Mary O’Donnell of the Cosmetic Hair and Restoration Clinic at Bon Secours says one of the most popular treatments at CHRC is RF Skin Tightening. Here’s what you need to know…
RF stands for radio frequency which is a non invasive treatment to target loose and sagging skin through heat.
The heat penetrates deep into the layers of the skin and promotes collagen production and smooths the contours of the skin.
The following are some of the most frequently asked questions we receive on the RF treatment from our clients:
How does it work?
RF Skin tightening works by gradually heating the dermal and subdermal tissue you tighten and re-contour both superficially and volume metrically.
As the dermis is heated, a natural reaction occurs that promotes the creation of new collagen, while simultaneously releasing toxins in the fat and draining retained fluids.
This gives your skin back its smoothness, shape and elasticity with no anaesthesia or long recovery time necessary.
How many treatments are needed?
On average 8-10 treatments are required after your initial consultation.
How long does it take?
The treatment itself takes 25 minutes but allow yourself roughly 40 minutes if you are aiming to have the treatment during your lunch hour.
How does the treatment feel?
The treatment works by heating up the skin gradually so you will feel warmth on the skin.
The skin will feel warm and red afterwards for a short time and the redness will subside within a couple of hours.
What areas can I do this treatment on?
This treatment can be used on several areas of the body. The most popular areas are the abdomen, buttocks and thighs and this treatment can also be used on the face, neck and eye area.
How much per treatment?
The cost is €155 per treatment.
Is there any downtime with this treatment?
This is a non-invasive treatment so there is no downtime associated with it. After the treatment you may have some redness and feel warmth in the area.
