What Are The Benefits Of Skin Tightening With Radio Frequency Technology?

Both doctors and patients talk about the benefits of skin tightening with radiofrequency technology on the face. Although it also has its critics, the truth is that this technique has made great strides in recent times.

Although cosmetic surgery is another approach, this technique has become a competitor. As a non-invasive technique, it is cheaper and gives results in less time.

It is often called a non-surgical facelift, although this is not an accurate description. Unlike surgical techniques, it requires no anesthetics and provides none of the expected side effects of a major procedure.

This technique uses energy as heat. RF devices emit energy that penetrates the skin to stimulate collagen production and regeneration. 

It achieves the desired effect because the heat induces fibroblasts, a type of cell found in the skin, to produce new collagen. It can be used on almost any part of the body. There are techniques for neck, buttocks and abdomen.

The benefits of skin tightening with radiofrequency technology are well known in the field of skin care. The patient will require more than one session, and probably at least six. 

Skin tightening devices with radio frequency technology

The benefits of skin tightening with radio frequency technology have been demonstrated with different equipment. It can be massagers, toners or stimulators, as they work in the same way.

Before performing the session, it is essential that the skin is clean. There can be no residue after make-up or other substances that can prevent the effect of the heat energy.

The professional spreads a conductive gel over the skin. In other words, this gel allows the energy to pass through. The selected device is positioned over the gel and the professional begins to move it around the area.

Sometimes skin tightening with radiofrequency technology is combined with hyaluronic acid to increase the benefits. However, this is not the most common way to do it.

There are three systems for radio frequency:

• Monopolart. This targets adipose tissue that is present in the deeper skin layers.
• Bipolar. This works on the outer layers of the skin.
• Tripolart. This combines monopolar and bipolar. It stimulates collagen and elastane production as well as removing fat. Today, this is the most recommended system due to its efficiency.

Side effects and contraindications

The side effects of skin tightening with radiofrequency technology are related to the heat that is transferred to the skin. Although not a painful technique, it can cause the skin to swell and become irritated. In some more extreme cases, it can cause bruising which then disappears. However, this is not common.

Some countries have reported changes in facial conductivity and trigeminal nerve after the session. This leads to a more serious establishment of the use as well as clear specifications about who should not use it.

Thus , these are the contraindications to skin tightening with radiofrequency technology on the face  that have been internationally agreed upon:

• First and foremost during pregnancy and lactation. The fat cells that are removed through this technique travel through the lymphatic system and can reach the embryo or baby that the woman is breastfeeding.
• Cancer patients. Oncologists usually recommend waiting at least five years for recovery.
• Pacemakers. The heat radiated by the devices may change the function of the pacemaker.
• Finally; patients with severe heart problems. Heat energy causes the veins to dilate and the removed fat cells circulate through the blood. Both situations work against their purpose for a heart patient. If you still want to tighten your skin with radiofrequency technology, you should consider the benefits and risks of a cardiologist.

The benefits of skin tightening with radio frequency technology on the face

Experts around the world are conducting more and more scientific studies to confirm the benefits of facial RF. As of now , experts have proven its effect for collagen regeneration. With new collagen, the skin will retain its firmness and elasticity, which reduces wrinkles.

Calorie stimulation also increases circulation in the treated area. Not only the blood circulation, but also the lymphatic system, which promotes the drainage of waste fluids and cells.

Purely medically and mathematically proven studies : 

• Forehead lift of up to 1 mm after three months of treatment.
• Improvement of smile wrinkles and reduction of wrinkles in 50% of the treated patients.
• Increased cheek contour in 60% of patients.

User satisfaction is high. As a rule, those who received RF treatment thought that they saw benefits.

Medical consultation is still important before starting. In addition, you need to make sure that the treatment comes from a professional.
