Reducing the Signs of Ageing Without Surgery

As we age, our skin loses its laxity and firmness and develops fine lines and wrinkles. It isn’t uncommon to want to maintain a youthful appearance, but naturally, our bodies will begin to show changes as collagen and elastin production slows.

Taking care of your skin from a young age with a proper at-home skincare routine is one way to prevent fine lines and age spots from developing, however, in-office treatments are the most effective way to improve age-related concerns.

How Does Radiofrequency Therapy Work?

Radiofrequency therapy is often referred to as radiofrequency skin tightening as it can help your skin appear “tighter” by improving its elasticity. The treatment involves using radiofrequency energy waves to heat the dermis or the deep layer of your skin. The heat stimulates the production of collagen, which gives your skin its natural firmness and elasticity.

The device used will release electromagnetic waves into your skin, heating it between 50 and 75°C (122 – 167°F). Maintaining a temperature over 46°C (115°F) for over 3 minutes causes your body to release heat-shock proteins, which stimulates new collagen fibres.
