What Can Radiofrequency Treat?

The treatment is successful when it comes to tightening and rejuvenating loose skin. It targets the skin’s deeper layers, helping to stimulate the production of new collagen. This helps with tackling any emerging frown lines, laughter lines, and crow’s feet, which tend to be linked with ageing skin.

This treatment can also be used to help treat the appearance of sagging jowls, helping to tighten the skin and add definition to the jawline, creating a much younger-looking appearance. Smaller handpieces have been developed specifically in order to follow the face’s delicate contours. Radiofrequency energy can be used to smooth and tighten the skin around jowls and the cheeks.

This sort of treatment is perfect for anyone who is experiencing dullness and loss of firmness in their skin. Not only does it boost the production of collagen, but it is also excellent in terms of general radiance. It is not recommended for skin with rosacea and broken capillaries, though. If you are unsure as to whether this is going to be the right treatment for you, there is no need to worry. All you need to do is give us a call and book a consultation.

You should try to avoid doing anything that is going to cause irritation to your skin before you have the treatment. This includes sunbathing, whether artificial or natural. Practitioners are also going to be unlikely to treat someone who has sunburn, for instance, as they would experience pain from the treatment because some heat would be being added to skin that has already been damaged. However, if you have an established tan, there is nothing wrong with this and you should be able to receive the treatment without issue.

However, you should not worry if you do experience any minor side effects, for example, mild swelling and redness on the skin.
