Our Radio Frequency facial maximizes the safest and most potent skin-tightening feature offered in a non-surgical application. During this facial, our clinician applies a device using radio waves to generate controlled heat in the skin's deeper layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, tighter skin with reduced wrinkles and improved textures. Perfect clients who are looking to improve signs of aging and sun damage. The radio frequency, typically around 450 kilohertz, converts to thermal energy and creates small “injuries” to the lower levels of the skin that prompt particular tissue repair and clotting. It is safe for all skin types due to the minimal damage and melanin changes.
The overall objective of a Radio Frequency facial is to reach the dermal (deeper) skin layer to promote skin tightening. This facial treatment can create a "nonsurgical facelift," firming and lifting sagging skin. After several treatments (recommended every month for 3-6 months), can be similar to a surgical facelift (although these results are temporary and fade over time).
Radio Frequency facial includes: double gentle facial cleanse, combination diamond microdermabrasion with hydrodermabrasion - offering a comprehensive skincare treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and hydrates the skin, oxygen infused serums (boosting, skin brightening or skin revitalization - depending on skin condition) are sprayed on skin, non-injection mesotherapy applied to aid serum penetration, followed by radio frequency (also known as electroporation) applying gentle pulses of electrical current, to aid serum absorption, with final step to include cooling cryotherapy therapy to lock in moisture and serums. All of our facials are finished with an application of sunscreen (SPF) to protect the newly exposed skin from sun damage. Facials, especially those involving exfoliation or other treatments, can leave skin more sensitive and vulnerable to sun and exposing freshly scrubbed or treated skin to the sun can increase the risk of sunburn, discoloration, and other sun-related skin issues.
Depending on skin type, maintenance and custom protocols, one or a combination of our serums, are selected for each Radio Frequency facial treatment.
Serums include:
Oxytight - applied for skin repair
Luminox - applied for skin brightening
Revitaox - applied for skin revitalizing
Vitaluster - applied for skin hydration
Duration: 60 minutes
Downtime: Minimal to none
Contraindications: Pregnancy and metal in face.
There are a bunch of different RF treatments, and depending on the level of energy they give off and the depth at which they penetrate skin, each one can provide different results. Some RF facials are more gentle and work superficially for a more instant—but short-term.
Other RF treatments (machines such as Morpheus and Fontana) are more intense. These in-office procedures are higher intensity, delivering more noticeable and longer-lasting lifting and tightening results. These treatments are considered more aggressive and have exponentially greater cost.
Radio frequency energy has been found to stimulate fibroblast cells responsible for producing collagen, thus creating a skin tightening effect, leading to an improvement in skin elasticity and a reduction in wrinkles.
