Radio-Frequency Skin Tightening















Radio frequency skin tightening is an aesthetic technique that uses RF energy to heat tissue and stimulate subdermal collagen production in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines and loose skin.
Radio-frequency to tighten skin remains a common and popular approach. Many devices exist that treat the skin with radio-frequency. 

Skin Tightening Options


Within the non-surgical space, many devices utilize radio-frequency. However, other technologies exist that use other forms of energy including laser and infrared. The commonality between all non-invasive skin tightening devices is the generation of heat in tissue. 

Radio-frequency Skin Tightening


Of the non-surgical treatment devices that exist, many use radio-frequency. Radio-frequency works by heating the skin. The available devices differ in how they deliver radio-frequency to the skin, but they all strive to deliver enough energy to the skin to heat it to a certain temperature.

The dermis, which is the second layer of skin, is full of collagen.  Collagen also exists deeper in the fat layer within strands that weave between fat providing support for this layer. Upon heating collagen, skin tightens because of immediate collagen fiber contraction, and also from delayed new collagen formation.

Hidden Benefit


Whether results are minimal or modest, a major benefit of radio-frequency skin tightening is that treatment induces collagen. Even if not enough collagen is produced to tighten skin, healthy collagen is beneficial. At the very least, it may slow the signs of aging. In other words, radio-frequency skin tightening treatments may be preventative.
