What is Radio Frequency?

Radio frequency (RF) is an alternating current, the same as the electrical current that deliver morning radio.

The current may alternate from 0.3 – 10 Mhrtz per second and delivers the high energy into the skin, directly affecting the skin collagen fibres.

Layers of the Skin

How Does RF Affect the Skin?

As the current flows into the skin, it increases the skin’s temperature. The current penetrates into the dermal layer of the skin but does not affect the epidermis – meaning no visual effect on the surface of the skin.

With the current penetrating into the dermis, it affects the extracellular matrix, also known as the collagen and elastin network. The localised heating causes immediate contraction of the fibres, increases cellular metabolism and accelerating the rate at which skin produces collagen and elastin fibres. This is called neocollagenesis.

What is neocollagenesis?

The contraction of collagen fibres and the regeneration of the collagen and elastin deposits, tighten skin layers creating a smoother, healthier and younger skin.

What is Fractional RF Micro-needling?

This involves the penetration of insulated micro-needles into the dermis to deliver the radio frequency pulse to the targeted tissues. This results in the self production of new collagen and elastin fibres.

What Are the Benefits of RF Micro-needling?

Tissue Contraction

The heat causes local contraction of the collagen fibres, which has an immediate tightening effect on the skin.

New Collagen Formation

Heating of the dermis stimulates new collagen production, which is essential in age prevention.

Improved Circulation

RF improves blood and lymphatic flow in the skin, this induces an improved oxygen supply and toxin removal in the skin. This aids to further reduce signs of ageing.

Who Will Benefit from the Treatment?

• Ageing skin
• Fine lines & wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Pigmented or damaged skin
• Acne scarring
• Sluggish appearance
• Sagging or loose skin

In conclusion, this is the step-up from the micro-needling treatment we all know and love. This treatment will transform your dull, aged or damaged skin and repair it into something you thought could only be a dream. Now it is possible for you and your skin to get that bounce back!

With this incredible technology to stimulate the tightening of your skin’s collagen it would be crazy not to experience the difference yourself.
