What can I expect after?
•Because the RF Skin Tightening treatment is non-invasive and pain free, side effects are minimal. You can expect some redness and warmth in the treatment area but this settles quite quickly after your treatment. Even better, there is no recovery time after RF Skin Tightening, so you can hit the ground running.
Does it hurt?
•No, not at all. The great thing about RF Skin Tightening is that it’s non-invasive and pain free. The treatment works by warming the skin, which most people find to be pleasant and relaxing.
How long between treatments?
•The key to the RF Skin Tightening treatment is repetition. For the treatment to be effective, RF Skin Tightening must be performed at least once a week during the initial treatment period – however, we recommend two sessions per week. After the initial course of 10 treatments, we recommend a maintenance treatment every 4-8 weeks.
How does it work?
•If you’re put off by the ides of a surgical facelift, RF Skin Tightening is considered the superior choice when it comes to facial skin tightening treatments. Here’s how it works: The radiofrequency energy produced by our Skin Tightening machine penetrates the skin layers to selectively heat the skin tissue.
• The particular frequency type used, known as tri-polar or 3D radiofrequency, heats the deeper dermis to a constant 40°. This creates thermal trauma which impacts 5-30% of the collagen fibres.
• The result is an immediate contraction of the fibres. This contraction stimulates what’s known as fibroblast action, a process that increases the synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibres.
• Our treatment delivers results in three ways:
1 - Tissue retraction: The generated heat causes local collagen fibres to contract, which immediately tightens the skin.
2 - New collagen formation: By heating the dermis, RF Skin Tightening stimulates new collagen production.
3 - Improved circulation:
RF Skin Tightening also improves blood and lymphatic flow in the face, which in turn increases oxygen supply to the skin and promotes greater toxin clearance.
• The great news is that RF Skin Tightening treatments will result in immediate lifting and tightening effects. Longer-lasting tightening will continue for 3-6 months after the course of treatment thanks to the production of new collagen.
A programme of RF Skin Tightening treatments combined with at-home skincare will deliver the best results, so chat to one of our therapists about a complete solution. We can’t wait to help you live your best skin.
Pre-Care
• Don’t forget to avoid excessive sun exposure for two weeks before your Skin Tightening treatment, and at all times during your treatment programme.
•Wait for any cold sores, broken skin or open wounds to fully heal before having your treatment. If you feel the tingle of a cold sore coming on, it’s important to wait for this to pass before having your treatment.
•Cosmetic Injecting clients should leave two weeks between their last cosmetic injecting treatment and RF Skin Tightening.
After-Care
•Your experienced Skin therapist will provide post-treatment instructions and will recommend home-care products to continue your treatment at home.
•Things to avoid: It’s very important not to expose the skin to excessive heat from sources such as a sauna, gym or steam bath for two weeks after your RF Skin Tightening treatment.
•There should be no sun exposure between treatments and SPF 30+ must be applied daily.
•Immediately after: Your regular skincare regime, including active products, can resume immediately after the treatment. To maximise the results, Skin Tighten Serum is recommended as part of your at-home care.
•12 hours after: We recommended that makeup is not applied for 12 hours after the procedure. However, specialised mineral make-up may be suitable for use during this period.
