Radio Frequency is a quick, comfortable treatment, with zero downtime, and no scars. This non-surgical skin tightening treatment has become a popular way for patients to enhance their appearance and self-confidence without taking time for surgery and recovery.

Radio Frequency has been used for non-surgical skin tightening since 2001; however, it has only recently gained widespread recognition, thanks to high-profile celebrities who rave about the benefits of their RF treatments.

How Does Radio Frequency Tighten Skin?

Like any form of energy, RF has the capacity to produce heat, it works by heating the skin’s deeper layers to induce new collagen and elastin production and encourage cell turnover, helping skin become firmer, thicker and more youthful-looking.

An advantage of using RF to heat tissues, as opposed to lasers (which use higher-frequency light waves), is that the lower frequency of RF can safely penetrate to a deeper level, helping to improve skin tone and structure, even lifting tissues. Lasers for the most part work to improve the skin’s surface. Moreover, RF can safely treat more patients with different skin tones without risking permanent discoloration.
