through the surface of
  the skin to reach the dermis and subcutaneous layers. The treatment is very
  comfortable and relaxing, feeling a little like a hot stone massage with warm, flowing
  movements. A laser thermometer is used to monitor skin temperature throughout
  treatment with the aim to heat underlying tissues whilst keeping the skin
  comfortable.

• What happens following treatment?

  There is no recovery time and you may immediately resume normal activities. Skin
  may appear slightly red for up to 30 minutes.

• What results can I expect?

  Treated areas will look immediately tightened, although this effect is a temporary
  teaser. Treatments are delivered every week, but it actually takes approximately 3
  weeks after each session for new collagen formation to tighten the tissues for a
  longer-term result, during which time fat is also reabsorbed.
