What Is Radio Frequency Treatment?
Here at Wowcher, we've had a nosey and got the low down on radio frequency so we can tell you what the big deal about it is! Radio frequency treatment is a treatment that focusses on promoting collagen production in cells. This all sounds great, but what does it actually mean? Collagen is a protein that is responsible for tightening the skin, which means the more collagen produced, the tighter your skin is and less wrinkles for you! The procedure is carried out through a little machine that rolls over the skin and uses electromagnetic waves that interact with the deeper layers of skin in order to stimulate collagen production.
What Happens During Radio Frequency Treatment?
So what actually happens when you sit down for the treatment? Well, for starters it's non-invasive, so there's no needles or invasive treatment, so you can sit back and relax! The treatment involves a small machine that produces electromagnetic waves that, when rolled over the skin, will interact with the cells in the deeper layers of skin to aim to stimulate collagen production. The sessions can generally last between 20 and 40 minutes, with some clients requiring a topical anesthetic cream. Some clients may also experience some redness of the skin, however this can easily dissipate either naturally or through the use of cooling or anesthetic creams.
Benefits Of Radio Frequency Treatment
With the ins and outs of the treatment covered, we're sure you've still got a few pressing questions about how it looks and what the outcomes are, so let's cover them! Clients can expect to see results immediately after the session typically with tighter skin and a lifted complexion. The treatment typically aids to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and focusses on tightening, brightening and firming the skin. The treatment is not just a one-time thing either, optimum results for the treatment may vary but typically clients can receive the most effective results after 3-5 sessions.
What Happens After Radio Frequency Treatment?
Does anything happen after the treatment? Is there any aftercare that I need or special attention that I need? The answer is: not really! After the session, some clients may require a topical anesthetic cream or cooling gel to cool the skin and reduce some redness of the skin. However, apart from this, clients should take some delicate care of the treated area for the following 12-24 hours, taking care to avoid heavy sun exposure and tanning beds, along with avoiding strenuous exercise to avoid heavy perspiration. Spas, saunas, hot tubs and hot showers should also try to be avoided in this time.
