What is RF Skin tightening?
RF (radiofrequency) skin tightening is a noninvasive procedure designed to help give you tighter and younger-looking skin. This is done by inducing the natural production of collagen and elastin within your skin. This nonsurgical procedure uses RF energy to help enhance the appearance of your skin. RF skin tightening is ideal for individuals who want to combat signs of aging, such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and more.
How does RF skin tightening work?
This procedure uses RF energy to heat up the skin, which, in turn, promotes the production of collagen and elastin within your skin. These can help to improve the look of your wrinkles, sagging skin, and more. RF skin tightening is a procedure that takes between 30 – 60 minutes, depending on your specific treatment plan. Most patients report that while there is a mild warming or tingling sensation, the procedure is not painful.
What should I know about RF skin tightening?
After your RF skin tightening procedure, you are free to return to your normal daily activities. The treated areas may become slightly inflamed or red, but this should go away on its own fairly quickly. Your results should begin to appear and reach their optimal results after a few months. This is a safe and effective treatment to help tighten your skin and give you a non-surgical face lift.
