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.
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 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.
