RF Therapy
What is RF Therapy and How Does it Work?
Radiofrequency (RF) therapy, also called radiofrequency skin tightening, is a nonsurgical method of tightening your skin. The procedure involves using energy waves to heat the deep layer of your skin known as your dermis. This heat stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is the most common protein in your body. It creates the framework of your skin and gives your skin its firmness.
You will feel a warming sensation on the skin, and under the surface of the skin. This should always feel soothing, comfortable and even relaxing. It is a very pleasant treatment to experience.
