Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Treatment in Orlando, FL

RF (radiofrequency) skin tightening treatments use a device to generate heat through low-frequency electromagnetic waves. This method of treatment is very effective for several skin conditions as the controlled heat penetrates the layers of skin to stimulate the production of new skin cells as well as to increase the production of collagen and elastin. These three components are essential in maintaining healthy, youthful, supple skin as the skin cells are supplied with increased volume and strength. Skin cell regeneration and increased collagen and elastin help to smooth the tone and texture of the skin and can be targeted to reduce sagging skin through tightening and firming to restore its shape and feel.

Most specialists will recommend that their patients receive a series of treatments to achieve optimal results, with many patients needing around 6 sessions total to achieve their final results. The results provided from just one session will likely only last for about 2 to 3 weeks but will continue to last longer after each subsequent treatment. After completing the entire series of treatments, most patients will be able to enjoy their beautiful results for closer to 1 to 2 years before needing a maintenance treatment to further sustain the results. Of course, this timeline will vary from patient to patient depending on the specific skin concerns that are being treated, as well as the severity of the skin concerns, with patients with only mild skin concerns who also are fairly young meaning their skin does not require much more additional collagen and elastin to be healthier will be able to achieve long-lasting results after fewer sessions. Patients who are a bit older with more substantial damage and effective of aging in the skin will likely require closer to the 6 sessions and more frequent maintenance treatments to sustain their desired results.

The frequency at which you should receive RF skin tightening treatments heavily depends on the patient’s skin type and skin conditions. During the build-up phase, patients can receive treatments every 3 to 4 weeks, with this timing varying a bit depending on what is recommended for each patient. The RF skin tightening treatments work by stimulating the regeneration of skin cells, as well as increased production of collagen and elastin, essentially developing due to the skin going through a natural healing process to achieve the results, which takes multiple weeks to occur. However, this natural healing process can vary a bit from person to person depending on their age and skin type. Once the build-up phase of treatments is completed, patients will be able to go closer to 6 to 12 months, or even longer, before needing their next session.

As with the timeline of sessions, the total amount of RF treatment sessions that are recommended for everyone will vary depending on a few factors, including age, severity of skin conditions, and skin type. Patients will very likely require more than one session, with most people needing anywhere from 3 to 6 sessions to start to have prolonged, long-lasting results. Patients with more severe skin concerns, and significant laxity of the skin, or those who are a bit older will likely need closer to 6 or even more sessions completed initially to get to a point where they only require one maintenance session every 6 months or longer.
