RF Lifting

Principle of RF Lifting

RF technology is based on the use of radiofrequency waves that penetrate the skin and reach the dermal layer. Under their influence, collagen fibers contract, and regeneration processes are activated. Microcirculation also improves, enhancing tissue nutrition and waste removal.

The hardware method works locally, targeting selected zones, allowing correction of the facial oval, neck, décolleté, and body. RF lifting is considered safe since the energy is directed strictly to the target skin layer without damaging the epidermis.

Types of RF Lifting

Thermolifting

Thermolifting is the classic version of the procedure, using radiofrequency radiation for gentle tissue heating. The method is suitable for preventing age-related changes, reducing skin laxity, and improving turgor.

Microneedle RF Lifting

Microneedle lifting combines radiofrequency current with microneedle technology. Through ultra-thin needles, energy penetrates deeper, providing a pronounced effect for wrinkles, post-acne, and scars. The method actively stimulates skin renewal, making it smoother and denser.

Indications for RF Lifting

The procedure is recommended for patients with:

• loss of facial contour definition;

• decreased skin elasticity;

• fine and medium wrinkles;

• sagging skin of the neck and décolleté;

• uneven texture after acne;

• age-related skin changes on the body, including arms, abdomen, and thighs.

Contraindications and Side Effects

Despite its safety, RF lifting has certain limitations. The procedure is not recommended during:

• pregnancy and lactation;

• oncological diseases;

• active infections and skin inflammations;

• presence of a pacemaker or metal implants in the treatment area;

• blood clotting disorders.

Possible side effects most often include mild redness, moderate swelling, or a warm sensation. These usually subside within a few hours.

Stages of the Procedure

Preparation

Before RF lifting, a cosmetologist conducts a consultation, assesses skin condition, and determines the optimal treatment areas. A few days prior, it is recommended to avoid saunas, tanning beds, and aggressive skincare products.

How RF Lifting of Face and Body is Performed

A special contact gel is applied to the skin. The device emits radiofrequency waves that target the selected area. The patient feels pleasant warmth without pain or discomfort. A session lasts from 20 to 60 minutes depending on the area treated.

Results of RF Lifting

After a course of procedures, the skin becomes denser and firmer, wrinkles reduce in depth, and facial and body contours are corrected. Noticeable rejuvenation and a natural lifting effect occur without surgery.

How Often Should the Procedure Be Done?

For lasting results, a course of 4–6 sessions is recommended at intervals of 1–2 weeks. Maintenance sessions are performed once every 6–12 months, depending on individual skin characteristics.

Rehabilitation After RF Lifting

The recovery period is minimal. Normal activities can be resumed the next day. For 2–3 days, it is advisable to avoid intense physical activity, heat treatments, and active sun exposure.

Advantages of RF Lifting

• Safety of the procedure.

• No incisions or long rehabilitation.

• Possibility to treat various facial and body areas.

• Natural rejuvenation through stimulation of the skin’s own processes.

• Suitable for patients of different ages.
