RADIO REQUENCY CONTOURING FAQ

  • What is Radio Frequency Contouring?

    Radio Frequency (RF) Contouring is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses RF energy to heat the dermis and subdermal layers of your skin, stimulating collagen production and resulting in tighter, more youthful-looking skin.

  • How does RF Contouring work?

    RF energy penetrates the skin layers to selectively heat the skin tissue where the collagen fibers are embedded. The local heating causes an immediate contraction of collagen fibers and at the same time increases the metabolism of the fibroblasts thereby accelerating the production of new collagen and elastin fibers which results in a smoother, healthier, and younger-looking skin.

  • Is RF Contouring painful?

    No, RF Contouring is generally not painful. Clients typically experience a warm sensation as the RF energy is delivered to the skin. It’s often compared to the feeling of a hot stone massage.

  • What areas of the body can be treated with RF Contouring?

    RF Contouring can be used on several areas of the body including the face, neck, abdomen, arms, thighs, and buttocks. It is popularly used for facial treatments to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

  • How long does an RF Contouring session last?

    An RF Contouring session can last anywhere from 6 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated.

  • How many RF Contouring sessions will I need?

    The number of sessions varies depending on the individual’s goals and the area being treated. Typically, clients may require anywhere from 5 to 8 sessions, spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart.

  • Is there any downtime after RF Contouring?

    There is minimal to no downtime following an RF Contouring session. Most clients resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.

  • Are there any side effects of RF Contouring?

    Side effects are generally rare and mild but can include temporary redness, swelling, and tingling of the treated area. These usually subside within a few hours post-treatment.

  • When will I see results from RF Contouring?

    Some clients notice skin tightening immediately after the treatment. However, the most noticeable results are seen after a series of sessions and can continue to improve for several months following the treatments as new collagen is formed.

  • How long will the results from RF Contouring last?

    The results from RF Contouring can last up to two years, but they are not permanent. Maintenance sessions are recommended every 6 to 12 months to prolong the effects of the treatment.

  • Is RF Contouring safe for all skin types?

    Yes, RF Contouring is safe for all skin types. However, a consultation is recommended to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your skin condition and health history.

  • Can I combine RF Contouring with other treatments?

    Yes, RF Contouring can be combined with other cosmetic treatments. It is often combined with treatments like laser therapy or microneedling for enhanced results. Our specialists can create a customized treatment plan for you.

  • How do I prepare for an RF Contouring treatment?

    You should avoid any tanning and use of retinol products a week before treatment. It’s also important to hydrate well before and after your treatment to help achieve optimal results.

  • What aftercare is required following RF Contouring?
