RF body skin tightening is a treatment that makes use of radio frequency technology in order to target loose or sagging skin on the body. The Greville Clinic uses the latest technology to carry out RF skin tightening for loose skin, helping to tighten and tone the skin.
Organise a consultation today to find out how radio frequency body contouring and skin tightening can help you.
Loose skin on the body is commonly caused by the natural ageing process, which results in a drop in production of collagen and elastin in the skin with the natural aging process. These two components of the skin are vital for providing its elasticity, which is why ageing skin often appears loose and sagging.
Loose skin can also occur when too much weight is lost very rapidly, either due to dieting or health reasons. When weight is lost too quickly, the skin is unable to retain its tight elastic state due to the loss of volume, making the skin loose and saggy.
Some people might also notice loose skin after excess sun exposure. This is due to harmful UV rays that can cause skin cells to prematurely die, negatively affecting production of elastin and collagen.
RF body skin tightening is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that uses radiofrequency waves to treat loose skin on the body. A range of body areas can be targeted with our RF technology which emits radio frequency energy waves into the dermis and deeper layers of the skin. Radio frequency body sculpting and skin tightening treatments gently heat the skin, which causes collagen fibres to tighten and stimulate production of elastin.
This leads to benefits for the skin’s structure as well as its elasticity, and improvement of the skin’s texture and tone.
Prior to the treatment, you will undergo an initial consultation to determine if RF body skin tightening is right for you.
RF Skin tightening is suitable for you if:
The treatment will begin with you lying down comfortably on our treatment bed. A radiofrequency handpiece will be used to deliver radio frequency waves into the area requiring treatment, gently and safely heating the dermis to stimulate collagen regeneration. The treatment causes no pain and can be quite relaxing, although a slight sensation of warming may be experienced.
The number of sessions required for radio frequency body contouring and skin tightening can depend on the area being targeted and how loose the skin is in this area. A minimum of 4 treatments is recommended, but further sessions can help to maintain results over time. Some results can be seen immediately after your first treatment, and the best results will be achieved accumulatively over the complete course of treatments advised during your consultation.
