Radiofrequency consists of the application of high-frequency electromagnetic waves on the skin that causes controlled heating of the different layers of the dermis, which favors:

• ​

• The formation of new collagen.

• Lymphatic drainage.

• Circulation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue.

• The migration of fibroblasts.

Depending on the frequency used, different layers of the dermis can be heated. It is a painless procedure that is used to treat cellulite and sagging skin anywhere on the body.

The immediate effect of the application of radiofrequency is the retraction of collagen, to, after successive sessions, achieve the restructuring of deep collagen and the formation of new fibers that replace the already aged ones, providing greater elasticity to the tissues and obtaining skin smoother and, as a consequence, the reduction of wrinkles and epithelial sagging. The effects are usually achieved after one month of treatment and improve in the following months, although this will depend on the state of each person's collagen. Between four and ten sessions are needed, depending on the body surface area to be treated, and follow-up sessions can be performed after a few months.

​

At the end of each radiofrequency session, it is normal for the skin to show some redness that takes a very short time. Otherwise, it is a very safe technique, although it has its contraindications: pregnancy and breastfeeding, heart disease, coagulation disorders, neuromuscular diseases, recent collagen implants, having a metal prosthesis, pacemaker or morbid obesity.

 

Radiofrequency can be complemented with other aesthetic techniques in the treatment of spots, wrinkles, removal of veins on the face, etc.
