RF skin tightening has been successfully used in aesthetic medicine due to its efficacy, safety and proven clinical results. It is an effective treatment for improving the appearance of loose skin and cellulite.

This treatment works by painlessly delivering heat to the tissues under the skin surface, triggering the natural production of collagen and elastin. The result is skin that looks tighter, smoother and rejuvenated.

RF skin tightening treatments are perfect for those with slight to moderate skin laxity due to pregnancy, weight loss or aging.  Areas that are most commonly treated are the abdomen, buttocks, legs, neck and arms.

Important Preparations

It is important to avoid anything that will irritate your skin 24 hours before and after treatment, such as tanning, waxing or intensive exfoliation. A client coming in with irritated skin, such as from a sun burn, will not be treated, as they would be more likely to suffer pain and further irritation from the addition of heat to the already damaged skin. Some women also find that their skin is more sensitive right before and during their menstrual cycle.

Contraindications

Although RF skin tightening is a safe, comfortable and non-invasive procedure, it is not for everyone. Contraindications include:

  • Pregnancy (current)
  • Cancer
  • Medical plastic or metal implants
  • Loss of sensation
  • Acute inflammation, trauma and bleeding
  • Uncontrolled diabetes
  • Pacemaker

* If you have a medical condition and are unsure whether our treatments are safe for you we recommend getting a doctor’s note clearing you to receive your procedures.*
