Not many skin treatments can boast instant results. Radiofrequency (RF) Skin-Tightening is one of those rare gems that visibly plumps the skin and leaves you radiant after each and every session. That’s not even the best part.

Our clients love RF because its skin-tightening benefits continue long after the treatment is finished. In fact, with each session you can enjoy cumulative rejuvenating effects and gradual improvement that builds over time.

Read on to learn how RF technology works and why you should incorporate it into your anti-aging beauty routine all year round..

What is Radiofrequency and How Does it Rejuvenate Your Skin?

Radiofrequency is a proven, safe and highly effective procedure that directs heat deep into your dermal layers. But it’s not just any ordinary heat.Preview Changes (opens in a new window)

Rather, it’s a precise application of highly controlled medical-grade RF energy that penetrates your skin at a specific depth and temperature. In other words it’s very targeted, designed for cellular regeneration and skin-tightening.

The RF energy heats up the layers of dermal tissue where collagen may have become denatured, or not as robust or firm as it used to be, and gives it an energetic boost. Over time new collagen is produced, resulting in firmer, tighter skin with more improved facial contours.

Immediate Plumpness, Circulation and Glow

Radiofrequency feels like a warm, gentle massage on your skin. Yes, it’s really that pleasant and comfortable. The warmth and stimulation generated by the RF device improves blood circulation deep in the dermal tissues. It’s what give your skin natural radiance and shine, all with zero downtime.

Plumping the skin with RF energy also attracts moisture and vibrancy to the skin’s surface. Immediately after treatment your skin looks more lifted and glowing, with no irritation or pain. The best part about RF is that your youthful glow will continue for the rest of the day into the evening, in case you have a party or special event.

Radiofrequency for Long-Term Skin-Tightening

Are you concerned about the loss of skin laxity around your lower face, especially under the chin and jawline? A series of six to eight sessions spaced one week apart can tighten and firm areas that are starting to succumb to the effects of gravity. If you’re bothered by sagging skin then you’ll love what RF can do.

The beauty of RF is that with each session the natural collagen levels in your skin increase, improving your skin’s support structures and giving you a more taut and youthful appearance. In fact, many of our patients notice that after they complete their initial series of 6 to 8 treatments, improvements in firmness and contouring continue to last for years.

Combine RF with Dermal Fillers for the Non-Surgical “Swan RF SoftLift™”

For more dramatic results we recommend RF treatments in combination with dermal filler, our propriety “Swan RF SoftLift™” (exclusively available only at the Brockville MediSpa). 

Softlifting aims to smooth away small lines and wrinkles, regain lost volume to the cheeks, enhance the contours of the face and restores facial balance. Radiofrequency improves skin firmness and collagen quality but may not necessarily give you enough volume to augment advanced deflation in the cheeks, jawline or other areas of the face.

To lift sagging skin we’ve had great success using Juvederm products like Volift, Voluma and the latest Volux to sculpt and contour the face after your skin has been tightened with RF. Keep in mind that we don’t normally perform both treatments on the same day so appointments will have to be booked separately.

Give us a call at 613-342-0220 to find out more about Radiofrequency treatments and if they’re right for you, and to learn of any special offers here at the Brockville MediSpa. We invite you to book a personalized consultation with Dr. Steyn. Look better without looking different!
