Radiofrequency Treatment

Radiofrequency treatment is an aesthetic procedure that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin under the skin using the energy of radio waves to make the skin look younger and firmer. This treatment corrects sagging skin and improves the overall appearance of the skin by reducing fine lines.

Radiofrequency treatment usually starts to make a slight difference after the first session, but the most noticeable and lasting results appear after several sessions. Optimal results are usually seen 3 to 6 months after treatment, when collagen regeneration in the skin is complete.

Radiofrequency treatment is usually painless and most patients experience a slight sensation of heat during treatment. Modern radiofrequency devices have temperature controls to increase patient comfort so that any discomfort during treatment is minimized.

Since radiofrequency treatment is a non-invasive procedure, the healing process is usually quick. There may be mild redness or swelling of the skin after treatment, but these symptoms disappear within a few hours. Patients can usually resume their daily activities immediately after the procedure.

Radiofrequency treatment is suitable for most adults who want to reduce the signs of skin aging and are looking for skin tightening and rejuvenation. However, it is not suitable for those with skin cancer, open wounds on the skin or implants of electronic devices (such as pacemakers).

The results achieved with radiofrequency treatment can be long-lasting, but not completely permanent because the skin continues to age naturally. A healthy lifestyle, regular skin care and repeat treatments, if necessary, can help maintain the results for a long time.
