How does the procedure work?

Like any type of energy, radiofrequency, too, has the capacity to heat. The procedure involves heating the deeper layers of the skin. As a result, this stimulates the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. In fact, this encourages cell turnover which in turn makes skin firmer, thicker as well as more youthful. One session takes about 20-45 minutes. The procedure involves heating the skin to a bearable 38-40 degrees Celsius. In fact, dermatologists recommend several sessions over the course of a few months for optimum results. Radiofrequency uses lower frequency light waves, as opposed to lasers, which use high-frequency light waves, and hence can improve only the skin’s surface. While radiofrequency waves can safely penetrate the deeper layers of skin, improving its overall tone and structure, without damaging the superficial layer.
