Radiofrequency is a type of energy, which is measured in “frequency” or wavelengths per second. The wavelength used in RF skin tightening is about 100 million times slower than the visible light, and over 1 billion times slower than an x-ray.
What is radiofrequency?
How does radiofrequency tighten skin?
RF has the capacity to produce heat. All work by heating the skin’s deeper layers to induce new collagen and elastin production and encourage cell turnover, helping skin become firmer, thicker and more youthful-looking.
An advantage of using RF to heat tissues, is that the lower frequency of RF can safely penetrate to a deeper level, helping improve skin tone and structure, even lifting tissues. RF can safely treat more patients with different skin tones without risking permanent discoloration.
