RADIO FREQUENCY
WHAT IS RF TREATMENT AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
RF treatment is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure that uses the energy of radiofrequency waves to heat subcutaneous dermal tissue. The generated heat stimulates the production of collagen and helps to tighten and improve the external structure of the skin. During the treatment, a handheld applicator that emits RF waves is used to treat the areas around the neck and jawline that need resurfacing.
HOW LONG DOES THE RF TREATMENT LAST?
RF treatment is a quick procedure that can be performed at any time of the day. Usually, the treatment time varies from 20 to 70 minutes.
DOES RF TREATMENT HURT?
RF treatment may cause a warm sensation on the skin, but the pain is minimal. Most patients report a tolerable warm sensation, but if the discomfort is too severe, an anesthetic gel may be applied to reduce sensitivity.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
The number of treatments needed to obtain optimal results varies according to the objective of each patient. We normally recommend a course of 6 to 8 treatments to achieve optimal results.
WHEN CAN THE RESULTS OF THE RF TREATMENT BE SEEN?
The results of RF treatment are usually visible from the second or third treatment. As collagen levels increase and skin tightens, patients notice firmer, smoother skin. Most patients report a significant improvement in the appearance of the skin after just a few treatments.
WHO ARE GOOD CANDIDATES FOR RF TREATMENT?
RF treatment is suitable for people looking to improve the appearance of their skin without the need for invasive surgery. The treatment is safe and effective for patients of all ages and skin types.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF RF TREATMENT?
RF treatment is an excellent option to treat the signs of aging on the skin. Some of the benefits include:

- Reduction of the appearance of double chin.
- Improvement of skin elasticity.
- Improvement of the general appearance of the skin.
- Elevation of the eyebrows and eyelids.
- Skin filler.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF RF TREATMENT?
RF treatment is safe and non-invasive. Side effects are minimal, but some patients may experience redness and sensitivity of the treated skin. These side effects usually go away in a few hours.
HOW LONG DO THE RESULTS OF RF TREATMENT LAST?
