MICRO-CURRENT SKIN TIGHTENING
RADIO FREQUENCY SKIN TIGHTENING
With the introduction of cryogenics, it is possible to deliver RF energy to the deep dermis and sub-dermal layers of the skin, whilst protecting the epidermis. Heating in this area, without damaging the outer layers of skin, causes microscopic changes to the tissues and collagen contraction, with subsequent collagen remodeling over the months that pass. liquid collagen and peptides are deeply penetrated into the skin.
By applying RF energy to the human body, which can conduct current and therefore act as part of the electrical circuit, any resistance encountered by the energy flow will cause heat to be produced at the site of maximum resistance, which can also be used to cut or congulate tissue. RF energy, when used for skin tightening, is able to penetrate deep into the skin and affect the deeper dermis and subcutaneous layers, causing tightening and improvements to the underlying tissue structure.
Radio frequency is commonly used to treat the forehead, lifting of brows and forehead tightening, under eye bags, cheeks, jawline (removing jowls) and tightening of the neck.
if there is a significant amount of sagging skin, often seen in older patients over sixty, this procedure may not show a significant enough improvement and a traditional mid-face, face or brow lift operation may be recommended in order to remove the excess skin, therefore achieving a better result.
During Radio frequency skin tightening, the following Medik8 products are penetrated into the deep layers:
Retionol; also known as Vitamin A improves skin texture, minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and balances uneven skin tone.
Vitamin C; Helps restore radiance and improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The active ingredients in Vitamin C help to combat sun and pollution-induced damage. Visibly brightening the complexion and balancing skin tone.
Peptides/Collagen gel; One of the forerunners in cutting-edge skincare science, peptides are proven to be truly powerful. Peptides are strings of amino acids which act as skin cell communicators, triggering your skin to visibly repair and rejuvenate.
Radio Frequency skin tightening can be used as a one off treatment. However, for maximum results a course of 6 is generaly recommended for clients. RF can be used to help maintain the results of other clinical treatments including HIFU, Microdermabrasion.
