Radio Frequency (RF) – Best Treatment for Cellulite and Skin Tightening

November 26, 2018 Posted by Ozmosis Spa in Ozmosis Spa Blog 0

Radio frequency treatments are used to heat up and tighten tissues to increase the flow of blood and to break down fat and cellulite by using radio frequency devices. The radio frequency energy breaks down fatty cells without damaging the skin.

With deep heating of the fatty layers, RF treatment boosts blood circulation and tightens the skin tissues by breaking down fatty deposits.

This drains out from the lymphatic system thereby resulting in reduced appearance of cellulite.

This process stimulates collagen production which improves skin elasticity. RF treatment is used to reduce the extra fat on hips, stomach and thighs and even to tighten saggy skin caused by pregnancy or weight loss.

Best of all, this treatment is totally safe!

How Radio Frequency Technology Works?

Radio frequency devices used in the skin tightening treatment use radio waves so as to make water molecules vibrate within the tissues. This vibration causes friction which further produces heat. Heat then shrinks the collagen fibers, which causes skin tightening. The radio waves are delivered deeply to penetrate through the skin into the fat and this ruptures the fat cells and extrudes their contents. In this way, shrinkage of the fat cells takes place which further reduces the thickness of the fatty skin layer. It is important to note here that no fat cells are actually destroyed or removed during the procedure.

How Many Sessions Are Recommended for Radio Frequency Skin Treatment and Maintenance?

For cases that require only mild tightening, desired results can be expected within three to six sessions. Usually, doctors suggest 6 to 10 treatment sessions for most beneficial results but they may vary depending on the area to be treated and the reaction of skin to the treatment. Treatment sessions are generally held at the interval of one to two weeks. Maintenance after every six months of the initial treatment is advised to maintain the results. Older people with more sagginess to consider may require 10 to 15 treatments or more to get satisfactory results.

How Is the Treatment Done?

Depending on your pain tolerance, practitioner applies an anesthetic cream to the area to be treated to numb the skin. After that your practitioner will deliver the targeted RF energy across the treatment area. Once completed, a cold pack or a soothing gel will be applied to your skin.

Do’s and Don’ts before and after the RF Treatment

Don’t do anything that irritates your skin just before the treatment. For example, sunbathing can burn your skin that may become worse with further exposure to radio frequency for skin tightening.
Some people may experience mild redness immediately after the treatment but usually this disappears quickly. Since no external wounds are created most people can return to normal activity and work immediately after the procedure.
Patients are usually advice to use certain soothing creams, gels or lotions to apply gently to the treated area. Cool moisturizing mists will also work well in some cases.

What Is a Radio Frequency Facial & What Are Its Benefits?

The field of radio frequency facial technology has expanded over the past few years. New skin tightening devices use radiofrequency to effectively tighten and rejuvenate the facial skin. Basically, this radio frequency for tightening skin technique combines two RF modes in one device and delivers two treatments in one. Both unipolar and bipolar are used, focusing radio frequency on both shallow as well as deep tissue depths. One of these treats thinner skin and the other penetrates deeper into dermal and sub dermal tissues. This effective and advanced technology can also be used to treat a large number of aesthetic conditions. This is a painless skin rejuvenation treatment and requires no anesthesia.

Facial Treatment – lifting and toning – (25 min.)

Therma-lifting – RF, radio frequency / IR, infrared light

This treatment uses radio frequency and infrared light – it is often called ‘lifting without a scalpel’. Radio frequency heats skin cells and stimulates fibroblasts – skin cells required for the regeneration of collagen fibers. The elimination of slack skin is the result: skin gets denser, tighter and smoother. For best results a course of 6-10 treatments every 4 weeks is recommended.

Expected results

Skin tightening, overall face and jaw line tightening, elimination of slack skin on face and neck, eye bags and crow’s feet reduction, rebuilding of collagen, impurities reduction. Tightened skin, impurities, wrinkles, eye bags & crow’s feet reduced. Slack skin elimination and rebuild of collagen. Treatment recommended prophylactically for those aged 25-30 (one treatment a month). A course of facial treatments is recommended for those aged 35 plus.

Facial lifting – around the eyes area/RF:

This non-invasive treatment is an excellent alternative to invasive rejuvenation therapies. Collagen fibers are subjected to radio frequency. Subjected to heat, collagen undergoes denaturation which causes the shrinkage and shortening of collagen fibers. This in turn leads to the formation of new collagen and as a consequence the rebuilding of cells. A specific head movement raises the collagen fibers. Lifting and tightening of the skin is the immediate result. The treatment can be administered on the following body areas (15 – 20 min. for each body area recommended: around the eyes, face, neck and neckline.

Contraindications:

Sensory disorders (Algaesthesia, inability to feel heat or cold), hyperthyroidism, glaucoma, implants around the face area, metal fillings, golden thread (for up to two years after operation), diabetes, skin disorders (inflammation, scratches, cuts) infectious diseases, pregnancy, pacemaker, high blood pressure (extreme cases), active tumors, cancer, consultation with doctor required after cancer treatment.

After treatment:

Use of moisturizer and drinking 2 liters of water a day during treatment are recommended.
