Radio Frequency Skin Tightening FAQ

[accordion]
[accor_block title=”How does it work?”]Electromagnetic radiation below the range of 300GHz pierces the skin, effectively heating the dermis to approximately 40 degrees. The dermis is the skin layer below the epidermis. The heat gradually modifies the collagen fibres, causing them to contract and condense (see research). Additional collagen synthesis occurs due to the healing process of the skin, induced by the heat. This eventually results in tighter and healthier looking skin.

[accor_block title=”Are there any side affects?”]Radio frequency is completely safe, with earlier types of RF technology either penetrating too deeply or overheating. Conversely, our technology causes no side-effects, other than a little temporary soreness.

[accor_block title=”How long will it take me to recover?”]The treatment method is 100% non-invasive; this means no scalpels, needles, anaesthetic or sedation. With no restrictions or limitations imposed, clients are free to resume their lives immediately after the treatment.

[accor_block title=”How many sessions will I need?”]The length of procedures varies depending on the targeted area and the number of areas treated. We recommend up to six sessions.

Our clinicians will give you realistic expectations, and help you to achieve the best results you can by advising you on which course of treatments is ideal for your circumstances.

[accor_block title=”What happens during the treatment?”]Skin Tightening FAQ: Each session will begin with cleansing to remove any makeup or oils which could interfere with the treatment. A practitioner will then apply numbing cream to the target area for a few moments before the treatment begins. During the treatment, your temperature will be monitored to ensure the skin surface remains at 40 degrees.

Throughout the session, you can listen to music, watch a movie or use our iPads to entertain yourself.
