Red light therapy offers a gentle solution for those with delicate skin. Unlike radiofrequency (RF), which produces heat, red light therapy does not cause any harm and makes the perfect option for people who may have photosensitive conditions or take medications that make their skin photosensitive.
This treatment utilizes visible red wavelengths that penetrate skin layers and stimulate cellular activity, helping reduce fine lines and wrinkles while stimulating collagen production, improving skin texture, muscle recovery and wound healing.
Acne Treatment
Though regular skin care can help limit breakouts, sometimes an extra boost may be required. High frequency facials are an effective solution for getting rid of stubborn blemishes and maintaining clear and healthy complexion.
Electrical currents gently stimulate the skin during treatment to increase blood circulation, clearing away impurities and bacteria in pores while simultaneously increasing collagen production to smooth away wrinkles and fine lines over time.
Low-level electricity can kill acne-causing bacteria, helping reduce inflammation and prevent future breakouts. High-frequency treatment is therefore ideal for those suffering with surface acne such as whiteheads and blackheads; additionally it may be used to address deeper, inflamed infections like cysts or nodules.
High-frequency facials offer additional advantages that include relieving other skin concerns such as dark circles or puffiness. Plus, it is safe for all skin types and requires no downtime – meaning you can quickly get back to life as normal!
High-frequency facials do require regular maintenance sessions in order to sustain their results, yet are an excellent option for tightening skin and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles without going under the knife.
Red light therapy offers an alternative, gentle yet non-invasive option that can smooth away wrinkles and brighten up your complexion over time. While not penetrating as deeply, red light therapy still plays a vital role in supporting collagen formation and firming the skin.
Considerations should be given when choosing between high-frequency or LED devices when making your selection, because their operation differs: radio waves targeted deep layers of skin for loose or sagging issues while light energy targets surface imperfections on surface imperfections – understanding these differences will allow you to select an ideal facial treatment device for yourself.

Skin Tightening
Skin tightening treatments can be applied to any area of the body with loose or sagging skin that’s most visible, using either energy to stimulate natural collagen production in the body or physical stimulation of the skin to tighten it gradually and naturally, producing firmer and younger-looking results over time. These procedures are non-invasive or minimally invasive and have minimal downtime; ideal for patients who want to improve their appearance without surgery or lengthy recovery periods.
Laser treatment, ultrasound therapy, radio frequency therapy and red light therapy are among the many available approaches to tightening skin. Each option may offer its own advantages and disadvantages depending on which area needs treating and personal goals are set forth by each patient.
Laser skin tightening uses infrared light to heat collagen beneath the surface of the skin and gradually cause it to contract, eventually producing more over time and producing an improvement in complexion. Unfortunately, this treatment may not be suitable for darker skin tones and tends to be less effective than full face lift.
Radio frequency treatment is another popular solution for skin tightening, using a handheld device to heat the skin up to 5mm deep and stimulate collagen production for an improved complexion. Radio frequency can also help address fine lines and wrinkles; however, results may take more sessions to appear than LED light therapy does.
HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) is one of the latest and cutting-edge non-invasive skin treatments, providing a luxurious experience with stunning results. Used to address various concerns ranging from loose skin on neck and jawline to stubborn fat pockets on thighs or abdomen, unlike most treatments which only target upper layers of skin (dermal layer and SMAS layer), which HIFU penetrates deeply to achieve significant lifting and tightening effects that surpass surgical facelifts.
At Kelamis Plastic Surgery, our mission is to assist patients in finding the best possible solutions to achieve their desired look. From non-invasive options like our facelift alternative procedure to intensive surgeries such as breast reductions or body lifts, we have all of the experience and resources necessary to meet each person’s unique needs.
Neck Rejuvenation
An aging neck can be frustratingly unattractive, with excess fat and loose skin contributing to a double chin and thick bands of muscle running along its length. While surgical options such as tightening can tighten these muscle bands for slimmer appearances, noninvasive options such as dermal fillers and lasers may also provide effective relief by reducing fatty tissue under the chin for more defined and youthful contouring while stimulating collagen production for tighter skin.
Radio frequency therapy offers more dramatic results for those seeking dramatic skin tightening and wrinkle smoothing, making it the ideal treatment option for weight loss or the effects of aging sagging of the neck, as well as “turkey wattle”.
Neck muscle bands can develop, making the neck appear vertical. Botox or Kybella injections are an effective solution to relaxing these muscle and smoothing out its appearance; regular treatments should be administered every 2-4 weeks for best results. They offer an affordable way of correcting an aged neck while complementing rejuvenation procedures as a cost-cutting measure.
For those suffering from moderate to severe neck sagging or who want to prevent further worsening of it, surgical intervention such as facelifting may be the way forward. When combined with liposuction to address laxity issues, the result can be enhanced significantly. Your physician will first review your medical history to assess if surgery is suitable, and may suggest stopping blood-thinners such as aspirin or heparin prior to undergoing any procedure. Make arrangements for transportation home and someone to stay with you the night after surgery as the anesthesia used during a facelift can make you drowsy. Smoking may promote wrinkled skin and delay healing time. Furthermore, delicate neck tissues require support from healthy tissues in order to heal effectively.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles are an inevitable result of growing old, yet they can be minimized with treatment. Fine lines and wrinkles result from collagen and elastin loss – structural proteins which give skin strength and flexibility – breaking down over time with sun exposure, ageing processes, repeated facial expressions such as smiling, frowning or squinting, as well as repeated smiling, frowning or squinting can all cause fine lines and wrinkles to form.
There are various non-surgical solutions that can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, including injectable treatments such as Botox or dermal fillers that temporarily paralyze muscles that would contract and form wrinkles, chemical peels that remove dead skin cells, microneedling that stimulates new collagen and elastin production via thousands of tiny pin pricks, as well as red light therapy.
All these treatments can help to diminish fine lines and wrinkles, but red light therapy offers an especially gentle solution that does not involve heating the surface of the skin – making it the ideal option for sensitive or reactive skin types. In fact, red light therapy devices are available at home so you can treat fine lines and wrinkles yourself without incurring high costs for spa sessions or store-purchased devices.
Lifestyle changes may also help prevent fine lines and wrinkles, including using sunscreen that offers both UVA and UVB ray protection; staying hydrated using moisturizers with hyaluronic acid to retain water; and limiting caffeine and alcohol consumption. Furthermore, prescription-strength retinoids may reduce fine lines and wrinkles as well as enhance overall skin tone and texture.
High frequency and red light therapy both offer great potential to improve skin tone, reduce discoloration, firm and tighten skin as well as minimize fine lines and wrinkles. However, it’s essential to evaluate each treatment according to your pain threshold, rest needs, financial resources and personal preferences before making your choice.
