RF Skin Tightening
RF Skin Tightening is a fourth-generation treatment that is used for skin tightening to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles through non-invasive methods.
Using a patented Monopolar Capacitive Radiofrequency technology, it creates a uniform heating effect in the deep and collagen-rich layers of the skin.

About RF Skin Tightening
The gentle heating tightens and remodels the existing collagen matrix while stimulates the production of new collagen thus, resulting in an immediate lifting effect.
A well-defined three-dimensional skin contour will be achieved, all with little-to-no downtime!
How Does It Work?
As we age, collagen in our skin gradually breaks down and leads to the formation of fine lines, wrinkles, skin sagging and loosening.
However, the RF Skin Tightening treatment uses radiofrequency technology to heat the deep and collagen-rich layers of the skin, causing the existing collagen matrix to contract and encourages new collagen to regenerate.
Over four to six months, visible tightening results can be seen immediately and will continue to improve.
Who Is Suitable For This Treatment?
The treatment is suitable for patients who are looking to achieve smoother and tighter skin with less sagging, a more defined jawline and chin contour, to softened wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth, eyes, forehead and knees, and firmer skin around the neck, arms and buttocks.
Additionally, the RF Skin Tightening treatment works on:
The Eyes
Treating the upper and lower eyelids to give you a more youthful and rested appearance.
The Face
Smoothens lines and wrinkles, and remodels collagen for the overall health of the skin.
The Body
Smoothens the skin on our bodies and temporarily improves the appearance of cellulite.
How Long Does Each Treatment Take?
Patients will first be prepped for about 30 minutes before the commencement of the procedure. Treatment will take an average of 45 minutes for the face and up to an hour and a half for other parts of the body, depending on the size, location and condition of the treated area.
Does the treatment have any downtime?
The non-invasive treatment has no downtime. However, not all patients are alike. While some of you may experience slight redness or minor swelling, which will last for about 24 hours, many of you will be able to get back to your normal daily routine immediately after the treatment.
RF Skin Tightening treatment is a non-invasive facelift procedure which helps to tighten and contour the skin in as little as one treatment, without undergoing surgery, injections and for little to no downtime.
As it stimulates the body’s natural renewal of collagen, it also creates a subtle and natural-looking result on the face and body. Without needles or surgery, the treatment safely and gently heats the skin to help tighten loose or sagging skin and fills in fine lines and wrinkles.
Additionally, the treatment uses an advanced form of technology to not only tighten the surface of the skin (for smoothening) but also underneath the skin (for lifting and contouring).
RF Skin Tightening for Face & Neck
Utilizing patented, FDA-cleared technology, RF Skin Tightening treatment administers controlled heat into the skin, reviving existing collagen and promoting the production of new collagen. This process results in visibly smoother and tighter skin on the face and neck.
Benefits
- Smoothes and tightens skin
- Contours along the jaw line and sagging skin under the chin (i.e. “turkey neck”)
- Softens wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and forehead
RF Skin Tightening for Eyes
RF Skin Tightening offers a non-invasive solution for rejuvenating the delicate skin around the eyes. By smoothing and tightening the skin and reducing wrinkles and hooding, it enhances the overall appearance of the eye area without the need for surgery, injections, or downtime.
Benefits
- Reduces crepiness around the eye
- Reduces hooding (the brow area is tightened to reveal more eyelid for brighter, more refreshed eyes)
- Tauter contours around the eye
- Reduces under-eye bags
- Softens fine lines and crow’s feet
- Smoothes skin of the eyelids making it easier to apply eye makeup.
Treatment Procedure
During the treatment, your eyes will be protected with small, plastic eye shields. There will be no bruising, swelling or sutures, and patients will be able to resume normal daily routine upon the completion of the treatment.
RF Skin Tightening is an attractive option for patients who want younger-looking, lifted eyes that look less tired without undergoing an invasive surgical facelifting treatment.
