Radiofrequency facial treatment Hertfordshire

Radiofrequency (RF) facial is a non invasive skin treatment that uses energy waves to heat the deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin, which are key proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and young. As collagen production increases, you may notice your skin getting tighter and fewer fine lines over time.

The RF energy targets the middle layer of the skin without affecting the outer layer, which makes radiofrequency a safer and effective treatment. It improves sagging skin, and skin texture.

RF facial is suitable for most skin types and has minimal downtime, it is a popular choice for people looking to rejuvenate their skin without surgery or needles.

Regular RF facial treatments give cumulative benefits.

 

How radiofrequency (RF) facial rejuvenates your skin?

During your RF facial, high frequency alternating currents (usually between 0.3 to 10 MHz) pass through the skin. This creates heat and stimulates the skin.

One of the main benefits of Radiofrequency is the ability to remodel collagen. The heat triggers fibroblasts, the cells responsible for production of collagen, to create new fibers. Collagen is responsible for skin firmness, improves elasticity, and improves skin plumpness and texture reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

RF treatment encourages neocollagenesis – the formation of new collagen fibers. This promotes better collagen structure, improving tone of the skin. RF also stimulates elastin, another important protein for skin elasticity.

It works externally, without cuts or injections, which is great if you don’t like needles. The treatment has minimal downtime and low risks.

Radiofrequency is scientifically confirmed for improving skin firmness, elasticity, and texture if repeated regularly.

RF facial and RF microneedling use similar technology but work in different ways to boost collagen production and enhance skin quality.

 

RF facial

Uses high frequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin. It is a hand held device that glides softly across your skin emitting gentle heat. This heat reaches the targeted tissues below the skin surface, stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen. As the collagen remodels, it improves skin firmness, texture, and overall tone.

 

RF microneedling

RF microneedling combines the benefits of RF energy with microneedling. Tiny, gold plated needles create micro-channels in the skin and at the same time deliver very precisely RF energy into the skin. This combination works with double strength, enhances collagen stimulation and start the skin repair process, which makes the treatment more effective.

 

Difference between RF microneedling and RF facial

The difference between these two treatments is in the depth and accuracy. Traditional RF focuses on heating deeper skin layers and subcutaneous fat tissue. RF microneedling delivers controlled heat at various depths, which we can precisely set giving us the full control of the treatment.

Both treatments encourage collagen production, but RF microneedling has an added advantage. The microneedles create tiny injuries in the skin, which triggers a natural healing response. This response, combined with the RF energy, results in increased collagen production, smoother skin texture, fewer wrinkles, and firmer skin.

 

Recovery time

RF microneedling requires similar downtime as traditional RF. The micro injuries created by the needles speed up the skin’s healing process, with quicker recovery and fewer side effects. However, as with any treatment the experience may vary depending on the individual circumstances, health, skin condition, lifestyle and age.

Both RF facial and RF microneedling can be customised to fit a person’s skin and needs. Treatment settings such as intensity, depth, and number of passes are individually adjusted to target specific concerns.

Radiofrequency facial or RF uses electromagnetic waves to gently heat up deeper layers of the skin. This kickstarts a process that stimulates skin rejuvenation without damaging the skin surface.

The primary goal is to stimulate natural collagen production by triggering fibroblasts. RF encourages collagen fibers to regenerate and remodel which helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

 

What types of radio frequency are available?

Monopolar RF

It uses a single electrode attached to an RF generator, recommended for body contouring and tightening larger areas.

Bipolar RF

It has two electrodes close to each other. It is used for facial rejuvenation, as it targets fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin with a controlled, superficial heating effect.

Multipolar RF

It uses multiple electrodes (three or more). It gives a balance of deep and superficial heating. It is effective for skin tightening and collagen stimulation and is suitable for a variety of skin concerns. In our salon we use Multipolar RF.

Fractional RF

RF microneedling uses RF energy combined with microneedling. Tiny needles create micro channels in the skin, and the RF energy penetrates at precise depth into the skin layers. It stimulates collagen, it is effective for treating acne scars, uneven skin texture, and loose skin. We also use RF microneedling in our salon.

 

Contraindications to radiofrequency facial

• Pregnancy
• Active infections or inflammatory skin conditions
• Implanted electrical devices

How many treatments will I need?

The recommended number of radiofrequency (RF) facial treatments are 4 to 6, but it can vary and depends on your skin condition, your age, lifestyle and health. Individual responses to RF treatment may vary.

Treatment sessions should be spaced 4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments to prolong the results are recommended every 3-4 months thereafter to retain the benefits.

What are the benefits of radiofrequency (RF) facial?

• It stimulates and remodel collagen.
• Tightens skin and makes it firmer.
• Reduces wrinkles.
• Improves skin texture and tone.
• Enhances blood circulation and oxygenation.
• The treatment is non invasive with minimal downtime

 

Is radiofrequency facial good for my skin?

It gradually over time improves skin condition. The collagen remodelling process continues to increase skin quality even after the course of treatment, with results that may last several months, depending on individual factors and after care.

Starting collagen boosters in your early 30s will help slow down the aging process. Aging naturally decreases collagen levels, from as early as 25 years old. Early use of RF therapy will maintain healthier levels of collagen, and contribute to smoother and firmer skin over time, plumper and tighter skin with fewer wrinkles and lines.
