RF Body/Face Skin Tightening
What Is RF Body Skin Tightening?
RF Body Skin Tightening is a new aged, non-invasive, antiaging treatment that tightens loose and wrinkly skin within a few weeks!
Without the need for painful, ablative lasers or surgery itself, this treatment provides long lasting, dramatic results while leaving behind a tighter appearance.
This procedure can be in replacement of surgical lifts or tummy tucks to the belly, upper/inner arms, legs and face!
How Does RF Skin Tightening Work?
This quick and comfortable treatment focuses on tightening loose skin by using Radio Frequency Energy heating the skin to 42-46 Degrees Celsius.
When holding the skin at this temperature we have the ability to stimulate high amounts of collagen which forms the foundation of tightening and youthful structure in the skin.
As a secondary effect from raising the skins temperature, skin coils causing a reverse damage due to pregnancy and weight loss.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Nmuber of treatments needed does vary depending on how severe the skin laxity in the area to be treated is.
For mild skin laxity typically 6 treatments are needed and for patients with severe skin laxity 6-12 treatments may be needed.
Patient can see results of skin tightening from their first few treatments and their skin will continue to tighten for the next 3 months post treatment!
Treatments are required once a week over 6-12 weeks for desired results.
