WHAT IS RADIO FREQUENCY?

 

Radio Frequency gives exceptional skin tightening results for those areas that can’t be targeted at the gym. Gentle waves of radio frequency are passed into the skin, creating comfortable heat in the lower layers. This heat kickstarts the skin functions which slow down with age, effectively making the skin behave as if it were younger. This leads to a tightening of elastin fibers, more collagen production which continues long after the treatment has ended and increased turnover of skin cells.

​

WHAT CAN BE TREATED?

​

  • Eyes/dark circles /crows feet

  • Double chins /sagging jowls

  • Neck and décolletage /crepey skin

  • Inner /outer thighs

  • Tummy /mum tum /post weight loss

  • Buttocks 

  • Stubborn adipose tissue /cellulite

  • Arms /bingo wings

  • Ageing hands

  • Any area that requires tightening or firming

 

WHO CAN HAVE THE TREATMENT?

 

All skin types, ages ranging from in 20’s to 80’s! There are some conditions that will stop you from having the treatment (please refer to our consultation for some exclusions).

 

WHAT IMPROVEMENTS CAN BE SEEN?

 

You will notice  all of the following:

​

  • Skin tightening 

  • Firmer and more toned

  • Reduced pores

  • Radiant skin tone

  • Lifted appearance

  • Smoother texture

  • Nose to mouth lines (nasal labial) folds

  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles

  • Smoothed out /improved scarring

​

HOW MANY TREATMENTS UNTIL A DIFFERENCE CAN BE NOTICED?

 

Clients will often see and feel a change in skin texture after a single treatment. 

 

However, we do recommend a course of 6‐10 treatments. Ideally 1 treatment a week. No longer than 2 weeks between treatments. Skin tightening will continue to work for up to 12 weeks post treatment and when the course is completed the effect can last for up to a year, though we would suggest maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 weeks. Booster courses recommended yearly if required.

 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

 

Throughout the treatment the skin is heated to between 38 to 40 °C which will feel like a hot stone massage. The RF energy is directed onto the skin through a layer of Grapeseed oil which is applied before treatment. Radiofrequency energy causes friction as it passes through the dermal layers, this evolves into heat energy. The heat energy being delivered to the lower layers is absorbed by many water molecules that begin to vibrate causing additional frictional heat. This friction /heat is recognised as induced thermal trauma, which will kick start the skins’ natural healing response, (without causing physical damage) kick starting fibroblastic activity and basal cell production.
