The radiofrequency facial for skin tightening - how does it work?
Written by:A radiofrequency facelift, or a radiofrequency facial, is an aesthetic treatment, almost as highly demanded as Botox, thanks to the great results it achieves in facial tightening and body remodelling, without needles or a scalpel. The procedure is renowned for its skin tightening, which leaves patients noticing a very visible difference after the radiofrequency facelift.
What is a radiofrequency facial?
The most advanced radiofrequency (rf) lifting equipment tightens the skin and enables remodelling with desirable results from a single session. It is ideal for people who either don’t want or don’t believe they are old enough to have a surgical procedure. It does not require needles or a scalpel, does not leave scars, and overall is a pain-free procedure. It considerably improves the general texture of the skin, further slowing down the ageing process over the following years.
How radiofrequency facial rejuvenation works on the skin:
The treatment uses a technology that heats layers of the skin stimulating the synthesis of collagen by providing a great intensity of heat in the deeper layers of the skin. During a radiofrequency facelift, the production of collagen and elastin is stimulated. In this way, you can “rearrange” the face that has lost smoothness, tightening wrinkled, parched and flaccid skin.
The results of a radiofrequency facelift:
- Firmer skin
- Skin tightening
- Reduced nasolabial grooves
- Raises drooping eyelids
- Blurs and smoothens expression lines (e.g. fine wrinkles and crow’s feet)
- Reduces the appearance of cellulite
Other areas of the body that radiofrequency lifting can be applied to:
- Abdomen
- Thighs
- Buttocks
- Knees
- Arms
- All skin types
Side-effects of radiofrequency facelifts:
Radiofrequency lifting has no side-effects. The treatment has the nickname “lunchtime facelift” because after each session the patient can follow a normal daily routine, unlike the effects associated with anaesthesia. It can be done any time of the year and it is not necessary to avoid sun exposure.
How many radiofrequency facelift sessions are needed to maintain results?
Just one. The post-treatment lifting effect is noticeable after the first session and 80% of results can be seen for up to two years, but this varies between patients. This can be even longer for treatments carried out on the body.
How often do I need a radiofrequency facelift for skin tightening?
The effects of a radiofrequency facelift can last for up to two years.
