Your skin changes with age, but thanks to modern treatments, you don’t have to sit back helplessly and watch those changes unfold. Instead, you can take action with Radiofrequency (RF) facial skin tightening here at Medical Skin Rejuvenation. With proven benefits and a great safety profile, you’ll retain your natural beauty but look younger and fresher.

What Are the Benefits of RF Facial Skin Tightening?

The two most visible benefits provided by this treatment are tighter skin and a smoother surface – meaning fewer wrinkles. But RF therapy is versatile, so you can also expect an improvement in sun damage. Studies show that after three months of RF treatment, patients saw clinically significant improvements in mild to moderate signs of sun damage.

This is great news for those with photoaged skin; treating dark spots, sagging, and other effects of the sun is notoriously hard to do. Most people think aging is the only culprit behind collagen degradation, but the sun is even more vicious. The ability to reverse UV damage is, therefore, nothing less than revolutionary, and RF technology does precisely this.

Facial Contouring

Before we get further into this subject, let’s take a look at how skin ages. Below the surface, in those depths invisible to the eye, a collagen and elastin scaffolding supports the dermis and epidermis. This structure keeps your skin supple, bouncy, and firm. From age 25 on, however, we lose between 1 and 2% of our natural collagen each year. This is an effect of the body’s processes gradually slowing. In turn, the scaffolding grows weaker and crumbles.

To make matters worse, the cells on our skin’s surface (the epidermis) don’t renew as quickly as in our youth. The results are dullness, sagging, wrinkles, and textural issues. Radiofrequency comes to the rescue, not only tightening skin, as mentioned earlier, but also restoring contours to create toned, firm, youthful-looking skin. This firming action makes RF especially well-suited to the chin, neck, and jawline and is also used to tighten:

- Sags between the nose and mouth

- Bags and wrinkles under and above the eyes

- Drooping brow lines

- Softens Fine Lines

 Each subsequent session builds upon the last so that as you move forward in your treatment plan, you’ll look progressively younger.

Long-Lasting Results

Thanks to increased collagen and elastin production, the improvements to your skin will be long-lasting. Some facial treatments only stimulate facial muscles or temporarily plump tissues; RF, on the other hand, triggers the skin’s internal healing processes, and collagen is inherently made to last. Your results can therefore continue up to two years.

Increases Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

HA is the unsung hero of skincare. It also works in tandem with collagen and elastin, so where those two fibers increase, HA is sure to follow. This means that with RF treatments, you can enjoy softer, silkier, and better-moisturized skin.

HA molecules naturally attract and bind to water molecules. It’s therefore a key component of your skin’s natural moisture barrier, and ramping up levels can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, soothe redness, and help skin look plumper.

It Can Be Completed at Lunch

The average session lasts between 20 and 45 minutes. We apply a protective gel to your skin to facilitate treatment. The handpiece is then moved across your face with deft efficiency. And your treatment is unique to you; we customize the depth of thermal energy to ensure we meet your individual needs.

Relaxing and Pain-Free

One of the most appealing aspects of RF therapy is its non-invasive and gentle nature. While the energy heats and ultimately tightens tissues, it does so without damaging your skin’s top layer. And for patients who hate needles, RF omits them as well as other scary-looking tools for a treatment that is very non-threatening.

Patients describe sessions as relaxing and enjoyable, comparing them to a hot stone massage for the face. Some even fall asleep. Likewise, no downtime is required so you can get straight back to your day; you don’t need to hide your skin or go home to recover.

What Is RF Therapy?

This is a two-part answer; first, therapy is electromagnetic radiation delivered at a specific frequency range, also known as radio waves. Electromagnetic radiation surrounds us, coming from such sources as lightning, the stars, the sun, and our bodies. They span quite a range of frequencies and wavelengths. Frequency relates to the number of cycles formed in one second and is measured in Hertz; a wavelength describes the distance between two wave peaks.

Second, we divide radio frequency into bands ranging from low to high. Low frequencies, such as those used for sending data and voice communications, travel longer distances. High frequencies, on the other hand, transmit just a short distance. Higher frequencies are those used to treat the human body in both medicine and aesthetics.

Added Bonuses

The heat generated during treatment also increases cell metabolism and helps detoxify tissues. At the heat temperatures we achieve, blood vessels widen to increase blood flow and feed cells with more oxygen and nutrients. All that fresh, healthy blood flowing into your face also removes waste products like carbon dioxide. The effect is hard-working cells that provide an energy boost for dermal remodeling – and overall healthier skin.

All the Evidence You Need

RF facial skin tightening is not a treatment we hope delivers results; clinical studies prove it’s one of the most effective ways to achieve smoother and more youthful-looking skin. In a USA-based study, clinicians saw visible results in participants’ skin, and the subjects were likewise highly satisfied with their improvements.

Researchers in Korea mirrored these findings. They found RF therapy safely and effectively reduces scarring, promotes collagen synthesis, and treats the signs of aging. Brazilian researchers also concluded RF treatment stimulates collagen production.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know you’re wondering about the number of treatments you’ll need. 

We usually recommend a series of three to four sessions spaced between two and four weeks apart. Maintenance sessions are encouraged every year or every other year to help maintain your results.

Who Is Treatment Right For?

Any man or woman who wants to sculpt trouble spots without pain or long periods of downtime. But others can also benefit from RF treatment; it’s suitable for most people as it helps invigorate the skin and deliver a healthy glow. That glow is owed to increased collagen; to understand, imagine the shiny cheeks of a child, dewy with fresh collagen. This effect can be replicated at nearly any age with treatments that amplify the protein’s levels.

Why Skin Types Can Have RF?

Treatment is designed for all skin types, including those with sensitive and dry tissues. It boosts oxygen levels in the skin, so it can freshen your appearance at any time. But those with certain conditions should sit this one out, including patients who are pregnant and/or have:

- Active acne

- Rosacea

- Broken capillaries

When Will I See Results?

Earlier, we mentioned your face will gradually look softer and more supple. While we can’t provide a precise timeline because everyone responds to treatment differently, we can say you’ll start to see improvements within just weeks. Results will also continue to develop in the coming months.

Is Treatment Safe?

The answer is a resounding yes. In fact, RF facial skin tightening is much less risky than more invasive treatments. The technique has earned FDA approval, and produces no unwanted effects on the skin.

The Treatment That’s Good for You

RF facial skin tightening is actually good for your skin. It repairs tissues from the inside out for a clearer and brighter complexion. And treatment is safe for men and women of all ages who want to rejuvenate their appearance. Schedule your consultation today by calling Medical Skin Rejuvenation for your free consultation.
