Facial radiofrequency is a non-invasive aesthetic medicine method that offers impressive results for rejuvenating the skin and redefining facial contours. Discover how it works, its benefits, and how FILORGA uses it for its skincare.
The essentials of facial radiofrequency, in a few lines
-
Radiofrequency uses electromagnetic waves to heat the deep layers of the skin and stimulate the fibroblasts that produce collagen.
-
Radiofrequency can firm skin tissue, reshape the contours of the face, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin texture.
-
Radiofrequency is effective even with a small number of sessions, and its effects last for 2 to 3 years, with annual maintenance sessions.
-
Aesthetic doctors combine radiofrequency with microneedling for even more effective results. convincing.
How does radiofrequency work?
Radiofrequency is one of the ENERGY-BASED DEVICES (EBD), energy-based devices, just like laseror intense pulsed light. This non-surgical technique is based on a simple but powerful principle: the controlled heating of deep skin tissue. During radiofrequency treatment:
-
Electromagnetic waves penetrate the deeper layers of the skin and generate targeted heat.
-
This heatdenatures the collagen structure, transforming its fibers into a more malleable gel.
-
The "reorganized" collagen fibers becomedenser and stronger, restoring to the skin, firmness and elasticity.
We can then note:
-
An immediate effect with a contraction of existing fibers, providing a slight lifting effect.
-
A progressive effect with deep regeneration for visible results after several weeks.
Radiofrequency aesthetic treatments to combat sagging skin
Radiofrequency is particularly effective in treating sagging skin, one of the first signs of skin aging. href="https://fr.filorga.com/magazine/vieillissement-de-la-peau-comment-le-ralentir/">. Very high-frequency electromagnetic waves heat the deep tissues of the skin (without damaging its surface). The result:
-
A reshaped and firmer facial contour.
-
A reduction in wrinkles.
-
A firming of the skin.
-
A Smoother texture.
-
A visible reduction in marks and imperfections thanks to increased cell regeneration.
For maximum results, and depending on the patient's needs, aesthetic doctors recommend between 2 and 6 radiofrequency sessions, spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart.
Results are visible from the first session but peak after 2 to 3 months. They last between 2 and 3 years once the protocol is completed. Then, one to two sessions per year are enough to prolong the benefits.
To boost the effectiveness of radiofrequency sessions,skincare professionals combine this technique with microneedling, which involves creating tiny punctures in the skin using fine needles. These micro-lesions further stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and firmness while reducing scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and enlarged pores.
Are home radiofrequency devices effective?
In recent years, portable radiofrequency devices have emerged for home use. Although they are accessible and practical, their effectiveness is limited compared to professional treatments:
Less powerful, home devices do not reach the same temperatures or the deep layers of the skin. They are therefore less effective at stimulating collagen production. They offer a slight tightening effect, butcannot firm the skin as much or compete with the long-lasting results of medical treatment. They appear safe,but the results remain superficial. These devices can be a complement to maintain the effects between in-office sessions, but they are of course not a substitute for the expertise of an aesthetic doctor. Facial radiofrequency is a safe procedure, but like any cosmetic treatment, it has some limitations. : Temporary redness or swelling after the session. Heat or tingling sensation during and after treatment. Contraindications to radiofrequency generally include: The Pregnant or breastfeeding women. People with a pacemaker or implanted electronic device. People with skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis, or other skin infections. It is therefore essential to consult a qualified aesthetic doctor to assess their eligibility for the procedure.
