If you want to enhance the tone, texture and firmness of your skin there are numerous treatments available – radio frequency facial tightening being one non-invasive rejuvenating option that has proven itself effective.
“Radiofrequency can help smooth red carpet skin by increasing oxygen levels and outlining facial contours, according to London facialist Abigail James. Additionally, it’s an effective alternative to injectable treatments.”
Lines and Wrinkles
As your skin ages, collagen proteins degrade, leading to wrinkles and lines that make you appear older than you really are. That is why many anti-ageing treatments focus on replenishing these proteins to stimulate new collagen growth and tighten skin for a more youthful look. Radio frequency treatment for facial rejuvenation has proven particularly successful as an instant and long-term solution for younger-looking, firmer skin.
RF therapy is a painless and noninvasive procedure that uses radiowave technology to heat deep layers of skin without harming its outer layers. Your body responds by producing new collagen in response to this heat source, creating tighter and firmer skin over time. This technique has proven itself successful at reducing fine lines and wrinkles, contouring body parts such as hips and waistlines, improving cellulite and stretch marks, as well as even helping reduce dry eye symptoms.
Researchers found monopolar radio frequency to be an effective treatment for facial skin laxity and the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, researchers discovered RF increased collagen types I and III production along with hyaluronic acid production to maintain skin elasticity; additionally RF tightening caused reorientation of elastic fibers within dermal matrix to replace any existing elastotic ones.
Radiofrequency therapy offers several other advantages over other anti-ageing techniques, including laser treatments and microneedling. RF treatment is safe to use on skin of all colors and textures and suitable for people with sensitive skin – and even safer than these alternatives such as laser treatments and microneedling!
As radiofrequency treatments don’t involve needles or scalpels, RF treatments tend to be less invasive. Before receiving radiofrequency therapy treatments, however, you will need to speak to a doctor, especially if taking blood-thinners or pregnant.
Though RF skin rejuvenation offers impressive benefits, it is important to remember that individual results will differ based on who is being treated and whether regular sessions are necessary to achieve your desired goals. Furthermore, you should engage in healthy lifestyle habits and practice sun protection for maximum longevity of results.
Acne Scarring
Acne scarring can have a devastating impact on both the appearance and texture of skin. It often results from severe acne attacks that leave behind nodules or cysts which burst and leave damage behind in their wake, but scarring can also occur from picking or squeezing spots; although permanent, acne scars may improve over time or with treatment.
There are various types of acne scars, and each requires its own approach for treating. Most treatments aim to fade scars into their surroundings to lessen their prominence and enhance overall facial aesthetic. A dermatologist will be able to recommend an ideal course of treatment tailored specifically for you depending on your skin type and desired outcomes.
Hypertrophic acne scars are raised above the surface, creating a bumpy texture. Ice pick and boxcar scars tend to have shallower depth and more linear characteristics while rolling scars have broad, wave-like features. Hybrid scars combine both characteristics into one scar and may show both textural changes as well as color variants.
Dermatologists often utilize skin resurfacing procedures such as laser therapy or chemical peels to diminish the appearance of acne scars, including laser therapy or chemical peels. This helps smooth out edges of scars while stimulating growth of new cells and encouraging remodelling.
Dermabrasion and dermaplaning are also effective options for skin resurfacing, while radio frequency energy (RF energy) may help tighten sagging skin more significantly if combined with these methods for more dramatic results.
Monopolar radiofrequency skin tightening procedures provide an effective and safe method to smooth away fine lines, wrinkles, loose skin, reduce the appearance of sagging facial skin and contour your face and neck for a more youthful look. Collagen production stimulation plays an essential role in this procedure and stimulated by it will further diminish any visible sagginess on facial features and neck lines.
RF energy can be used to treat dark spots caused by acne scarring. Furthermore, this treatment can also benefit those suffering from uneven skin tone or discoloration caused by sun exposure; its heating action stimulates deep layers of the skin’s healing processes to promote more even skintone.
Brighter Skin Tone
RF heat penetrates deeper layers of skin, causing minor damage that nudges your body to rebuild the damaged structures. In doing so, this process also boosts collagen production which helps tighten skin tighten up fine lines and wrinkles while improving sun damage appearance. When combined with microneedling treatments such as microneedle rolling RF treatments can brighten skin tone as well as reduce discolorations like age spots or scarring.
Facial radiofrequency treatments offer versatile and effective results for all skin types and colors. Facial RF treatment works especially well on thinner, better blood-flowed areas of the face like lips and eyes that respond very positively to treatment; similarly, its benefits extend to neck wrinkles as well as more robust spots like stomach or arm areas for dramatic body contouring effects.
Due to its versatility, Facial Radiofrequency (RF) treatment is one of the most sought-after treatments at our spa and has even become a favorite among celebrities like Michelle Williams. RF treatments provide the ideal way to correct wrinkles, fine lines or define jawlines without surgery; London facialist Abigail James even refers to it as “the face lifter of non-invasive world.”
RF facials are both cost-effective and long-term results-oriented treatments, making them an attractive option. A series of three to six sessions should usually provide noticeable improvements; it is wise to consult a professional first to ensure the desired outcomes are reached.
Remember, radiofrequency (RF) treatments aren’t a permanent fix – the aging process continues after your series of RF sessions have ended, so regular maintenance treatments will need to be administered to maintain results and keep them from dissipating over time. Our team recommends pairing facial RF with noninvasive procedures like microneedling for maximum rejuvenation results.
Tighter Skin
Radio frequency skin tightening therapy (RFST), also known as radio frequency skin tightening treatments, are becoming an increasingly popular non-invasive aesthetic treatment due to their quick results and minimal downtime. Not only can RF treatments reduce wrinkles and saggy skin but they can also help improve tone and texture of your complexion. While many devices are available for purchase online or at your local pharmacy, you should only seek treatment from a dermatologist or board certified plastic surgeon for maximum safety and optimal outcomes.
An RF treatment involves using a handheld applicator to deliver energy directly into the target area. As it glides across, heat penetrates deep layers of skin and stimulates production of new collagen fibers by your body – leading to fine line and wrinkle reduction and tightening up of loose skin.
As with any treatment, results of radio frequency treatments take time. Over time, your body’s collagen will work at a cellular level for six months after each RF session to keep making your face younger and fresher looking.
RF skin tightening treatments offer numerous advantages over surgical options, including no downtime and no scars left behind. Furthermore, these noninvasive therapies are safe for all skin colors and types; especially darker skin tones which are difficult to treat with lasers.
As cosmetic procedures, radiofrequency (RF) treatments aren’t covered by health insurance policies. But there may be an at-home device available that administers them more cost effectively. Unfortunately, however, such at-home devices won’t offer nearly the same results or duration as professional devices used by dermatologists and plastic surgeons, nor will their results last as long.
Dr. Brunner will provide more details regarding radiofrequency skin tightening at your consultation, along with which device/s and treatment plan would best help you reach the results you desire. She uses topical numbing cream and protective gels for maximum comfort; for additional pain relief she offers Pro-Nox, a nitrous oxide inhalant.
