Radiofrequency Skin Tightening Specialist in Encino CA

Radio frequency skin tightening is a non-surgical and non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that works to diminish the effects that aging has had on the skin. The results include reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging of the skin that has slowly developed over the years to provide a beautifully tight and youthful complexion. Radio frequency skin tightening is a safe and effective treatment for those with mild to moderate fine lines and wrinkles and can be combined with other treatments to further optimize the desired results but is also a great option to have done on its own providing results that are similar to that of a surgical face lift but without the invasive surgical procedure.

Radio frequency skin tightening is done using a device that uses RF energy to gently heat the skin that is being treated. This heat causes micro wounds in the skin, which stimulates the production of new skin cells to be formed, as well as collagen and elastin production. Collagen and elastin are naturally produced in our skin which provides our skin with the fuller, tighter complexion, but the production of which significantly decreases as we age, which is what leads to the easier development of wrinkles and a loss of volume in our skin. This healing from the micro wounds takes a bit of time, but can offer longer-lasting results that become more and more effective with each treatment. Since the treatment only involves gently heating the skin, it is completely pain-free and requires very little down time. Many patients will find the treatments to actually be relaxing, feeling similarly to a hot-stone massage with some mild tingling.

Radio frequency skin tightening treatments are able to address many different skin concerns regarding the tone and texture of the skin. This includes reducing the appearance of sun damage such as sun spots, acne scars, or hyperpigmentation, as well as mild to moderate fine lines, wrinkles, and skin that has started to sag. It is also a common treatment to be used in other parts of the body, not just the face and neck, to offer body contouring results due to its ability to target and reduce the amount of excess fat cells that are being stored under the layers of skin. This also leads to radio frequency skin tightening to being an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of cellulite. Once the results have started to take effect, patients will be able to enjoy tighter, smoother skin that looks beautiful and youthful.

With proper care and maintenance, patients are able to enjoy the results from their radio frequency skin tightening treatments for months up to a year following the treatment. It is always recommended to make sure that the instructions or recommendations provided by the clinic at which you receive the treatment are closely followed as those tips can help to optimize the results and make them last for much longer. For patients who receive multiple build-up treatments, they can often end up going 1 to 3 years after the final desired results have been realized before a maintenance treatment is recommended. Your skin will continue to age even after the treatments have completed, which is why so many patients will opt for regular maintenance appointments just to make sure that their desired results can be sustained for as long as possible. Living a fairly healthy lifestyle consisting of regular exercise, a fairly healthy diet, refraining from alcohol and tobacco consumption, protecting your skin from sun damage, and staying hydrated can help to make sure that your skin stays beautiful and youthful for years to come.
