Fractional Radio Frequency
Experience the power of needle-free Fractional Radio Frequency technology for unparalleled skin resurfacing, scar treatment, wrinkle reduction, and skin tightening.
Fractional Radio Frequency Skin Resurfacing is an effective way to repair and rejuvenate damaged skin. With this treatment, wrinkles, scars, visible pores, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture and pigmentation can be reduced, creating a smoother, healthier appearance.
The process of Radio Frequency (RF) skin tightening involves the use of an electromagnetic device to deliver controlled energy, that generates heat and stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, and new skin cells. Fractional RF is our plastic surgeon’s top choice of ablative therapy for resurfacing and improving skin texture.
And bonus – no needles are used, but rather a bipolar radiofrequency pulse that penetrates deep into the dermis. Compared to Microneedling with RF, this treatment has more downtime and can produce similar results to fractional laser.
Skin conditions such as scars and stretch marks respond exceptionally well to this treatment, but it also works well for resurfacing and tightening all types of skin. As a result of the nature of the treatment, there will be a slight amount of downtime, and crusting will form on the treated areas. The redness and crusting will subside between 5 and 7 days after treatment.
