One of the causes of ageing is the natural loss of skin elasticity due to decreased collagen production, which, in turn, leads to wrinkles, sagging, and necklace lines.
There are a number of factors that cause loose skin. Genetics, sun damage, and significant weight loss can also cause damage to our skin’s collagen fibres. What these factors do is cause damage to your body’s collagen fibres reducing the number of collagen-producing cells.
Our Radio Frequency Skin Tightening treatments use heat to boost collagen and elastin production naturally. They work by heating the tissue under the skin’s surface, which tightens the skin, stimulates collagen and elastin production, and improves circulation and lymphatic drainage in the treated area.
The heating process tightens, lifts and frames the face, while reducing fine lines and wrinkles, resulting in a fresher, more youthful look.
Before the treatment can start, we will assess your current state of the skin. If you are visiting us for the first time, please allow an additional hour for our complete Facial Imaging Skin Assessment.
The Skin Tightening procedure is quick and pleasant and feels like a hot stone massage on your face. Your Skin Therapist will use a special handheld device with several prods to trace over your entire face.
You will experience a little redness after treatment due to the heat used. However, you can go about your day immediately and resume wearing makeup 24 hours after treatment.
The number of sessions will depend on your individual skin program but is typically 3-4 sessions, every 4-6 weeks. Speak to your Skin Therapist to determine the right treatment program for you.
A Facial Imaging Skin Assessment is an essential first step in your skin correction journey. That’s why we offer a complimentary skin consultation with your first skin treatment.
