As we age, production of collagen decreases, leading to loose skin. RF therapy uses heat energy applied directly to the dermis layer of skin for facial rejuvenation by tightening tissue and increasing collagen levels for full facial revitalization.
Thermage RF utilizes safe, low level electromagnetic energy to heat deeper layers of skin while leaving its outermost layer undamaged – making this procedure suitable for most skin types and tones.
RF Skin Tightening
RF Skin Tightening is a non-invasive solution for loose skin that utilizes radio frequency energy to heat deeper layers where collagen production has decreased, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and helping individuals reduce skin laxity without surgery or face lifts. It’s ideal for individuals seeking ways to address laxity without going under the knife for cosmetic procedures such as face lifts.
Results from radio frequency skin tightening tend to be gradual and appear over several months as new collagen continues its work on your skin, producing plumper, firmer and tighter tissue that reduces fine lines and wrinkles as well as stretch marks. Furthermore, this technique is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types.
How long the results of RF skin tightening last will depend on how often you maintain them; for most patients, however, the effects continue to improve over time. It is recommended to schedule multiple RF treatments until desired results have been attained before setting up a regular maintenance treatment schedule.
At first, a practitioner will cleanse and prepare your skin before using a handheld device to gently move over its surface. This may result in some slight redness or irritation which will dissipate within several hours.
Forma’s Smart Radio Frequency technology monitors your skin temperature constantly to make sure that it does not surpass 41 to 43 degrees Celsius, ideal for rebuilding collagen and elastin to prevent damage to the skin. Forma stands apart from Fractora and Morpheus8 because it does not use perforation or ablation technology to do its work.
As part of an RF skin tightening treatment, you may experience a warm sensation similar to receiving a hot stone massage in the area where treatment was conducted. This is normal since the energy from RF energy works to penetrate deep layers of your skin and stimulate the formation of new collagen.
Once treatment has been administered, it is crucial to protect your skin by applying sunscreen and moisturizing with moisturizing serum. You should also refrain from engaging in vigorous physical activities or sauna sessions right after having an RF skin tightening treatment done and be wary of using exfoliation products as this could disrupt new collagen formation.
RF Skin Resurfacing
RF skin resurfacing works by heating deep layers of your skin to between 122-167 degrees Fahrenheit (50-75 degrees Celsius). When your tissues remain at this temperature for more than three minutes, heat shock proteins released by your body trigger collagen production to kick into high gear – giving your tissues strength, structure, and elasticity. Tightening skin using RF rejuvenation can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, smooth stretch marks, tighten laxity in your face or neck area and shrink enlarged pores for a refined, youthful appearance.
RF skin resurfacing treatments tend to have minimal side effects compared to laser treatments that may cause significant redness or swelling, such as reddening and swelling. You may experience pinkness or tenderness after treatment but these side effects typically subside within days.
Candela offers state-of-the-art bi-polar radio frequency energy treatments using an innovative device with a wand-like applicator to target tissue beneath your skin with bipolar radio frequency energy, using bi-polar radio frequency energy that heats the tissue before inducing coagulation for tighter, firmer skin with more refined complexions. Our RF facial treatments employ these cutting edge devices as part of their revolutionary healing solution for facial rejuvenation treatments that can leave patients looking more youthful than ever!
RF energy can penetrate through your epidermis to the deeper tissue layers beneath, stimulating collagen production for improved skin texture. This treatment may also help diminish acne scarring as well as reduce enlarged pores or discolorations from sun damage.
Another advantage of radio frequency (RF) treatment is that it works well on most skin tones, from light to dark. Patients with darker skin tones often shy away from laser treatments due to fears of hyperpigmentation; however, since RF treatments are melanin-blind they’re an ideal option for all.

RF Fat Reduction
Radio frequency energy can be used to effectively and safely reduce facial fat deposits and tone the skin, making this procedure suitable for patients with mild to moderate skin laxity who seek non-invasive solutions for tightening up the face and jawline. Collagen production increases, leading to improved elasticity and firmness as well as lessening fine lines and wrinkles while improving tone overall.
Radio frequency technology employs an electromagnetic field to heat deep layers of skin without impacting on its outer layers, such as epidermis. This occurs due to dermis and subcutaneous fat tissue having higher resistance or impedance compared to epidermis, making the electric current turn into thermal energy, heating deep layers of skin while stimulating collagen fibers contract, leading to immediate skin tightening effects.
Heat produced by radio frequency treatments can help boost cellular metabolism and circulation, improving skin texture and appearance. When combined with microneedling, radio frequency treatments can also reduce pores, scars, and uneven skin tone. Ideal candidates for these treatments are those who have mild to moderate skin laxity that has not undergone surgical facelifting; those suffering from severe acne, rosacea, psoriasis or any chronic skin disease should avoid receiving radio frequency treatments as this could make treatment ineffective.
There are various types of radio frequency (RF) treatments on the market, some reaching deeper into skin than others. One popular technique is monopolar RF therapy which uses one electrode to transmit energy directly into dermis and subcutaneous fat layers. Most modern RF devices also come equipped with cooling systems to prevent overheating or skin damage from overexposure to energy.
RF therapy differs from surgical facelifts in that it’s non-invasive and poses minimal risk of side effects. Treatment will likely require multiple sessions before visible results become evident, making this therapy an excellent way to reverse signs of aging and enhance self-image.
RF Microneedling
Radio frequency energy combined with microneedling can address many skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars and tightening loose skin on both the face and body. Furthermore, it helps smooth out “barcode” lines above lips that make people appear older than they actually are, as well as that extra bit of flab under arms.
Radiofrequency energy released from this device heats the dermis and stimulates collagen production, leading to skin tightening. It may benefit clients with mild to moderate skin laxity as well as those who have undergone cosmetic surgeries like facelifts. Furthermore, hyperhidrosis treatment may even prove effective for excessive sweating cases.
At a RF microneedling treatment, the practitioner applies conductive gel to the skin before using an handheld device with 24 coated pins to penetrate it, breaking up fat deposits while contracting connective tissues and bulk heating the area being treated. Modern monopolar RF devices feature cooling systems designed to prevent overheating risks.
Once a treatment has been completed, the practitioner will gently wipe away any leftover conductive gel and cool down your skin. While you may feel some mildly uncomfortable sensations from needles during their application, overall your experience should be pleasant. Usually multiple sessions are necessary in order to achieve optimal results.
Radiofrequency microneedling not only increases collagen production, but it can also stimulate fibroblast cells to enhance blood circulation and skin health. Therefore, staying hydrated in the days prior to treatment will ensure maximum benefits from it.
