The goal of radiofrequency is to emit heat into the dermis or hypodermis without causing lesions on the skin’s surface.

In the dermis, the heat stimulates fibroblasts and boosts collagen production to firm the skin.

This is the principle of “neo-collagenesis,” essential for combating aging and skin laxity.

When used deeper in the hypodermis, radiofrequency causes shrinkage offat cells, or adipocytes, to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Micro-needle radiofrequency causes an intense heat sensation.

A numbing cream is appliedbefore the session to reduce discomfort associated with the needles.

The duration of a session depends on the areas being treated.

On average, a treatment lasts from 20 to 45 minutes. After asession, slight redness of the skin is visible for a few hours or days.

The aim of fractionated radiofrequency is to progressively renew the skin’s surface to reduce wrinkles, spots, enlarged pores, scars, or stretch marks. This is the principle of skin rejuvenation or “resurfacing.” The heat emitted by radiofrequency creates small lesions on the skin’s surface in the epidermis.

These lesions trigger a regeneration response, and new, higher-quality skin replaces the old. Fractionation means that the lesioned surface is limited in each session, and alarge part of the skin remains intact to shorten healing time and reduce the risk of wounds.

Fractionated radiofrequency causes small lesions similar to tiny burns the size of a needle head.

The treatment causes a burning sensation and can be painful. Generally, a numbing cream is applied before the session, but it’s not always necessary.

The duration of the treatment dependson the size of the area being treated and can last from 15 to 60 minutes.

After a session, the skinis red and slightly swollen. In the following days, the skin gradually regenerates, redness fades,and tiny scabs form where the skin was burned.
After a week, the skin is fully healed.

Each radiofrequency session has a stimulating or regenerating effect on the skin, but multiple sessions are required to see significant improvement. Generally, 2 to 4 micro-needle radiofrequency sessions with intervals of 4 to 6 weeks between sessions are needed. For fractionated radiofrequency, 4 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart are recommended.

Then maintenance sessions are advised every 3 to 6 months to maintain skin stimulation as needed.

Radiofrequency is not dangerous to health.

However, there are contraindications to the treatment, such as having a pacemaker or other metallic or electronic objects, a history of melanoma or abnormal scarring, and taking certain medications.

Additionally, radiofrequency requires individualized settings to avoid risks of burns, pigmentation changes, or scarring.

Yes, the results are completely natural as radiofrequency acts on skin quality. The face does not change, but skin quality visibly improves.
