Radiofrequency, what is it and its benefits?

What is facial radiofrequency?

It is the use of electromagnetic waves on the skin of the face that, through specific applicators, penetrate from the most superficial layers of the skin to the deepest layers of the dermis and epidermis. The only thing the patient notices is a pleasant warmth. This heat activates collagen production in the skin naturally, helping to eliminate toxins. No type of local anesthesia is necessary prior to treatment.

It results in smoother and firmer skin, managing to hide small wrinkles on the face. In addition, it manages to provide greater luminosity to the face to eliminate that tired skin appearance. In Hollywood they know this technique as “mini lifting”, since results can be seen immediately after the first session.

What areas can be treated?

It can be treated from the forehead, through the eyebrows, crow's feet, bags under the eyes, cheekbones, jaw and even the side of the neck.
