FREQUENT QUESTIONS
What benefits can I get with radio frequency?
It is a technique that consists of applying energy through the surface of the dermis, by means of a deep and controlled heating that affects the skin and the subcutaneous cellular tissue, causing a series of reactions that favor:
- The formation of new collagen: allowing all the tissue to acquire firmness.
- Lymphatic drainage: it will reduce fluids and toxins in the tissue affected by cellulite.
- Better circulation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue: it will improve metabolism with the consequent decrease in the appearance of orange peel skin and flaccidity.
- Fibroblast migration: results in rejuvenation of the treated area.
The great advantage and novelty of non-abrasive treatments such as radiofrequency is that they respect the epidermis, with minimal redness to the skin, without damaging its outer layer.
Can it be used in combination with any other treatment?
Radio frequency can be combined with other techniques such as intense pulsed light, which improve the texture of the skin and small spots and veins on the face, with chemical peels, fillers, botox, etc. which must be performed at different times and with a programmed sequence to achieve a comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions required is variable and will depend on the condition of each patient and the level of demand thereof, but between 4 and 6 are considered necessary for facial, and between 6 and 10 for body treatments.
Can there be pain in the treatment?
The procedure is well tolerated and does not require anesthesia, since it only feels heat and, only people with very painful cellulite, may feel a little pain from the friction of the head in certain areas.
