Radio Frequency Skin Treatment
If sufficient energy is delivered and the skin is heated to a certain temperature, then the collagen fibers will contract, providing an immediate plumping of the skin. A secondary result is the stimulation of new and healthy collagen fibers which over time can reduce fine lines and wrinkles while tightening the skin. Collagen remodeling occurs over many months and results continue to improve over a treatment course.
EndyMed 3DEEP Radiofrequency technology is the latest and most advanced skin tightening and contouring treatments. It works to deliver multiple energy sources into the skin, delivering controlled heat deep into the dermis while preserving the delicate epidermis.
The treatment is personalized according to the condition of the skin and the area being treated, allowing for the safest possible treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Following your consultation and the formulation of a treatment plan, you will be scheduled for your procedure. The length of the procedure depends on the number of areas which are being treated. Treatment time can range from 20 to 60 minutes.
The treatment involves passing the RF handpiece over the skin, the choice of handpiece is dependent on the area being treated. During the treatment, the deep skin layers are gradually heated while the skin surface stays at around 40 degrees (hot shower temperature). The skin temperature is monitored to ensure the correct energy is being used. The handpiece releases RF energy deep into the dermis to begin the collagen contraction and stimulation.
The treatment is comfortable and you will feel a sensation of warmth as RF energy passes through the skin. It is relaxing and many describe it as a warm massage. Following the treatment, the skin will be red and appear tighter and plumper.
The treatment is significantly more comfortable than older forms of RF treatment such as Thermage.
RF Skin Tightening is best suited to people with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues, usually those in their mid-thirties to fifties, with any skin color. A course of 6-10 treatments is usually required to achieve desired results. Results achieved range from 30-50% improvement.
Radio Frequency skin tightening is suitable for – ANTI-AGING SKIN, FACE WRINKLES, AGING SKIN RF can also be used in conjunction with ultrasound cavitation to aid in a further fat breakdown and also to tighten the skin in the same area the cavitation treatment has taken place.
his treatment tightens the skin using Bi-polar radio wave frequencies which vibrate the water in the dermis causing friction and heat which causes the collagen to contract and become more compact leading to a dramatic tightening and lifting effect. Unlike laser/IPL treatments which tend to be absorbed or scattered by the upper layers of the skin and can cause some burning, RF skin tightening can work into the deeper layers of the skin without doing harm to the upper layers.
An RF hand piece is slowly moved over the treatment area, transmitting an oscillating current of low-level radio waves, to the deeper layers of the skin. The current causes the skin to heat between 39-42 degrees Celsius. This heat- a controlled trauma, stimulates the skin’s natural wound healing response, in turn stimulating collagen and elastic, which plumps and lifts the skin.
Tissue Retraction: The generated heat causes local contraction of the collagen fibers, to immediately tighten the skin.
