RF Skin Tightning Treatment
How often should I get RF treatment?
The more consistent your treatment is, the better and quicker your results will be. For most patients, the ideal treatment frequency for RF microneedling is once every four to six weeks. The frequency of your treatment will depend on factors such as your age and your exact aesthetic concerns.
What is RF in dermatology?
Objective: Radiofrequency (RF) is novel nonablative technology originally used to target photodamage. It differs from lasers in that it uses an electric current rather than a light source. It is frequently used in dermatology to treat skin laxity, rhytides, acne vulgaris and scarring, and cellulite.

What does RF do to your face?
RF therapy uses low energy radiation to heat the deep layer of your skin called the dermis. This heat stimulates the production of collagen to help improve signs of wrinkles and sagging skin. Research has found that RF therapy is usually safe and can be effective at treating mild or moderate signs of aging.
Does RF melt fat?
Absolutely! Radio Frequency can safely and effectively be used to melt fat or tighten loose skin on the stomach area without any pain or downtime depending on which hand-piece is used. To get the most out of your RF treatment, a course of treatments is usually recommended.
Can I wash my face after RF treatment?
Avoid washing your face with anything other than lukewarm water and gentle cleanser for 48 to 72 hours after the procedure. Avoid using makeup for at least 48 to 72 hours after the procedure.
Can radio frequency damage your skin?
As low-risk, convenient, and effective as they are, apply the same level of scrutiny in choosing a provider for non-surgical RF treatments as you would for cosmetic surgery. Like any concentrated dose of energy, RF carries a risk for burns if performed incorrectly.
What is the time taken for the procedure?
The complete procedure takes about 1 hour. The post treatment healing can take anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks.
Is RF safe?
Exposure to very high RF intensities can result in heating of biological tissue and an increase in body temperature. Tissue damage in humans could occur during exposure to high RF levels because of the body's inability to cope with or dissipate the excessive heat that could be generated.
