What is an RF Facial Skin Tightening?
RF stands for ‘radio frequency’, this treatment is ideal for clients who want tighter facial skin. During this procedure, targeted radio frequencies are used to heat beneath the skin, breaking down depleted collagen and creating a firmer, more youthful look.*
This type of non-surgical facelift treatment introduces radio frequency (RF) energy to the skin of the face, creating measurable thermal waves that reshape and contract the skin’s collagen and then tighten the surface of the skin. Radio frequency skin tightening requires no cutting or repositioning of the skin, as is necessary during a traditional eye or face lift – and has significantly fewer side effects than older laser skin therapies. Much like laser treatment, RF energy penetrates both the epidermis and the dermis to tighten and rejuvenate the skin, but it causes no damage to existing skin cells.
If you have sensitive skin but want to treat your fine lines and wrinkles, radio frequency skin tightening may be a good option for you, as it is gentler on the skin than most other kinds of thermal procedures.
Our Radio Frequency technology selectively heats skin tissue to promote two responses from the dermal layer. Almost immediately it contracts the collagen fibres which results in radiantly glowing skin. At the same time, it increases the metabolism of the fibroblast in order to accelerate production of both new collagen fibres and new elastin fibres.
Results can be seen as soon as after your first treatment; however, a course of treatments are recommended as results are further improved after each session.
Summary of Your Treatment

Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Overview
The effects of radio frequency treatments are mostly attributable to the heat that is generated by the RF waves. In the field of skin care and ant-ageing treatments, RF waves are most commonly used for facial rejuvenation and their believed ability to stimulate the protein fibers that keep the skin elastic. During treatment, the RF waves penetrate the skin to tighten it from the inside out, as they stimulate collagen fibroblast production, which will trigger the production of fresh collagen fibres which result in tighter, more taught skin which is demonstrably younger.
What to Expect During an RF Skin Tightening Treatment?
Our practitioners will require you wash your face with a mild soap and warm water before you arrive for your treatment, as it is important that no excess oils or cosmetics remain on the skin that might reduce the effectiveness of the procedure. When treatment begins, a numbing cream may be applied to the skin and then allowed to sit until it takes effect. It will then be removed, and the skin care specialist will target the treatment area with an ink grid transfer so that the treatment is focused and that no other skin is accidentally affected.
A gliding gel will then be applied to the skin before the RF waves are delivered to the skin. Depending on the sensitivity of your skin, you may feel a heated sensation during treatment, but the side effects of the treatment are believed to be minimal for most patients. When the treatment is over, our practitioner will apply a topical cooling gel to the treated area to minimize discomfort.
Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Side Effects
You may experience some redness and swelling in the treated area after a radio frequency skin tightening procedure, but these symptoms should resolve themselves within 24-48 hours. Misting the face with cool water may help to reduce the irritation, although you should ensure that only clean, purified water is used for these purposes. Some patients have reported sinking of the skin in the treated area, but this has mostly occurred with intense RF treatments. In most cases, these treatments have a low instance of side effects and are considered a viable anti-ageing treatment for a wide array of skin types.
Who is it suitable for?
Anyone, male or female, who wishes to remove wrinkles and lines from the facial area. The radio frequency facial is suitable for all skin types.
How Many Treatments of Focused Fractional RF Are Recommended?
6 to 8 treatments delivered on a weekly basis is recommended for most clients depending on desired results and skin area. It is important to book in for a complimentary consultation to get the correct assessment of the area you want to have treated.
What Results Can I Expect from RF Treatment?
Results are often immediate; however, a course of treatments are recommended as results improve after each treatment.
What Will I Experience from This Treatment?
RF is a relaxing treatment with little or no discomfort. Glycerine will be applied to the skin which acts as a conductor for the RF energy. A hand piece will be placed onto the skin and moved in circular motions. Our machinery will emit a slight beeping noise as the hand piece gets warmer, building slowly until it reaches 40 degrees. Periodically your therapist will use an infrared thermometer to measure the heat of the skin. Once the temperature has built to 40 degrees your therapist will continue to maintain the heat, continuing treatment on the area for 2 to 4 minutes.
