Skin Tightening
Firstly it has an immediate effect by
tightening the supportive framework of the skin (by the
contraction of collagen fibres and the retraction of tissue)
aiding in remodelling and rejuvenation.
Secondly, heating the dermis stimulates the body to produce
collagen, boosting a healing response. This acts as a new
foundation for the skin producing further tightening that
becomes evident over several months.
The combination of these two processes provide immediate skin
tightening and further long term tightening effects.
RF also facilitates cellulite and fat reduction by improving
blood flow to the treated area and promoting the breakdown of
fat cells, aiding the re-absorption and drainage of fatty
deposits and retained fluids.
Depending on the size of the area being treated the procedure
can take as little as 15 minutes up to a maximum of several
hours for the treatment of extensive areas. The patient
experiences a gentle heating sensation during the procedure.
There is no pain and because the surface layer of the skin is
not damaged there is no prolonged healing time and normal
activities can be resumed immediately.
RF procedures have an excellent safety record. Erythema
(redness) of the treatment area is usually noted during the
procedure and resolves within 30 minutes to 24 hours following
treatment.
Any patient can have the treatment and skin
colour makes no difference to the effectiveness of the
procedure. It should be noted that Radio Frequency cannot be
applied to patients with pacemakers, metal plates, pins, severe
heart disease, diseases of connective and muscular tissue or
pregnant or breast feeding women.
Fat Reduction
The most exciting thing about radiofrequency
treatments, is that you see results from the very first
treatment as much as a 2cm reduction on the face from only one
session, body areas tighten as much as 5cm after only 2
sessions. This tightening and reduction remains until the next
treatment in most cases. A course of treatments gives lasting
results which can be enhanced by ongoing treatments. Skin tone
and contouring can keep on improving for up to six months after
a course of treatments as collagen production has been
stimulated. Results can last for years depending on your skin
condition, sun exposure and stage in the aging process.
Pure RF energy alone is primarily used to treat skin laxity by
tightening and targeted fat reduction by shrinking the fat
cells.
It is commonly used to treat the forehead (lift brows and
tightens forehead skin), under the eyes (thickens skin, tightens
and lifts the upper cheek skin), cheeks (lifts slightly and
diminishes enlarged pores), mid-face, jaw line (diminishes
jowling and sagging along the jaw line), and the neck (tightens
skin and diminishes wrinkling of the neck).
Contours the body by reducing the size of the fat cells on a
specific area such as, upper arm, stomach, upper and lower back
(love handles), Thighs and buttocks, cellulite is diminished as
the fat is dispersed through the lymph system. Skin tightening
is also available on any area most commonly upper arms, stomach
and breast.
