Radiofrequency

What Is Radiofrequency?

Radiofrequency is a known technology for over 70 years. Radiofrequency, which is a kind of heat therapy, renews the collagen fibers that provide skin tension. This treatment, which allows the renewal of collagen fibers without the need for surgery, painlessly rejuvenates the skin. Besides that, radiofrequency also has features such as minimizing the pores and eliminates the oily skin appearance, which expands its usage areas.

What Are the Uses of Radiofrequency?

Radiofrequency therapy, which is commonly used in medical aesthetic treatments, can be used in many areas of the skin. The main areas of use are the face, neck, and décolleté. Radiofrequency therapy, which provides lifting and tension in these areas, is also used for acne and blackhead problems.

Radiofrequency has also uses such as removing spots, scars, and stretch marks and body tightening, apart from antiaging and face rejuvenation.

How Is Radiofrequency Treatment Performed?

Before starting the procedure, the skin is cleaned and anesthetic creams are applied to the area so that the patient does not feel pain during the procedure. Radiofrequency is performed with a special device. This device sends heat energy to the skin by emitting electromagnetic radio waves. Radiofrequency technology is a reliable treatment known all over the world.

A single session lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour. Each zone is taken care of several times. Applying moisturizing masks and cures at the end of the procedure both increases the effect of the procedure and helps the skin to relax. Most patients see at least 3 sessions for a more permanent and effective result. A bright and young-looking skin is obtained after the treatment.

Radiofrequency can be applied in all seasons. It is recommended to avoid alcohol, smoking, and blood-thinning drugs before the treatment process since a kind of rejuvenation is achieved by improving blood flow and circulation.

After Radiofrequency Treatment

Intense redness may occur on your skin within 6 hours after the treatment. This redness, which is completely expected, begins to subside within 3 days. During this short recovery period, you should not use cosmetic products other than the moisturizing and protective creams given by your doctor, and avoid water contact for 3 days. Crusting occurs in the treated areas during recovery; touching them can infect wounds and delay healing.

If you have had radiofrequency treatment in the summertime you should be extra careful about the sun. You are not supposed to be going out in the sun for the first 2-3 days and protect your skin by wearing SPF 50 sunscreen every day afterward.
