3 Things You Should Know About A Radio Frequency Facial

What is an RF Facial?

Radio Frequency has been around for years and is now being used in facial treatments.  It's biggest effect is firming and tightening of the skin.  It's a great alternative to facial surgery for many reasons and should be considered before doing something as extreme as a face lift.  Here's why:  Non invasive, no infections or wounds to deal with.  Painless, no down time, can return to normal activities immediately.  More cost effective that a face lift.  Ideal for those who are not willing to undergo and invasive surgical procedure.  Best suited for those with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues.  It's commonly used to treat the forehead, under eyes, sagging in the mid face and jowl area.  We recommend our Lipo Contouring treatments to treat the double chin or sagging skin around the neck which includes both fat cavitation and radio frequency. 

How does an RF Facial work?

The currents passed cause heat to build up in the skin tissue. This heat works to contract the dermis (the upper skin layer) resulting in wrinkle reduction (some wrinkles are eliminated all together). Clients often compare the feeling to a warm stone massage. Another important beneficial effect of the radio frequency treatment is the stimulation of increased collagen and elastin production as well as increased blood circulation. These result in overall skin rejuvenation lasting for months.

What Can I Expect?

In the past the only way to combat sagging facial skin was undergoing a surgical face lift where incisions are made, excess skin removed and ends pulled tightly together. Needless to say such procedures are costly and involve severe discomfort as well as lengthy down times. As any type of surgery, plastic surgery included, face lifts are not risk free.

Radio frequency treatments offer a safer, easier to endure, less expensive alternative to face lifts. 
RF face treatments are conducted in 30 to 60 minute sessions, usually a series of some 4 to eight treatments is recommended, one to three weeks apart. 
No recovery time is needed after a radio frequency treatment! You can just get up and go on with your daily routines. 
Results become apparent immediately but their maximum effect is visible some two months after the treatment cycle is over. Results last for years and treatments may be undergone again when necessary.
