Aesthetic fractional radiofrequency is a technique used to combat skin aging and sagging in a non-invasive way, using a low electromagnetic current applied via a handpiece that achieves more effective deep heating of the subcutaneous tissue and cellular bio-stimulation, thereby requiring fewer sessions and producing longer-lasting results.

It is primarily intended for people who exhibit moderate skin sagging on the face (which generally appears from the fourth decade onwards), but also for treating certain parts of the body that tend to sag, particularly after significant weight loss (underside of the arms, stomach, buttocks).

Thus, the main indications are:

• Skin sagging of the face (jawline, neck, jowls)
• Skin sagging of the body (arms, stomach, buttocks)
• Management of fine lines and shallow wrinkles
• Mild to moderate acne scars
• Enlarged pores (pore-tightening effect comparable to a peel)
• Older stretch marks

Treatment Procedure

After applying a conductive gel to the skin, a handpiece is used; a very slight sensation of thermal heat is felt after each pulse.

Contraindications

The radiofrequency technique is contraindicated in the following cases:

• Use of a pacemaker
• Active skin infection
• Unhealed wound in the area to be treated
• Pregnancy
• History of hypertrophic scarring

A minimum of 2 sessions is recommended, with 3 to 4 sessions generally observed.
Sessions will be spaced from 2 weeks to 1 month apart, depending on each individual's skin.

This treatment can be perfectly combined by alternating with sessions of Microneedling, Aquapure, LED, etc.

The treatment includes:

-Preparation of the skin for the treatment (makeup removal, skin cleansing using aqua-facial)

-Fractional radiofrequency

-An appropriate post-treatment mask

An LED session performed immediately after radiofrequency not only improves the results obtained but also effectively limits the immediate aftereffects.

A moisturizing cream is applied immediately after the LED session and kept on for 12 to 24 hours.

Sun protection with an SPF 50 is mandatory until healing is complete (between 24 to 72 hours).

Makeup can be applied to the skin the following day.

Intense physical activity, saunas, steam rooms, and direct sun exposure should be avoided on the day of the session and the day after.

Improvements in the skin can begin to be seen quickly one week after the treatment, but especially after 1 month; given the production of new collagen, improvements continue for up to 3 months after the session.

Suitable for anyone looking to maintain a firm facial contour or regain firmer skin, for all skin types and all phototypes.
