What is Radio Freqency (RF)

How Does Radio Frequency (RF) Work?

Understanding Radio Frequency Skin Tightening

Radio Frequency (RF) is a non-invasive treatment designed to help tighten, firm, and improve the appearance of the skin.

RF works by gently heating the deeper layers of the skin using controlled radio frequency energy. This stimulates the body’s natural collagen and elastin production, helping to improve skin texture and firmness over time.

What Does RF Help With?

RF treatment may help improve:

• Loose or sagging skin
• Skin firmness and elasticity
• Cellulite appearance
• Skin texture
• Body contouring
• Mild skin laxity after weight loss

It is commonly used on:

• Stomach
• Arms
• Thighs
• Bum/glutes
• Waist
• Back
• Neck and lower face (where suitable)

How Does RF Tighten The Skin?

The controlled heat energy penetrates beneath the surface of the skin and stimulates collagen fibres.

Collagen is a natural protein responsible for keeping the skin firm and supported. As collagen production increases, the skin can appear:

• Tighter
• Smoother
• Firmer
• More toned

Results develop gradually as the skin continues producing collagen after treatment.

What Does The Treatment Feel Like?

Most clients find RF treatment relaxing and comfortable.

During treatment you may feel:

• A warm heat sensation
• Gentle pressure from the handpiece
• Warmth in the treated area afterwards

The treatment should not feel painful.

Is There Any Downtime?

There is usually little to no downtime after RF treatment.

Some clients may experience temporary:

• Redness
• Warmth
• Mild tenderness

These effects are normal and usually settle quickly.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Some clients notice improvement after one session, however a course of treatments is typically recommended for the best results.

Most clients choose:

• 4–10 sessions
• Weekly or bi-weekly appointments
• Maintenance sessions as needed

Results vary depending on:

• Skin condition
• Age
• Lifestyle
• Hydration
• Treatment area

Can RF Help After Weight Loss?

RF is popular for clients wanting to improve the appearance of loose or less firm skin after weight loss, fitness changes, or body transformations.

It is commonly combined with:

• Fat Cavitation
• Wood Therapy
• Lymphatic drainage

for enhanced contouring and skin tightening results.

What Should I Do After Treatment?

For best results:

• Drink plenty of water
• Avoid excessive heat for 24 hours
• Follow all aftercare advice
• Maintain healthy lifestyle habits

Hydration and consistency can significantly support treatment outcomes.

Who Cannot Have RF Treatment?

RF treatment may not be suitable if you:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have a pacemaker or implanted electrical device
• Have active cancer
• Have certain metal implants
• Have severe medical conditions
• Have active skin infections or open wounds

A consultation is required before treatment to ensure safety and suitability.

Important To Know

Results vary from person to person and no treatment can guarantee exact tightening or inch loss.

RF works best as part of an ongoing body and skin care routine combined with healthy lifestyle habits.
