RF-Therapy: Technique, Benefits And Effectiveness
RF-therapy is an innovative method of rejuvenating the skin. Electromagnetic energy is used to deeply warm the skin and activate processes responsible for beauty and health. The RF device can be your magic wand, minimizing wrinkles, tightening the skin, evening out skin tone, and giving a healthy glow. Best of all, it can be used at home at any time that is convenient for you!
But what exactly is RF technology? Radio Frequency Therapy (RF) is a non-invasive machine procedure used to tighten the skin of the face and body without surgery. The principle of radiofrequency therapy is based on diathermy, which involves deep heating of tissues using high-frequency currents.
Despite the diathermy method being used in medicine and cosmetology for over 100 years, RF therapy has only recently appeared on the market. However, its high efficiency has made the RF lifting procedure popular and in demand worldwide.
Initially, this method was only available in aesthetic centers and beauty salons. But with the development of modern technology, anyone can now perform the radiofrequency therapy procedure at home. All it takes is adding 10 minutes twice a week for the RF procedure at home, and you will achieve the same results as you would with a specialist in a salon. Additionally, you will save valuable time and, of course, money.
RF Therapy can help you:
- Improve facial muscle tone
- Enhance facial contour (V-shape)
- Activate collagen and elastin synthesis, resulting in more elastic and supple skin
- Smooth fine and deeper wrinkles
- Reduce puffiness
- Even out skin tone and complexion
- Visibly rejuvenates the skin
How does it work?
High-frequency currents target the dermis (collagen-elastin frame of the face) and hypodermis (subcutaneous fat), while avoiding the epidermis. The skin is intensively and evenly warmed up (from 40 to 60 degrees to a depth of 3 cm), leading to improved lymph circulation and blood flow, activated metabolism, and resumed work of fibroblasts (precursors of collagen and elastin proteins). These changes at the cellular and subcellular level contribute to the smoothing of wrinkles, particularly nasolabial folds and crow’s feet, facial skin tightening, and the reduction of puffiness and bags under the eyes.
After the first procedure, you will notice that your face has a healthy glow, is more toned, and has reduced swelling and tiredness. For better penetration of the radio waves and faster and more visible results, it is important to use a water-based contact gel during the procedure. The procedure is not painful, and you will only feel heat from the device.
Indications for RF therapy
RF therapy is a safe cosmetic procedure that is suitable for all skin types and is relevant for individuals over 25 years old. At a young age, radiofrequency procedures are recommended as a preventative measure for aging and to eliminate minor defects on the face, such as expression wrinkles, dull skin, and a tired look. For individuals over 40, the device can provide an excellent anti-aging effect.
RF therapy may be beneficial for you if you have:
- Wrinkles or fine lines on the face
- Sagging or loose skin
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Uneven skin tone
- The appearance of bags or puffiness under the eyes
If you have any of these concerns and wish to improve the appearance of your skin, RF therapy is a great option for you. It is always recommended to consult with a licensed healthcare professional or a qualified cosmetologist to determine if RF therapy is right for you.
The modern RF devices can effectively address the skin concerns mentioned above without causing harm to the skin or the body. However, there are still several contraindications to the use of this technology. For example, pregnant women and women who are breastfeeding should refrain from the procedure. Additionally, individuals with certain health conditions or medical devices such as pacemakers should consult their doctor before undergoing RF therapy.
Other contraindications may include:
- Active skin infections, such as cold sores or acne
- Recent skin treatments or procedures, such as chemical peels or laser therapy
- Skin conditions, such as eczema or psoriasis, that may be aggravated by the procedure
Therefore, it is always recommended to consult with a licensed healthcare professional or a qualified cosmetologist before undergoing RF therapy to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
Despite the fact that RF therapy has a cumulative effect, you will see the first noticeable results after the first procedure. It will be possible to evaluate the full result after the end of the course.
It is recommended to do the procedure for 10 minutes once a week. The total number of procedures depends on age, problems and condition and skin. Usually the course consists of 4-8 sessions.
