Radio Frequency skin tightening procedure, is relatively new, is a non-surgical option for people who want to treat wrinkles, sagging, and other signs of aging. This is a milder alternative for High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, where we want to uses radio frequency (RF) energy on the skin, heating up the various skin layers to stimulate collagen production, which smooth and lift the skin’s surface.
Because HIFU produces much superior results, we mainly use this as adjunct following cryolipolysis to prevent skin sagging. For skin that is already wrinkled and sagging, HIFU is the preferred choice of treatment.
This procedure requires no incisions to be made in the skin and has a low instance of side effects. Radio frequency skin tightening is a viable procedure for many people whose skin has not reacted favorably to laser or thermal treatments in the past.
