Skin Tightening & Lifting
RF Skin Tightening Calgary is a cutting-edge cosmetic treatment that employs the power of radiofrequency technology to tighten and rejuvenate your skin. Unlike surgical procedures, this method gently heats the tissue beneath the surface of your skin, encouraging the production of collagen – the key player in maintaining healthy skin elasticity.
Our body’s natural collagen production decreases as we age, leading to sagging skin and wrinkles. RF therapy, which has been utilized since 2001 to combat these issues, works by using energy waves to heat the deep dermal layer of your skin. The heat, in the range of 122 to 167°F (50–75°C), triggers the release of heat-shock proteins, compelling your body to create new collagen fibers. It’s like a rejuvenation process that gives your skin a new lease on life.
The fundamental principle behind RF Skin Tightening is the controlled application of radiofrequency energy to the targeted areas. This energy is delivered deep into the dermal layer of your skin, where it gently heats the tissue. The heat, when maintained at a specific range, stimulates the production of collagen, which is crucial for maintaining your skin’s youthful appearance and elasticity.
RF waves heat the deep layer of your skin, causing collagen to be regenerated. Studies have found that maintaining a temperature over 115°F (46°C) for over 3 minutes causes your body to release heat-shock proteins, which, in turn, stimulate the production of new collagen fibers. The procedure typically takes less than an hour and is usually almost painless.
The primary benefit of RF therapy is tightening your skin, making it an excellent choice for addressing sagging skin.
RF therapy effectively reduces wrinkles and fine lines, restoring a youthful appearance.
Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause collagen fibers in your skin to break down and become disorganized. RF therapy has been shown to stimulate collagen production, helping reverse the effects of sun damage.
For individuals seeking to tighten loose skin, RF therapy can stimulate collagen production, resulting in improved body shape.
RF therapy, combined with pulsed electromagnetic treatment, has significantly improved facial skin laxity and contour.
RF treatment can potentially be used as a nonsurgical method of slimming the face, with impressive results.
To understand how RF therapy works, it’s important to delve into the nature of radiofrequency waves. RF waves are a form of radiation, but it’s crucial to differentiate between high-energy and low-energy radiation.
X-rays and gamma rays are examples of high-energy radiation, while RF waves are considered low-energy. These RF waves are similar to the radio waves, Wi-Fi signals, and microwaves you encounter daily.
It’s worth noting that the RF radiation used in skin tightening emits about a billion times less energy than X-rays. So, while the term “radiation” may sound intimidating, it’s important to understand that the energy emitted during RF skin tightening is extremely low and poses no health risks to individuals.
RF Skin Tightening is typically considered safe when performed by a certified practitioner like the ones at Glow Aesthetic Center.
RF therapy’s most common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, and tingling. These side effects are generally mild and subside quickly.
It’s important to note that individuals with darker skin may have a slightly higher risk of side effects from laser and RF treatments, but overall, RF radiation poses minimal risks.
RF Skin Tightening is a remarkable solution for those seeking to regain youthful, vibrant skin without invasive surgery. As the years go by, our skin’s collagen production naturally declines, leading to sagging skin and the emergence of wrinkles. RF therapy uses low-energy radiation to heat the deep dermal layer of your skin, stimulating collagen production and effectively treating mild to moderate signs of aging.
With its proven effectiveness and minimal risks, RF Skin Tightening offers an attractive alternative to invasive procedures. At Glow Aesthetic Center, we are proud to provide this innovative treatment to help our clients look and feel their best.
