Many people look for options within aesthetic medicine with the aim of reducing localized fat, correcting flaccidity and delaying skin aging. All these problems can be treated with radiofrequency technology, which is responsible for stimulating the production of collagen in the skin, making it look bright, healthy and younger.
Over the years, collagen generation decreases, which causes the appearance of fine lines, dryness and loose skin. In other words, collagen is essential to combat these signs of aging.
In addition to the passage of time, there are other factors that influence the low production of collagen: smoking, excessive sun, pollution, stress and environmental factors. As a result, the skin becomes thinner, wrinkled and sagging.
What is radiofrequency?
It is a non-invasive treatment used to achieve a “lifting effect”- It is a technique of facial and body rejuvenation through the application of heat in the deeper layers of the dermis.
How does radiofrequency work?
This treatment uses an electrical wave of micropulses to increase the temperature of the skin in a controlled manner. In this way, it generates heat in the area to be treated and acts on the affected tissues.
The skin is made to believe that there is an attack on the area, which causes the body to react with regenerative elements and the tissues are rejuvenated in a natural way.
What are the effects of this treatment?
Being a beauty treatment, it provides facial and body aesthetic benefits. Its effects are:
- Stimulates blood circulation
- Produces collagen and elastin
- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles
- Improves skin elasticity
- Improves “orange peel skin
- Increases the metabolism of adipocytes
- Increases the lymphatic return system.
Duration of treatments
The standard recommendation is between 4 and 10 sessions, depending on the needs of each patient. Each session usually lasts about 30 minutes in the case of body application and an interval of 15 days should be respected between each session.
One of the advantages of this treatment is that it can be performed at any time of the year. Once the total number of sessions has been completed, maintenance is recommended after a few months.
It is important to keep in mind that treatments should be accompanied by exercise, a healthy diet rich in antioxidants and proper skin care.
