Radiofrequency Skin Tightening: Radiofrequency therapy is also known as radiofrequency skin tightening. With this therapy, your skin is tightened without any surgery. In this process, energy waves are used to heat the deep layer of your skin. This heat stimulates the production of collagen in the skin. Collagen is the most common protein in your body. It gives you strength.
Therapy being used since 2001
As you age, your cells produce less collagen, which leads to sagging skin and wrinkles. Looseness in the skin occurs around the age of 35 to 40 years. Around this age, the quantity and quality of collagen in your skin starts to decline. Radiofrequency therapy is being used since 2001, which fights aging signs in the skin.
How does it work
According to a report by Healthline, radiofrequency waves are like radiation. This radiation is actually a form of energy, which comes out in the form of electromagnetic waves. According to the release of energy, it can be calculated in low and high. X-rays and gamma rays are high energy radiation while radiofrequency are low energy. RF waves heat the deepest layer of your skin to between 122 and 167°F (50-75°C).
Studies have shown that being exposed to temperatures above 115°F (46°C) for more than 3 minutes causes your body to release heat-shock proteins. This protein stimulates your body to make new collagen fibers. This process of skin tightening takes less than an hour. This is painless therapy.
