RADIO FREQUENCY TREATMENT AT A GLANCE
WHAT IT DOES: Radio frequency is a form of energy transmitted via electromagnetic waves creating friction that becomes heat. The temperature can be directed at adipose tissue (fat), raising the temperature to destroy fat cells. Radiofrequency may also be delivered in short, intense pulses that oscillate through the skin resulting in a deep thermal heat to trigger collagen re-formatting (skin tightening) and production of new collagen and elastin.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The use of radio frequency for non-surgical skin tightening is widespread and an attractive option for patients looking for maximum results with minimal downtime. However, much like any procedure delivering a concentrated dose of energy, radio frequency can result in unwanted side effects such as burns and unwanted fat loss. However, this risk can be almost completely avoided simply by choosing a clinician with extensive experience and knowledge in the radio frequency treatment you are considering.
