Radio Frequency
WHAT IS RADIO FREQUENCY TECHNOLOGY?
This facial treatment delivers Radio Frequency energy to the deep dermis and sub-dermal layers of the skin, whilst protecting the epidermis. This will stimulate your production of collagen, elastin and hylauronic acid, for a natural and progressive lifting effect.
During a treatment a machine is used to heat the skin to between 38-40 degrees, which feels like a hot stone facial massage.
You will get an immediate tightening of the collagen fibres, so its great to do before an event, but it also gives a long-lasting lift and increased volume. It continues to promote collagen production over the next 4-6 weeks following a treatment.
