What is Facial RF?
Our body needs collagen and elastin to maintain a beautiful and firm face. But what we need to know is that from the age of 25, we lose between 1 and 2% of our natural collagen every year. The cells on the surface of our skin (our epidermis) don't renew themselves as quickly as they did when we were younger. So the results are flaccidity, wrinkles and texture problems. Radio frequency therefore comes to provide a natural collagen production solution, not only tightening the skin, but also redressing facial contours to create toned and youthful skin. These are radio frequencies, which are an innovative tool in aesthetics. Through this method, a painless lifting is achieved, so with this means we can keep our face young and healthy without marks from stitches or needles as in other treatments, as it is non-invasive.
But what do we call radio frequency?
We call radio frequency the oscillation transmitted through light as an electric and magnetic field. In this way the frequency is transferred without its harmful radiations. In particular, radio frequency machines have the ability to produce some radio waves, which are safe for us. Therefore, these enter our cells to be stimulated and produce collagen and elastin through the high heat emitted. In this way we can see immediate and visible results unlike the other lifting methods which are painful and their results last for a minimum period of time.
How is RF treatment done and how long does it last?
Α protective gel is applied to our skin to make the treatment easier. Then a handle is placed towards our face from where thermal energy is emitted, which will tighten the tissues without damaging the upper layer. This method is relaxing and painless since it is non-invasive and takes about 20 to 40 minutes. The sensation left by the treatment can be related to a pleasant massage.
These radio waves stimulate the increase in collagen and elastin production, resulting in an immediate and long-lasting improvement in our skin. RF activates the skin's internal healing processes and collagen is built to last over time. Therefore, our results can be evident up to two years after treatment. Of course, the more sessions we do, the more long-term results we get.
What are the advantages of RF facial?
The most visible benefits this treatment can provide is skin tightening creating a smoother, wrinkle-free surface. This method has the excellent advantage of being able to improve facial 'damages' that seem irreparable. In addition radiotherapy can treat flaccidity of the skin as well as blotch.
What facial aesthetic problems can it face?
• Flaccidity in the areas around the lips
• Eyelid drooping
• Double chin
• Wrinkles
• Smoothing the face
• Problems created due to the sun
Is the treatment safe?
The answer to this question is positive. RF facial skin tightening is less dangerous than invasive treatments.
Are there side effects?
The technique does not cause unwanted side effects on the skin. However, the most common side effect is temporary tingling. However, there is no documented evidence so far that rf can inflict risks on our health.
Is there a recovery time?
No, the patient can return to normal activities on the same day.
