With the normal aging process, skin becomes lax and loses its turgor and texture. Collagen fibers become loose and damaged. Moreover, fat collection due to erratic food habits adds to the sagging of skin especially over the neck causing double chin, abdomen, love handles, and arms. RF skin tightening is a procedure wherein all these changes are reversed.
Treatment FAQs:
How does it work?
The radiofrequency waves target collagen fibers causing remodeling of these fibers. This remodeling of collagen gives the feeling of tightening to the skin. At a certain temperature, it also decreases the size of fat cells thus helps in contouring.
How many sessions does it need?
Usually, 5-7 sittings are required for each area depending on the laxity of the skin. Treatment of each area takes about 30-60 mins. The sessions have to be repeated every week.
What areas of face and body can it treat?
It can be used anywhere on the face and body to smoothen wrinkles, tighten loose skin, reduce cellulite and treat fat circumferentially.
How long do the results last?
The results depend on age and genetic makeup of the person. After 5-7 sessions at weekly intervals, the results last for 1 year or even longer. It is best to get a touch-up session done during this time. Moreover, following a healthy lifestyle and the right food habits further prolongs the effects.
