Radio Frequency

A non-surgical and non-invasive skin tightening and anti-aging treatment.

Sagging skin, wrinkles and fine lines are common issues that stem from genetics or photodamage caused by exposure to the sun. Over time, collagen and elastin, two components present within your skin, break down and cause your skin to lose its elasticity.

During a radio frequency (RF) skin tightening procedure, heat is used to encourage the production of new collagen and elastin. The renewed production of these components helps to eliminate wrinkles and fine lines, and tightens skin.

The treatment can be used on any part of the body to tighten any loose and sagging skin. It is also suitable for any age group.

It is effectively used on areas of the face and neck, the breasts and tummy, and upper arms and thighs. But it can be used on any part of the body that requires the skin to be firmed. It is an appropriate treatment for the face because the ageing process sees a reduction in the amount of fat, particularly on the cheeks. Instead of plumping out the tissues (the outcome of filler treatments), it simply aims to tighten up the sagging skin in areas such as the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and jowls.

Radio frequency can be performed as a stand alone treatment for skin tightening or combined with ultrasonic cavitation for complete body contouring.

Benefits of Radio Frequency for the face:

Increases skin firmness
Helps tighten the skin, reducing loose skin
Reduces lines and wrinkles
Lift the brows and tighten the skin on the forehead
Thicken and tighten the skin under the eyes
Lift and diminish enlarged pores on the cheeks and midface
Reduce jowls and sagging along the jaw line
Tighten skin and diminish wrinkling on the neck

What can Radio Frequency be combined with?

Fat Dissolving Injections - To accelerate fat dissolving and firm the skin on the chin, jowls & jaw line
Microneedling - To accelerate skin rejuvenation and skin tightening
Cavitation- To reduce fat on localised areas of the body and to support cellulite reduction.
CACI - To firm & tighten the skin whilst strengthening the facial muscles.

dermaplaining exfoliation with radio frequency

Our Level 3 RF dermaplaning treatment begins with a double cleanse to prepare your skin. Once prepped, we use a surgical scalpel to gently remove dead skin cells and vellus hair from the face.

We then go onto a full face & neck radio frequency treatment.

The treatment concludes with a serum, moisturiser tailored to your skin type, followed by an SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV damage.

level 3 microneedling RF £200.00

2 powerful anti-ageing treatments together

Radio Frequency speeds up collagen and elastin production whilst tightening the skin. Microneedling kickstarts the healing response and encourages collagen and elastin production. When we microneedle we are limited to a certain depth on the face, and we are mainly working on skin texture, but we don’t achieve deeper lifting and tightening. So, by using radio frequency and microneedling together it helps to stimulate collagen at a deeper level and speeds up the results of the treatment.

These types of devices have been around for a little while now which means longer term results are starting to be seen. As we know everyone’s skin is unique to them and one size doesn’t fit all. While the skin may be red and inflamed immediately afterwards it will visibly calm down within hours, but the process is continuing under the surface. In fact, the healing process can continue for many months so over treating and over stimulating this natural process can lead to problems which may not become apparent for several years.

This is why it is so important to treat the skin gently – as all the famous skin experts say, “Less really is more”.

By performing these two treatments separately we can negate the chances of over treating and it allows you as the therapist to have more control. The intensity of radio frequency can be tailored to your individual client, and you can also control the depth of the needles and target specific areas with the microneedling device giving a much more gentle, focused treatment. You will still get amazing results just in a much safer more controllable way.

As always, the most important thing when we are treating clients’ skin is your equipment and your training – not just knowing how to use a machine but knowing why you are doing it and how to do it in the safest but most effective way possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Radio frequency has emerged as a popular non-invasive treatment option for reducing the appearance of fine lines and loose skin.

Its principle relies on using radio frequency energy to heat the skin to a precise temperature for a precise amount of time in order to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, thereby tightening the skin.

Radio frequency can be performed as a standalone treatment for skin tightening or combined with ultrasonic cavitation for complete body contouring.

Tissue retraction

The generated heat caused local contraction of the collagen fibres which immediately tighten the skin.

New collagen formation

By heating the dermis, new collagen production is stimulated. Improved circulation Radio frequency will also improve the blood and lymphatic flow. This helps with a better oxygen supply and greater toxin clearance to further reduce the effects of ageing.

Pure RF energy alone is primarily used to treat skin laxity and is best suited to clients with mild to moderate sagging of facial or body tissues, usually those in their mid thirties to fifties.

On the face it is commonly used to treat the forehead (lift brows and tightens forehead skin), under the eyes (thickens skin and tightens and lifts the upper cheek skin), cheeks (lifts slightly and diminishes enlarged pores), mid-face, jaw line (diminishes jowling and sagging along the jaw line), and the neck (tightens skin and diminishes wrinkling of the neck).

However, if there is a significant amount of redundant or sagging skin, often seen in older patients over sixty, this procedure may not show a significant enough improvement.

On the body its can help reduce and re-contour fatty areas in various parts of the body. It can work on virtually any part of the body. It can be used with ultrasonic cavitation and vaccum therapty for the treatment of cellulite and skin tightening on the arms, abdomen, buttocks and legs. Which helps support ultrasonic caviation treatments when skin tightening is required with fat reduction.

RF skin tightening procedures cause few side effects and little to no downtime. All studies report no permanent side effects following treatment.

Pain

Early RF treatments caused a great deal of pain and required patients to be sedated with anesthesia. As RF technology and treatment became better understood, dermatologists discovered that reducing the radio frequency reduced pain while still providing effective results, making it painless with just a nice warming sensation.

Erythema

Patients may sometimes experience erythema, or reddening of the skin, after a procedure. Erythema typically fades within 24 hours after treatment.

Swelling

Some clients may experience a slight swelling which can last up to 24 hours after treatment.

You will notice a slight change in your skin immediately after the first treatment and will continue to improve after each subsequent treatment. Lax skin will be firmer and more toned, not to mention healthier and younger looking, and wrinkles will be considerably reduced. You should start to see improvement in your skin following the second treatment and additional improvement will gradually appear as the treatment course progresses. As new healthier collagen is formed, tighter, more natural looking and firmer skin will be produced. The gradual improvement in your skin will continue even after the completion of your course.

The improvement in skin quality should be long lasting from 3 months to a year. The results and how long they last are dependent on your skin health, diet and lifestyle. Top up treatments are usually needed and each person is different so it is difficult to be exact.

Unfortunately not all treatments are for everyone. Please check our contraindications list to make sure you avoid disappointment.

Pre Treatment Advice

You should try to avoid doing anything that will irritate your skin immediately before treatment. This includes sunbathing (natural or artificial). Practitioners are unlikely to treat someone who has sun burn for example, as they would be more likely to suffer pain from the addition of heat to the already damaged skin; however an established tan would be fine.

Some women find that their skin is more sensitive right before and during their menstrual cycle so if you are a woman, you might want to take this effect on pain threshold into consideration when scheduling your treatment appointment(s).

Post Treatment Advice

No special care is needed after treatment although your practitioner may suggest some of the following:

Light application of soothing/moisturising lotions, creams or gels to the treatment area;

cool, moisturising mists applied as you feel necessary;

cool water rinses or ice packs applied to the treatment area.
