RF THERMAGE

RF THERMAGE

Radio frequency (RF) treatments are a path breaking innovation in the field medical aesthetics. Radio Frequency treatments have remained incredibly effective, safe, and long-lasting.

RF Thermage is a Medifacial that's a rage with celebrities, the world over. As we get older, our body produces less collagen, which leads to lax skin, crow’s feet, laugh lines, and other signs of ageing. On the face, it’s often used to tighten lax skin, diminish laugh lines, fade wrinkles, reduce jowls, and improve circulation for healthy, naturally rejuvenated skin. Tighten up Your Skin!

RF treatments are all about focusing radio-frequency energy to kick start the body's own natural renewal process. Thermage relies on the body’s healing response to heat generated deep in the sub-dermal layers. This response causes formation of new collagen & elastin fibres, along with the increased production of fibroblasts which results in skin tightening & wrinkle reduction. It results in a smoother, firmer and fuller skin which looks noticeably more youthful.

There are a number of benefits for those who choose to try radio frequency over more invasive or surgical aesthetic procedures. The first is safety. Radio Frequency treatments have been trusted for decades, and as the industry has innovated, treatments have become even safer and more effective with most patients feeling only a warming sensation during the procedure. There’s also almost no downtime for our treatments, meaning you can be with us in your lunch break and be back at your desk right on schedule. The best part? Unlike some other medical aesthetic treatments that come with a risk of discolouration, especially for darker skin, this MediFacial is safe for all skin tones, meaning anyone can get the desired results without worrying about skin damage.
