Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency (RF) technology is highly sought after for its skin firming properties. Useful for face and body lifting, the treatment can stimulate skin remodelling by the immediate contraction of existing collagen and the subdequent production of new collagen.
Depending on the technical specifications of the specific RF device, the treatment varies according to:
- Temperature: comfortable warmth or extreme heat
- Pain: minimal to excruciating (requiring nerve blocks and/or sedation)
- Results: immediate or slow change over months
- Number of treatments: single or course
- Duration of Effects: hours, days, months or longer?
- Risk of Burns or Fat/Muscle Necrosis
- Versatility: any other treatment benefits?
We have taken all the above factors into consideration when we chose the RF machine to purchase. The Derma RF with patented superpulse RF technology is comfortably warm during the treatment. No sedation or pain relief is needed. The results are immediate and progressively longer lasting with each treatment. A course of 5-6 fortnightly sessions is recommended, at fortnightly intervals. Maintenance is just once every few months subsequently.
