tRadiofrequency Therapy (RF) is a common non-invasive aesthetic procedure that uses a high-frequency alternating current to heat tissue in the dermis to increase collagen, which consequently decreases skin laxity and photoaging.
Once the skin reaches about 115°F the body releases heat-shock proteins that stimulate new collagen fibers to be created. Collagen is an essential protein for the skin and is the driving force behind skin becoming firmer, smoother, thicker, and more youthful. Radiofrequency therapy reverses signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles by inducing tissue remodeling and replenishing depleted collagen.

Radiofrequency Therapy (RF) is another type of collagen-stimulating procedure. It uses radio waves to help tighten the protein fibers within your skin.
During the process, your practitioners uses a Radiofrequency Therapy (RF) device, which helps deliver radio waves to deeper skin layers. After a Radiofrequency Therapy (RF), you’ll likely see tighter skin immediately.
Tightened collagen fibers in the chest area can also enhance your natural contours. However, you’ll need to repeat your treatment to see optimal results
