It is a radio frequency treatment which boosts collagen & elastin production to tighten any loose skin.
Completely. RF a non-invasive procedure that encourages the body to regenerate new collagen protein fibres itself by using high frequency waves of energy to selectively heat the sub-dermal tissues. No surrounding tissues are affected, there is no down time nor any redness or soreness at all following the procedure.
Radio frequency breaks down old fibrous collagen & elastin that has become loose or saggy. The body then naturally disposes of it through the lymphatic system.
Skin tightening treatments are between 15 – 45 minutes depending on the area being treated.
We recommend a course of 6-8 treatments per area, these should be taken once every 2 weeks without any gaps in the treatment schedule. You may treat as many areas of face & body as you wish within one session but at least 2 weeks is needed between each treatment to allow time for the body to build the new collagen fibre.

2 years, with top up around 9 months.
RF is very comfortable - you will experience a gentle warmth radiating from the treatment head through your skin, while our therapist slowly moves the device in soothing, rhythmic circles across your chosen treatment area.
Great news - Yes!
Following RF treatments you can immediately carry on with your normal routine - There is absolutely no 'downtime'. On occasions a mild redness of the skin may be present.
After the initial course of treatments the effects can last for approximately 2 years - with single top-up treatments every 6-9 months in between.
Some degree of the result will be instantly noticeable as the existing collagen fibres retract during treatment, the full extent of your results will be seen at 2 -3 months after your course is complete, this is when the old brittle collagen fibres have been broken down & the supple new collagen that the treatment has stimulated will have grown to its full potential. Results improve the more skin tightening treatments you have.
The ideal client for radiofrequency is a middle-age man or woman who is beginning to see signs of a reduction in skin firmness.
While radiofrequency alone will help to remodel tissue to lift, firm and tone the face, it does not address any surface issues on the skin. Hence best results are seen when the treatment is combined with chemical peels and LED photo-rejuvenation.
Radio Frequency when combined with Ultrasound Cavitation is also very effective for body contouring.
