Radiofrequency

 

Radiofrequency is one of the latest advances in medicine. It is one of the few

non-invasive and painless procedure designed to improve both lax facial skin as body. Fortnightly or monthly sessions lasting a few minutes, the patient can immediately return their social or work activity smoothly. 

 

The great innovation of radio is that it does not damage the epidermis (outermost layer of skin); only generates significant heat in the middle layer of the dermis causing contraction of this form of the collagen fibers. This shrinkage leads to a shortening of the length of these fibers and thus allows lifting and sagging or and / or sagging tissues. Further heating generated stimulates dermal fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin fibers, thickening the dermis and improving further the result. 

 

The treatment lasts approximately 40 minutes. A head that transmits radio frequency in the treatment areas and moving in the direction in which you want to cause the removal or shortening of collagen fibers is applied. Turn the computer has a system cools the transducer tip decreasing the sensation of heat, allowing the process to be enjoyable. 

 

Upon completion of treatment a slight redness or erythema that lasts a few minutes is presented. The patient can return to their social and working lives and can even sunbathe. 

 

When the radio frequency is applied, the result is a smoother skin and a clear reduction of wrinkles and sagging. The feeling of braces is immediate, the effect of stress seen in gradually and progressively from the month of treatment and the results typically last about two years. 

 

It can also be performed maintenance session after a few months when doctor and patient deem necessary. 

 

This treatment is ideal for those who have a slight sagging skin of the face and neck, but do not yet need a surgical facelift. 

 

The radio also applied in the treatment of sagging that occurs in other locations, such as the inside of the arms and thighs, abdomen and buttocks. Currently RF for the treatment of the periocular area was used.
