We know that, after the age of 30, the skin becomes sagging, wrinkles and blemishes. This is a natural process caused by reduced cellular activity of fibroblasts, the main cells responsible for collagen production, which is the component that keeps the skin young and firm. Although this is a natural process, some factors will contribute to an accelerated decrease in the cellular activity of fibroblasts, such as stress, ultraviolet radiation, pollution, processed food, tobacco, medications, among others. Radiofrequency can help reverse these effects by stimulating fibroblasts. Shall we understand better?

Currently, there are several techniques for stimulating fibroblasts, such as Sculptra, Ultralift and Ultraformer III. Another non-surgical option is Radiofrequency, a treatment that stimulates, through radiofrequency waves, the production of more collagen and elastin fibers, giving more support and firmness to the skin.

One of the great advantages of this treatment is that it can be combined with other techniques, such as Botox or Peelings, so that its effects are longer lasting, as long as the specialist indicates it and after the regulatory time recommended in each case.

Treatment - Radiofrequency

The equipment used in Radio Frequency rejuvenates the skin through the action of the heat generated and which penetrates the tissues of the deepest layers of the skin. This heat immediately achieves the stretching of the skin tissue, reducing the signs of aging, leaving the skin smoother, especially in the malar, mandibular and neck areas.

Radiofrequency: What else you need to know about the procedure

Radiofrequency treatment is painless and very safe. It is performed by a therapist in the office after a previous medical evaluation to detect any pathology that contraindicates it. The treatment is carried out without anesthesia and takes about thirty minutes to an hour.

In terms of recovery, it is practically immediate. This means that the patient can resume their normal day-to-day activities right after the treatment.

It is important to note that Radiofrequency is not intended to replace surgery, but is an alternative for those who are in a mild or moderate sagging stage.

Common questions

As a rule, with two sessions you can already see results in improving the quality of the skin. However, for a more visible rejuvenating effect, three or more sessions are required.

The cost of the treatment will vary according to the level of flaccidity of the patient and the size of the area to be treated. In this sense, an evaluation consultation is necessary in order to obtain a personalized quote.

Patients experience a brief, intense sensation of heat as the inner layers of the skin are contracted. To protect the skin and make the treatment more comfortable, a built-in cooling system is used before, during and after each radiofrequency application.

Studies show that between 2 and 6 months after a single treatment session, appreciable improvements in skin smoothness appear. However, many patients begin to see results before this time.

Radiofrequency, like any other aesthetic procedure, does not have the ability to promote the same effect as a surgical facelift. The advantage of the procedure is that it is non-invasive and promotes natural effects.

It can and, in many cases, is advised. If you have very deep wrinkles or many dynamic wrinkles, it may be necessary to combine hyaluronic acid and Botox applications.
