RF Facelift Safe Procedure Effective Skin tightening

RF Facelift

We will go through an interesting story of Collagen:
Nowadays, collagen is the crazy thing for people seeking cosmetics in market/online. It’s available in creams, serums, pills, powders, drinks and what not.
So why are everyone after collagen, it’s a protein or can call it as a “magic protein” found in our tissues and organs. It’s the key to keep our skin supple and strong, but an important point is, it’s not kind, it is an ephemeral visitor and begins to bid farewell in early 20’s. Hallow cheeks tear through fine lines in delicate intractable skin, these are typical signs of slowing down of collagen production.

So whatever is going on around it, is it fiction (not proven tricky) / fact (can built collagen) and cannot be rebuilt fast. Ageing depends on genetic and environmental factors like sun exposure especially in fair people, stress, food, hydration, etc. Whatever treatment is aimed at anti-ageing should increase collagen production and re-modelling of collagen.

RF Face Lift (Radio Frequency):

It’s a non-surgical and non-invasive process. Even though there are multiple modalities for anti-ageing treatment, this is the first FDA approved one for non-surgical face lift. It keeps skin lifted, softens fine lines and firms facial contours both immediately as well as over time. As microdermabrasion is the skin smoother of facial world, similarly, RF is the contour reliever of facial world.

How does a RF face lift/ RF facial work?

  • It stimulates collagen production.
  • It heats the skin between 38-40 degrees.
  • It feels like hot stone face massage, we can feel the heat but at comfortable level.
  • No downtime or discomfort, except little heat and mild erythema which clears in less than a day.

What are the benefits and how long they last?

  • It immediately tightens the collagen fibres and result can be also cited, but can be repeated for long lasting result and increased volume.
  • It continues to promote collagen production over 4-6 weeks following. So result can be expected till 1-2 months after RF.

Can RF help reduce lines & wrinkles?

  • It’s great for softening fine lines especially, nose to mouth lines.
  • As well as lifting the cheeks and tightening the jaw lines.
  • Also works for forehead wrinkles and glabellar lines.
    Over all, it’s a great age preventer.

How many RF’s?

4 to 6 sessions at a gap of 3 weeks depending on age and sagging of the skin is recommended. Process has to be repeated once in a year as aging process takes place continually. However, 1 or 2 sessions are sufficient for maintenance.

Who is best suitable for RF?

  • Anyone experiencing loss of firmness & dullness in the skin.
  • Along with collagen production, it also boosts oxygen levels in the skin; therefore it’s also great for general radiance and textural smoothness.
  • Not suitable if broken capillaries, rosacea and metallic implants are there.
  • Other uses of RF can be used for body such as decreasing cellulite, firming, contouring and lipolysis.

Micro Needling RF:

Micro-needling is a minimally invasive treatment that rejuvenates the skin. A device with fine needles creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin that generates the body to create new collagen and elastin. Results can include improved skin resurfacing as well as texture and firmness in the skin.

RF micro-needling includes the addition of the element of radiofrequency energy to the traditional micro-needling procedure. The RF energy is delivered through the small needles or electrodes.

In addition to the benefits which are seen with the micro-injury given by the microneedles, RF micro-needling also delivers RF energy deep into the dermis further enhancing skin tightening and scar reduction.

The RF energy will heat the underlying layers, causing constriction and tightening of the skin, as well as the stimulation of collagen and elastin production. Because the RF energy is delivered so deeply, it can produce faster results that are more dramatic, with no damage to skin.
