Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is a non-surgical procedure that uses heat to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the skin. This can help to tighten and firm the skin, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. 

How it works

  • An electromagnetic device emits radio frequency energy waves that heat the skin's dermis 

  • The heat stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are proteins that give skin its firmness 

  • The body's healing response to the controlled injuries in the dermis leads to new collagen and elastin production 

  • This improves skin laxity and cell turnover, resulting in firmer skin 

Benefits 

  • RF skin tightening is considered safe and effective

  • It's a non-invasive procedure that doesn't require downtime

  • It can be used on the face, stomach, and other areas

Side effects 

  • Some people may experience pain, redness, swelling, or skin darkening after treatment

Safety 

  • The safety and efficacy of RF skin tightening depends on the skill and experience of the provider
