Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

Radiofrequency skin tightening uses electromagnetic energy in the radiofrequency range to heat the dermis and deep dermis to a therapeutic temperature — typically 40–45°C — while the skin surface is kept comfortable with a cooled handpiece. At this temperature, existing collagen fibres partially contract, producing an immediate mild tightening effect, and fibroblasts are stimulated to produce new collagen and elastin over the following weeks and months as…
