is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses electrodes to tighten the skin
and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It was quick, straightforward and
relatively painless and it’s given a few more years of young-looking skin.
Radiofrequency (RF) treatment has been used since the 1930s.
Generally, it has involved a stream of electrons that is used to incise, excise, ablate or
coagulate tissue using the heat it generates. Recent technological developments
have lead to the non-ablative use of radiofrequency treatment for reversing the
visible signs of aging. Making use of cryogenics (deep freezing)
it is possible for radiofrequency energy to enter the deep dermis and
sub-dermal layers of the skin, stimulating the production of skin-revitalising collagen
while leaving the epidermis (outer layer of skin) unharmed.
What can Radio Frequency treatment do for you?

particular applications. In general, however, they will all produce a brief
deep heating sensation as the treatment is delivered to your skin.
Some have a built-in cryogenic facility that keeps the skin’s temperature low
making the treatment more comfortable. Prior to embarking on any radiofrequency treatment
it is advisable to avoid damaging the skin by, for instance, sunbathing
as this will increase the sensitivity of the skin, making the procedure quite painful.
system delivers radiofrequency energy deep into dermal tissues
causing the underlying collagen structures in the skin to immediately tighten.
New collagen is gradually produced causing the skin to ‘fill out’ further.
The only side effects that have been observed are slight discomfort
swelling and redness which will lessen after a few hours.
