What is RadioFrequency Skin Tightening & Body Contouring?

Smooth, lift and tighten skin with our advanced RadioFrequency procedures – a pain-free method for helping you hit your cosmetic goals without surgery.

RadioFrequency is a versatile skin tightening and body contouring treatment that is popular with both men and women. Whether your concerns are ageing, cellulite or a loss of body shape, it can help you to…

• Tighten skin that has lost laxity and help restore your facial contours, such as around the jawline

• Reduce fine lines and wrinkles, especially in the face

• Treat and smooth out the appearance of cellulite

• Reduce the appearance of scarring, including stretch marks

• Improve skin texture and tone

• Melt away stubborn localised fat in areas such as the tummy, inner thighs and around the chest (“man boobs”)

Our RadioFrequency technology is safe and proven, with no downtime. It can be especially effective when combined with other treatments as part of your own tailored plan. During your comprehensive, no-obligation consultation, our practitioners will help you find the best solution for you.

 

How does it work?

As bodies mature, our skin begins to lose its firmness and laxity. This is caused by a slowing in the production of collagen and elastin. Factors such as lifestyle, pollution and genetic predisposition can speed up this process. Similarly, our bodies are prone to storing fat in localised areas of the body, such as around the stomach, chest and thighs. Often, diet and exercise cannot shift these alone.

Our advanced RadioFrequency (RF) machine uses invisible radio wave energy to safely heat the underlying tissues in the skin, to a temperature of between 40 to 45-degrees. This simple process remodels the skin’s tissues and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin. Loose skin is tightened and rejuvenated. Furthermore, skin that has been damaged by scarring can be repaired.

The energy also improves blood circulation and metabolic activity within the dermis (the thickest layer of skin). Unwanted fat cells are destroyed and excreted through the lymphatic drainage system for a tighter, more toned appearance in troublesome areas. As such, it is a very popular treatment for cellulite.

 

How long does the treatment take to work?

RadioFrequency treatments begin to work immediately, and you may notice some subtle improvements after the first session. However, it’s a gradual, cumulative process. Results improve with each additional treatment. Skin will also continue to tighten over the following weeks and months as new collagen and elastin is produced.

On average, most patients have a course of between six to eight sessions, with results peaking at around three months. RadioFrequency can also be combined with other treatments for optimal results.

What is the downtime?

There is no downtime. You can resume almost all your daily activities immediately after treatment. Your practitioner will advise you if there is something you must avoid.

​

How many treatments are needed?

On average, a course of six to eight RadioFrequency sessions is usually recommended in order to achieve optimal results. However, this may vary depending on your own goals and needs. Your practitioner will help you to create your own tailored plan during your initial, no-obligation consultation, and your progress will be monitored and assessed through ongoing free reviews.

Does it hurt?

There is no pain with our RadioFrequency Skin Tightening and Body Contouring procedures. You will feel only some heat under your skin during treatment.
