Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation and tightening procedure which uses electric energy to heat the skin’s deeper layers without damaging the surface of the skin. The heat encourages cell turnover and induces the stimulation of elastin and collagen production which are responsible for youthful looking skin’s tone, firmness and elasticity.
Radiofrequency can be used to treat:
- Facial sagging
- Double chin
- Ageing skin, fine lines and wrinkles
- Cellulite
- Stretch marks
- Scars, including acne scars
- Stubborn fat in most body areas through body contouring
- Muscular pain

Frequently asked questions
Radiofrequency treatments are painless, non-surgical, efficient and requires no down time, which means it can be a lunch time procedure that can take about 15 to 45 minutes to complete, based upon the area being treated.
During the procedure, your specialist will use a hand piece to apply the Radiofrequency energy, moving the wand in a circular motion over the surface of your skin. At the same time, the unit’s built-in cooler minimizes the sensation of heat you’ll experience during the treatment.
The results of Radiofrequency are immediately evident, as the skin structures respond and visibly tighten. As your skin develops new collagen, you can expect your results to continue to improve, and your skin to appear firmer and more youthful.
Radiofrequency is suitable for all skin types and is an excellent treatment option for most individuals who are looking for a non-invasive treatment for facial sagging and double chins.
In addition, Radiofrequency can be used on the body safely and effectively to treat muscular pains, resistant fat such as tummy rolls, bra bulges and sagging buttocks as well as the appearance of cellulite.
Radiofrequency can be combined with other treatments such as Microneedling, Chemical Peels and can be done before Fillers, Wrinkle Relaxing Injections or Thread Lifting to create an overall enhanced effect.
