Radiofrequency energy (RF) is used to tighten the skin by targeting the epidermis or the inner layer of the skin. This heat generates heat which results in the production of new collagen.
Fibroplasia is also triggered by this procedure. This is when the body creates new fibrous tissue and stimulates collagen production. The collagen fibers become shorter and denser. The collagen molecules are not affected by this procedure. The skin’s elasticity is increased and the loose, sagging skin gets tightened.

Is skin tightening treatment painful?
You might think Radiofrequency skin tightening is painful or unpleasant, given its name. It’s actually quite the opposite. Although some people may feel the warmth, the procedure is almost painless. There is no need for anesthesia or numbing.
Radiofrequency skin tightening is a non-invasive procedure that does not require any downtime. You can continue your day after the treatment.
What areas on the body can undergo treatment?
Radiofrequency skin tightening is something you might be interested in. You will be able to treat almost any area with ease because there are two sizes available – one for large areas and one that is smaller, like the face.
The radiofrequency procedure is common in the following areas: abdomen, face, stomach, thighs, and vaginal area.
Is Radiofrequency a safe treatment?
This treatment may be questioned by many people. It is actually safer than traditional surgical skin tightening methods.
Radiofrequency is a radiofrequency that we are regularly exposed to, via microwaves, cell phones, and televisions. FDA has approved radiofrequency skin tightening devices as safe to use.
Does skin tightening actually work with Radiofrequency?
Yes, it can increase collagen levels by around 20%. It also turns over dead skin cells faster than any topical product.
Loss of collagen and elastin due to factors like age, sun damage, or genetics can cause wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
Radiofrequency skin tightening uses radiofrequency waves to penetrate the skin’s outer layer. This creates heat that reduces wrinkles and stimulates collagen production. It also restores skin’s elasticity, giving your skin a tighter appearance.
How often should one get this treatment?
Radiofrequency skin tightening can be performed quickly, without incisions and with lasting results. This procedure can be done at your doctor’s office, quality med spa or on your lunch break.
This being said, the number of skin tightening treatments that you require will depend on your skin’s condition and age. For mild sagging, one treatment is sufficient. Moderate looseness might require several treatments.
Younger clients might schedule treatments three months apart. Others may schedule once per month for eight months.
The heat generated by RF causes targeted, controlled damage to the skin’s structures. The best results are achieved by heating the skin to approximately 152 degrees Farenheit. This causes collagen and elastin to undergo degradation. They are able to unravel, causing the collagen matrix immediately shrink and contract. To give you a younger appearance, the skin tightens and lifts.
Your body will enter a healing mode while you wait, just like it would after sustaining a cut to the skin or any other injury. The skin’s deepest layers are home to Fibroblast cells, which produce new collagen and elastin. This process is called dermal remodeling.
