The radio frequency treatment is about emitting, by a modern device, electric impulses to decrease sagging skin without causing pain. Electromagnetic waves are emitted to heat the dermis and hypodermis, promoting the contraction of collagen fibers and stimulate its production.

It causes heat and electric impulses on the deepest layer of skin, around 50, 60 degrees, while the surface of the skin is kept cool and protected.

How does it works in skin

RF causes contraction of collagen molecules and increases the production of new collagen, which will continue increasing for weeks and months after application. There is an increase of local blood circulation and destruction of fat cells - it can also treat cellulite.
