Aesthetic radiofrequency is a non-invasive treatment that uses electromagnetic waves to heat tissue and stimulate collagen production, improving the appearance of the skin. It is used to treat skin laxity, wrinkles, cellulite and localized fat, both on the face and body. The treatment is generally painless and does not require recovery time.
How it works: Aesthetic radiofrequency uses the heat generated by electromagnetic waves to reach the deepest layers of the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, proteins essential for skin tone and elasticity. This process helps reduce wrinkles, firm the skin and improve the overall appearance.
Benefits
- Reduction of wrinkles and skin laxity: Radiofrequency stimulates the production of collagen, which helps smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
- Improved cellulite and localized fat: The heat generated by radiofrequency can help dissolve fat deposits and improve circulation, helping to reduce cellulite and reshape the body.
- Skin toning: The treatment helps improve the tone and elasticity of the skin, making it firmer and more compact.
- Natural lifting effect: Collagen stimulation can produce a natural lifting effect, improving the contour of the face and body.
Differences between aesthetic and medical radiofrequency
Although both techniques use electromagnetic waves, aesthetic radiofrequency is generally performed by aesthetic operators with less powerful machinery compared to medical radiofrequency, which is performed by aesthetic doctors with more advanced devices. This results in slightly different results: medical radiofrequency, with its greater power, can offer more evident and long-lasting results, but it also has a higher cost.
Contraindications and precautions
Aesthetic radiofrequency is generally considered safe, but there are some contraindications to take into account, including: pregnancy and breastfeeding, presence of pacemakers or other implantable devices, skin infections or open wounds, tumors or carcinomas.
It is always advisable to consult a qualified professional to evaluate whether aesthetic radiofrequency is suitable for your specific case and to receive personalized indications.
