Radiofrequency
What is Radiofrequency?
Radiofrequency (RF) is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses energy waves to heat the deeper layers of the skin. This heat stimulates collagen and elastin production, which are essential for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity.
At Clinic Consultation, our radiofrequency treatments are performed using advanced technology, ensuring safe and effective results. It is a popular choice for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their skin, reduce sagging, and improve overall skin texture without surgery.
What is Radiofrequency Used For?
Radiofrequency is primarily used to tighten the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and contour specific areas of the face and body. It is also effective in improving the appearance of cellulite, enhancing skin texture, and stimulating lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness.
In addition to its cosmetic benefits, radiofrequency can be used for post-surgical recovery, helping to minimise swelling and improve scar appearance. At Clinic Consultation, we tailor radiofrequency treatments to target your specific skin and body concerns.
What is the Effect of Radiofrequency?
The primary effect of radiofrequency is firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. By stimulating collagen production, it enhances skin elasticity and reduces sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines. The procedure also improves circulation and promotes cell renewal, leaving the skin radiant and revitalised.
Results are both immediate and progressive, with skin continuing to improve over several weeks as collagen rebuilds. At Clinic Consultation, our goal is to deliver natural, long-lasting enhancements that boost confidence and restore skin vitality.
Does Radiofrequency Have Any Contraindications?
While radiofrequency is safe for most individuals, there are some contraindications:
- Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: RF treatments are not recommended during these periods.
- Active Skin Infections: Conditions like acne or rosacea should be addressed before treatment.
- Metal Implants: Individuals with pacemakers or metal implants in the treatment area may not be suitable.
- Severe Skin Sensitivity: RF may not be appropriate for highly sensitive skin types.
- Autoimmune Diseases: Conditions like lupus may increase sensitivity to treatment.
At Clinic Consultation, we conduct thorough consultations to ensure the procedure is safe and effective for every patient.
How is the Radiofrequency Procedure Performed?
The radiofrequency procedure begins with a consultation to determine the treatment areas and desired outcomes. A specialised device is then used to deliver controlled RF energy to the targeted areas. The sensation is often described as a warm, relaxing massage.
Each session typically lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. No anaesthesia is required, and there is no downtime, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately. At Clinic Consultation, we prioritise patient comfort and use cutting-edge equipment for optimal results.
