Facial and Body Radiofrequency
A non-invasive treatment that warms the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen.
Radiofrequency uses electromagnetic waves to warm the deeper layers of the skin in a controlled way. That warmth stimulates the fibroblasts and, with them, the natural production of collagen and elastin.
It is used both on the face — the facial contour and mild laxity — and on the body, in areas such as the abdomen, arms and inner thighs. Results are progressive and build up over the sessions.
What radiofrequency works on
- Stimulation of natural collagen and elastin production
- Improvement in the look of mild skin laxity
- A more defined facial contour
- Firmer skin texture in the treated areas
- Works well alongside body contouring treatments
What happens in the session
- Assessment of the area and check for contraindications.
- Application of a conductive gel.
- The applicator is moved over the skin with constant temperature control.
- A comfortable, gradually increasing feeling of warmth.
- Final hydration and sun protection where relevant.
Contraindications we check
Radiofrequency is not suitable during pregnancy, with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic devices, with metal implants in the area to be treated, or over active lesions. All of these are checked at the prior assessment — always tell us about your medical history.
Facial radiofrequency
On the face, radiofrequency is mainly used on the facial contour, the neck and the areas where the skin is starting to lose firmness. It does not change your features or volumes: the aim is skin with better tone and texture, progressively.
Body radiofrequency
On the body, the areas most often treated are the abdomen, arms, inner thighs and buttocks, for mild laxity. It combines well with body sculpting massage and pressotherapy when the goal includes body contour.
