RadioFrequency is fast becoming one of the most popular non-injectable aesthetic treatments on the market today and is the perfect way to get your skin glowing this summer.

HOW DOES RADIOFREQUENCY WORK?

Radiofrequency can be used on the face and body and uses controlled electrical currents to deliver heat into the dermis which then stimulates the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. Collagen and elastin levels decrease in the skin with ageing causing skin to become thinner, looser and more saggy. Radiofrequency treatment is perfect for restoring structure, strength and elasticity to ageing skin. Radiofrequency also improves the micro-circulation of the skin, improving blood flow and giving skin a healthy glow.

WHAT DOES THE PROCEDURE INVOLVE?

Radiofrequency treatment takes around an hour depending on the area being treated. It is completely painless and is a very relaxing treatment. The skin will be thoroughly cleansed then a cream will be applied to the area being treated to help conduct energy into the skin. The handpiece will be used to gently build the heat in the skin to the right therapeutic temperature. This will feel very warm but is comfortable and soothing. Afterwards your skin will be a bit pink and flushed but will this subside very quickly (usually within a few hours).

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Immediately after treatment your will see a lifting, tightening effect and your skin will be glowing and healthy. This result will last for a few days to a week but for long lasting results we recommend a course of treatment. At Halo Aesthetics we normally recommend a course of 6 treatments at weekly intervals then a maintenance session every 6-8 weeks. This will give you long lasting results that are easy to maintain.
