What is Radio Frequency Skin Tightening?
Radio frequency skin tightening (also known as Thermage) RF skin tightening, and RF photo rejuvenation, is a non-invasive procedure that uses radio frequency energy to produce deep skin healing. The radio frequency will stimulate new collagen production, tightening the body's tissue.
Although this procedure is not right for everyone, radio frequency skin tightening can help men and women of varying ages who want smoother-looking skin without surgery or injectable fillers.
Benefits of Radio Frequency Skin Tightening
Radio frequency skin tightening effectively reduces wrinkles, contours the body, and prevents mild to moderate signs of aging. Aside from its main purpose, the procedure also offers other benefits, including:
- It does not involve cutting the skin or receiving stitches
- No downtime is required. Patients can resume normal activities immediately
- It is painless
- Most individuals only need one session
- Delivers fast results
- Results can last up to 2 years
- Minimal bruising
How to prepare for the procedure
Before any procedure is assigned, we conduct an initial or exploratory consultation on all our patients. The purpose of the consultation is to determine the most effective treatment for the patient, as everyone is different and may respond better to alternative treatments. During the consultation, we will review the patient's medical history, including:
- Allergies
- Blood disorders
- Over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription medications
We also ask questions about whether the patient is pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Patients must be honest during this consultation, as RF can negatively impact a fetus or nursing infant.
To ensure the best results, we recommend that patients avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and chemical peels 24 hours before and after their treatment. In addition, if the patient has had a recent procedure such as a chemical peel or laser resurfacing, we will advise them to wait at least one month before scheduling the radio frequency tightening appointment.
What to expect during the procedure
After approval, the patient may schedule their procedure appointment, which will take place in-office. To begin, we will numb the patient with a topical anesthetic cream to reduce the chances of discomfort during the process. We will then use a small applicator or probe to deliver radiofrequency energy to the problem area. This energy will heat the collagen fibers deep beneath the surface of the patient's skin. Once cool, these fibers contract and tighten the treatment areas, resulting in improved tone and texture.
The time length of the session can last up to 40 minutes. It depends on the area of the body receiving treatment, the size, and if we will be treating more than one area. Once complete, the patient can resume normal activities, such as driving or returning to work.
Potential side effects include slight swelling and redness that may last up to 24 hours after the procedure. Though rare, if the patient is experiencing moderate to severe pain, hyper swelling, or any other adverse reactions, we encourage them to contact our office immediately so that we may advise accordingly. Additionally, if the patient deems their side effects an emergency, seek emergency care immediately, and contact us afterward.
After Care
In addition to avoiding UV rays 24 hours following treatment, patients should also avoid applying lotion to the treatment sites. Applying lotion immediately after the procedure may interfere with the penetration into deeper layers of the skin.
Unless they receive alternative advice from our doctor, patients are free to resume their normal skincare routines as there are no known health risks associated with this procedure.
Follow-up appointments are not typically scheduled. However, if the patient has concerns within the following days or weeks of their appointment, we invite them to contact our office and advise accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How long does the procedure take?
A. Most sessions take no more than 40 minutes to complete. It depends on the area that is being treated as well as its size. We will walk you through the process before the procedure takes place and answer any questions you may have.
Q. How many sessions will I need?
A. In most cases, only one session is required until the results wear off. Radio frequency skin tightening produces new collagen for your body. Therefore, results will last as long as the newly-produced collagen in your body lasts. Collagen naturally withers as we age, so session frequency depends entirely on your body.
Q. What are the risks involved with this procedure?
A. No significant risks are associated with this procedure unless the doctor determines some during your initial consultation. If you are experiencing bruising, bleeding, or infections at the intended treatment site, we will advise you accordingly. We also advise you to avoid prolonged sun exposure and tanning beds 24 hours before and after the procedure.
Q. Is the procedure painful?
A. No. We will use a topical anesthetic to numb you before we begin the procedure. You may feel a slight discomfort at the treatment site after the procedure, but this usually subsides within 24 hours. If there are any concerns or symptoms following the procedure, we encourage patients to call us right away.
Q. How much downtime will I need?
A. In most cases, no downtime is required. You will be able to drive out of our medical spa as you will not be under the influence. You may also resume normal activities on the same day, work, school, exercising, heavy lifting, etc. However, we suggest you avoid prolonged sun exposure and tanning beds for 24 hours.
