Non-surgical Treatment
Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment for Skin Texture and Firmness
Radiofrequency (RF) is a non-surgical technology used in aesthetic dermatology to support skin texture and appearance. Radio waves deliver controlled heat to deeper skin layers, with treatment parameters selected according to the area and individual needs.
Radiofrequency and Collagen Production
The controlled increase in tissue temperature produced by radiofrequency activates fibroblasts, the cells involved in collagen and elastin production. Collagen supports skin firmness, while elastin contributes to the skin’s ability to return to its original shape.
By supporting these components, radiofrequency may form part of a plan addressing skin firmness and laxity.
