Radio Frequency (RF the vibration 6 million times of electromagnetic waves every second) - penetrates the skin directly, using the resistance of skin and high friction between molecules and can bring heat energy; it makes the temperature of deep skin rise; thus the collagen tissues temperature will also rise. The collagen rising temperature will produce instant contractibility which can reduce or remove wrinkles quickly and tighten skin, at the same time the heat energy that is produced on the dermis can stimulate collagen birth again, it also recombines and restores ill collagen, and then achieves the function of reducing or removing wrinkles and tightening the skin.
SKIN TIGHTENING
RADIO FREQUENCY (RF)
Radio wave is part of the electromagnetic spectrum; it spreads at the speed of light. A radio frequency emitter is pressed up against the skin. These radio waves get past the outer skin layers and delver heat energy to the muscles and tissues beneath. The heat helps to contract these layers and build up collagen levels. The overall result tightens up the outer layers of skin and reduces wrinkling effects. Since there is a lot of heat involved, some cooling must be applied to the skin at the same time.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Sagging skin on the neck, décolleté and face along with wrinkles are common problems associated with aging. This is mainly due to a decreasing of collagen production as skin loses its quality. RF system is the most commonly used procedure to stimulate the collagen production and strengthen the skins’ structure. RF enables skin tightening and improvement of the skin’s appearance painlessly without post-op downtime of classic surgery applications or other invasive methods.
RF is a non-invasive way of tightening loose or lax skin around the forehead, eyes, cheeks, mouth, jaw line, jowls and also the areas under the chin / neck. It is a great way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores and improving skin tone and texture as well as dull skin. It can also be used for body tightening and skin improvement.

HOW LONG DOES EACH SESSION TAKE?
The duration of treatment sessions is usually between 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area and the thickness of the fat layer.

We recommend a series of between 6 to 10 - Skin Tightening treatments, approximately one week apart, with the best effect seen two months following the final treatment. Depending on the number and how deep the lines and wrinkles are will depend on the number of treatments required.
Firstly – It has an immediate effect by tightening the supportive framework of the skin by contraction of the collagen fibres and tissue retraction, aiding remodelling and rejuvenation
Secondly – Heating the dermis stimulates the body to produce collagen, boosting healing response, acting as a new deep foundation for the skin
Thirdly – Producing further tightening, that becomes evident over several months.
Short Term effect – Contraction of collagen fibres
Long Term effect – Stimulation of fibroblasts and production of new collagen, elastic fibres and hyaluronic acid.
Final effect – Redefining and remodelling – enhancement of dermal compactness

You should avoid doing anything that will irritate your skin immediately before treatments. This includes sunbathing (natural or artificial), due to having sunburn would increase the likelihood of incurring pain during the procedure with the addition of heat to already damaged skin. An established tan would be acceptable to carry out treatment on.
Following treatment, it is important to ensure you use a high sun factor (40-50SPF) to hydrate and protect areas treated.
• Drink a large glass of water immediately following each treatment.
• In-between your treatments you should take care of your skin by cleansing, toning, and moisturising using products for your specific skin type twice a day.
• Do not touch the area that has been treated.
• It is recommended not to wash the area treated with really hot water for 24 hour post treatment.
• Do not do dusty or dirty work
• Try to avoid heavy sweating, swimming, spa, hot showers, or anything that increases your body temperature to a high level as this may increase redness flare up of the area for the 24-48 hrs post sessions.
• Do not use perfumed based products on the skin.
• Avoid wearing make-up for 24 hrs post treatment.
• Avoid alcohol consumption for 72 hrs post treatment (Alcohol drains water from the skin)
