Is Radio Frequency Skin Tightening the Key to Youthful Skin?

The short answer... Yes, absolutely!

For the longer answer and the science bit, please read on...

What is Radio Frequency Skin Tightening?

As we age, our skin begins to deteriorate, it's classed as mature by the age of 25 (!!) and from around the age of 30 collagen production reduces. It’s a natural process but one many of us wish to delay. Our skin loosens as it starts to lose the proteins collagen and elastin which make the skin firm. This results in wrinkles, sagging and a crepey appearance on hands, arms, above the knees, abdomen, neck, and face.

There are many, many anti-aging treatments available to improve aging skin. Dermal fillers can improve the appearance of wrinkles for several months but this needs to be maintained regularly. Plastic surgery is an option, but it's expensive, recovery can be lengthy and it's a highly invasive process. 

One alternative option is the relatively new skin rejuvenation treatment, Radio Frequency Skin Tightening. An affordable, non-invasive treatment with zero downtime, an instant positive affect on your skin and long term improvement. Radio Frequency Skin Tightening is all about making your skin work hard to turn back the clock for you and that's why it is one of my very favourite skin rejuvenation treatments.

How does Radio Frequency Skin Tightening work ?

Radio Frequency skin tightening, (also know as RF treatment and RF Skin Tightening), is 100% non-invasive. The therapist will use a wand connected to a machine that creates radio waves. The wand is passed over your face or body to apply radio waves to your skin and a glycerine based lotion is used to help it glide smoothly. the most you will feel is warmth.

The waves create heat that prompts your skin to produce more collagen and elastin. The treatment also speeds up cell renewal so the skin becomes firmer and thicker over time. Greater collagen and elastin means plumper, stronger and more flexible skin. This means that sagging skin can regain its shape & tone and hold off aging.

Treatment time is 30 to 90 minutes, dependent on the area being treated and apart from mild redness, there is zero downtime. At Skin Within I offer a one hour treatment for £85 for standard Radio Frequency Skin Tightening and a course of 6 treatments for £450.

For Radio Frequency with Microneedling, which is a more invasive version, please read the Dermaforce blog on my website. Dermaforce is the same treatment as the popular Morpheus8, with the same fantastic results yet it's significantly cheaper.

How Long Does Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Last?

The effects of radio frequency skin tightening are not as great surgery‌ but it is referred to as a non-surgical facelift. Once you’ve had a course of RF treatments, you shouldn’t need to repeat it for a year or two and your skin will improve for up to a year. Dermal fillers, by comparison, will need to be touched up more often.   

There are radio frequency devices you can buy to use at home. These are not as powerful as the in salon ones and the results will not be as noticeable or long-lasting.
