The impact of radiofrequency technology on the skin
Collagen stimulation: RF technology heats the dermal layers of the skin, causing controlled damage to the existing collagen fibres. This triggers a natural wound-healing response, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin fibres. The increased collagen helps improve skin firmness, elasticity, and overall texture, reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
Skin tightening: The heat generated by RF technology induces immediate collagen contraction and remodelling. This immediate tightening effect improves the appearance of sagging or loose skin, particularly on the face and neck. With repeated treatments, cumulative collagen stimulation can lead to long-term skin tightening effects.
Wrinkle reduction: By stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity, RF technology can significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It helps to smooth out the skin's surface and minimise the depth of wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Improved skin texture and tone: RF treatments improve overall skin texture by reducing the visibility of pores, refining the skin's surface, and promoting a smoother complexion. Additionally, the increased collagen production can help even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and sun damage.
Scar reduction: RF technology has been utilised to treat certain types of scars, including acne and surgical scars. The controlled heating of the skin helps break down scar tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen, improving scar appearance and texture.
