Dual Radio Frequency Skin Tightening

Dual Radio Frequency (RF) energy is directed onto the skin through an optical gel which is applied before the treatment. RF works by heating the dermis (lower) layer of your skin between 38-42 degrees Celsius without affecting the epidermis (surface layer). This procedure is very gradual and gentle so the skin has maximum protection during the treatment.

The brain interprets this delivery of heat to the dermis as being a perceived injury/trauma and triggers our body’s natural reparative and wound healing response. The body responds to this by stimulating collagen production and, the  elastin fibres to contract and spring together, just like a spring does when released from a stretched position causing skin tightening or tissue retraction. Fresh blood supply to the area increases, flooding it with oxygen and nutrients.  Increased lymphatic drainage enhances the removal of toxins, reducing oedema/swelling. All this promotes general skin health rejuvenation including lifting, contouring and tightening of the skin as well as helping acne and scarring.

Dual Radio Frequency is a completely safe and non-invasive treatment ideal for clients ranging in age from 20’s to 80+, both men and women of all skin colours. It is especially popular with clients over the age of 35, which is generally when the body’s collagen production begins to drop rapidly.

RF stimulates the body’s own natural response to repair and regenerate the skin. You can relax and enjoy the ‘me-time’ while the treatment occurs! Clients report feeling pleasantly warm and comfortable, just like experiencing an enjoyable hot stone massage.Your skin may appear flushed after which subsides within an hour or so. Excellent at restoring elasticity, smoothing out the fine lines and wrinkles and bringing about a more youthful looking complexion, it is also used to help with acne and acne scarring.

Note: This treatment is not suitable for:

• Pregnant ladies
• Lactating mothers
• Anyone with a contagious disease, cancer/ tumours
• Clients with heart conditions / cardiac pacemakers.
• For botox one has to wait for 3 months from date of injectable
• For fillers 3 weeks from date of injectable

Your suitability for this treatment will be determined by your skin clinician during your initial consultation.

Many clients see a noticeable improvement after just one treatment. The skin looks smoother, fresher, firmer, and more lifted and will continue to improve as time passes. Results are often more noticeable by family and friends after a few treatments all the while looking completely natural.

As Dual Radio Frequency provides genuine long-lasting improvement at a cellular level, the best results become visible 3 months after the completion of the treatment series as the cumulative effects of collagen maturing and elastin tightening remodels the dermis thus rebuilding the skin foundation.

After the recommended series of treatments, the skin’s condition improves dramatically with a healthy, lifted, contoured, youthful and more vibrant appearance, thus bringing life back to sallow, dull complexions and lax, ageing skin, as well as eradicating fine lines and wrinkles. Collagen and elastin stimulation and maturation help reduce acne and acne scarring.

Results depend on individual skin laxity and condition, which is usually dependent on age, skincare routine, diet and lifestyle factors. A regular skincare routine with a healthy diet and lifestyle together with a regular maintenance treatment is highly recommended as the process of natural ageing never stops.

To obtain the best, long-lasting and visible results, a series of treatments is recommended so as to provide progressive and cumulative stimulation to the skin and further enhance results and longevity. In your initial consultation, we will analyse your skin concerns and then recommend the best course of action. As a general guide we usually recommend:

• A series of 6 – 10 treatments, however this depends on the age and skin condition/laxity
• Clients can have one-off treatment for a special event
• For long-lasting results (up to 2 years depending on age and lifestyle) a series will be needed
• For maximum results in older clients (60 years and above), a second treatment series may be required after the first
• Similar to keeping our body muscles toned with regular exercising, a top-up treatment will help in maintaining the longevity of the achieved results
• Recommended treatment intervals are once fortnightly. With a longer gap between treatment the results take a little longer to come through

None. Dual Radio Frequency is a safe and non-invasive treatment that does not compromise the integrity of the skin. The skin may appear a bit flushed immediately after the treatment, but this subsides in an hour or so. Make-up may be applied immediately afterwards, which makes it a perfect lunch-time treatment for the busy person who cannot afford to have any downtime, as it allows you to get straight back into your normal routine.

As Dual Radio Frequency treatment works at a cellular level, the results achieved after a series of treatments are long lasting (18 months to 2 years depending on individual age, lifestyle, diet and skin condition). Regular maintenance is thereafter recommended for the longevity of the achieved results as the natural ageing process is always progressing.

The condition of the skin and individual lifestyle including diet, exercise and regular skincare routine play an important part in extending the longevity of results. Post-treatment homecare serums are highly recommended, as well as keeping the body well hydrated with 1 – 2 litres of water daily.

On their own, all of our treatments deliver effective results. When combined in a complementary multi-treatment program (Super-Charged Combination Therapy), they work at different levels within your skin to deliver visibly superior, more effective, targeted and longer-lasting results.

To ensure the best results, you must follow the correct Pre and Post-Care instructions.
