RF Skin Tightening

What is Radio Frequency Skin Tightening?

Radio Frequency treatments utilise an oscillating electrical current to generate heat within the skin. Radio Frequency is used for the treatment of skin laxity, tightening, and plumping the skin. Treatment creates an increase in tissue temperature, causing immediate skin tightening and stimulating production of new collagen & elastin.

Benefits of RF Skin Tightening:

Non-invasive, natural, painless, safe, fast, immediate! You can treat as many areas as you like in 1 session

How often can I get it done?

For the BEST results & for results to last, you must leave 1 week between treatments, with maintenance treatments recommended (See guide below)

Radio Frequency is best performed in a treatment course of 6-10 sessions.

How often do I need to perform Skin Tightening after all sessions have finished?

Initially, a course of 6-10 treatments are recommended to achieve the best results. These should be done a week apart (No longer than a week)

Maintenance treatments should be performed for continuous results. Please follow the guide below for maintenance treatments:

• Full course of 6-10 treatments once a year
• Course of 3-4 treatments every six months
• One maintenance treatment a month

The amount of treatments depends on each individual & their goals
