The Benefits of an RF Radio Frequency Machine

We’re all exposed to low levels of RF energy from cell phones, WiFi, TVs and other electronic equipment. Unlike UV and laser treatments, RF doesn’t increase skin cancer risk.

During an RF treatment, your skin is heated to an optimal collagen-producing temperature. Devices such as the Morpheus 8 and Focus Dual can combine RF with microneedling to reduce jowls, double chins and stretch marks.

Improved Skin Texture

RF heats the dermis, which helps reduce lines and wrinkles, firms skin, and improves texture. It also boosts collagen production and stimulates lymphatic drainage. This treatment can be used on the face or the body. The treatment is non-invasive, with no downtime required. There are several RF machines available, and it’s important to choose one that matches the skin type and thickness of the area being treated. For example, the jowl area may require deeper penetration of the needles than other areas, as the skin is thicker here.

Depending on the machine, there are different settings that you can use. The RF microneedling device uses tiny needles that are pressed into the skin at pre-set depths to deliver the RF energy deep into the dermis. It’s called a bipolar machine because the handpiece has two poles; the negative and positive, which ensure that only RF energy is delivered to the skin layers. Some devices are monopolar, which can be used on the body and work to melt fat, but this requires a trained practitioner.

Another RF facial machine is the CMPEY which has five energy levels and a cooling fat freezing machine supplier system to ensure comfort during the treatment. It’s designed to tighten pores, smooth wrinkles and fine lines, increase skin elasticity, promote lymphatic circulation, firm the skin and lift sagging jowls. It can also be used to reduce dark circles, black spots and puffiness around the eyes.

Reduced Wrinkles

RF radio frequency waves heat the dermis, the deepest skin layer. This stimulates your body to release collagen fibers and restores skin elasticity, reducing lines and wrinkles. This is a much more natural alternative to chemical peels, facelifts or fillers. RF can also tighten loose skin in the arms, legs, abdomen, and buttocks, as well as shrink large pores.

During an RF facial, your clinician will place the hand-piece against the skin over the target area. Then, they will slowly move the RF hand-piece in upward and circular motions. You’ll feel a slight warming sensation, but the heat shouldn’t be uncomfortable. The therapist will also apply a cooling gel to prevent the skin from burning.

There are two types of RF treatment: monopolar and bipolar. The monopolar method uses a generator and a hand-piece with sets of positive and negative poles. The RF current flows from the generator to the hand-piece, where the negative pad creates a low-resistance path back to the generator. This ensures that the RF energy passes through all layers of the skin, including the subcutaneous fat layer 20mm below the surface.

Another RF technique is called fractional RF. In this type of treatment, the hand-piece has a grid of pin-points that deliver intense RF to the surface of the skin. This ‘thermally injure’ (but not damage) the top layer of the skin, triggering a wound-healing response and releasing new collagen and elastin.

Tighter Skin

RF tightens loose skin on the face and body, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It also stimulates collagen production, which plumps the skin and reduces sagging. It is a great alternative to a facelift for those who do not want to undergo surgery. Moreover, it is safe for all skin types, especially darker skins that may not respond well to laser treatments.

In order to produce tighter skin, RF heats the skin from top to bottom. This process causes controlled damage to the underlying tissue, stimulating collagen and elastin production. In addition, it tightens the skin by causing fibroblast contraction.

RF is considered a safe, pain-free and non-invasive procedure. However, it is important to know that the results may not appear immediately and can take up to six months. RF treatment can be combined with other procedures for better results, such as chemical peels or photo-rejuvenation.

You should expect mild redness or swelling after the treatment, which usually lasts a few hours. This is a sign that the RF treatment has caused some inflammation of the skin. During this time, it is important to use a hydrating serum. It picosure laser treatment is recommended that you avoid makeup and direct sun exposure until the swelling subsides. You should also avoid exercising, strenuous activities or saunas. If you are concerned about side effects, speak to your dermatologist about them.

Reduced Cellulite

The bumpy appearance of cellulite is caused by bands of fibrous tissue (septae) within the natural fatty layer under the skin. When the septae tighten, they pull down on the skin, giving it a dimpled appearance. RF treatment heats the deep tissues, which reduces cellulite. It also stimulates collagen production, promoting skin tightening and firmness.

Pure RF energy is one of the most effective body contouring treatments for cellulite reduction and reducing fat deposits. It also boosts circulation, which helps smooth and tighten the skin. It is far superior to lasers and ultrasound, which don’t penetrate as deeply into the tissues.

When a person receives an RF treatment at a cosmetic institute or in the hands of a practitioner who is not properly trained, it can result in burns. This is especially true when a monopolar or bipolar RF machine is used, where the current from the RF machine passes only through the electrodes on the handpiece.

With a device such as the Profound, a practitioner applies a numbing cream to the treatment area before using the handheld device over the skin. The device contains several pairs of microneedles that have electrodes that deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin and tissues. Once the numbing cream has had time to work, the aesthetic professional moves the device over your thighs, which releases radiofrequency waves that destroy the subcutaneous fat cells. The destroyed fatty cells are naturally flushed away by the lymphatic system.
