What is radio frequency (RF) therapy for collagen stimulation?

Radio frequency (RF) therapy is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses controlled radio frequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin. This heat stimulates the body’s natural collagen production, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin over time.

How does RF therapy boost skin firmness and elasticity?

RF energy heats the dermal layers of the skin, causing collagen fibers to contract and tighten. The heat also triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, prompting the production of new collagen and elastin. This process gradually improves skin firmness, texture, and elasticity.

Is RF therapy safe for all skin types?

Yes, RF therapy is generally safe for all skin types and tones. Because it does not use light or lasers, there is minimal risk of pigmentation changes or burns. However, a qualified provider should assess your individual skin condition to ensure the treatment is appropriate for you.

How many RF therapy sessions are needed to see results?

The number of sessions depends on your skin’s current condition and your desired results. Most people see noticeable improvements after 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about 1 to 4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every few months can help prolong the results.

Are there any side effects or downtime after RF therapy?

RF therapy is minimally invasive with little to no downtime. Some people may experience mild redness, swelling, or warmth in the treated area, which usually subsides within a few hours. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after the procedure.
