Radio Frequency
Radio frequency (RF) energy treatment is a non-surgical tightening technology which treats the early signs of loose or sagging skin.
Treats the early signs of loose or sagging skin
As we age our collagen production decreases, so by the time we reach our mid 40s it is barely in production (naturally). Due to a lack of collagen, we find that there is a lack of elasticity and that the skin starts to sag forming lines and wrinkles. Radio Frequency (RF) stimulates the water molecules within the lower levels of the skin. When the tissue temperature increases it stimulates the lower layers to immediately contract and stimulate the collagen and elastin fibres creating a lifting and tightening of the skin. It is best suited to patients with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues. The RF rejuvenation treatment offers a non-invasive painless treatment with no downtime. Although you will see an instant result, it takes time for the collagen to remodel itself, therefore results can be accumulative. Radio frequency is effective for treating all skin types and skin colour. When combined with other treatment modalities and techniques we can achieve enhanced results.

Radio frequency treatments are most effective when taken as a course of 4 to 6 sessions scheduled a week apart. The cumulative effects of these treatments lead to enhanced results. Stand-alone treatments are only recommended as part of a maintenance program or as an add-on to other specialised treatments. This ensures optimal results and complements your overall skincare regime.

Following Tripollar or Bipolar Radio Frequency treatment
Due to the existing heat buildup within the skin post-Tripollar or Bipolar Radio Frequency treatment, for the next 24 hours it is essential to avoid certain activities to prevent skin irritation. Please refrain from hot showers, saunas, intense exercise, and direct sun exposure during this period. Instead, focus on staying hydrated and only use gentle skincare products.
