How does body radiofrequency work?
Radiofrequency is a form of energy that warms tissue as it passes through. A smooth handpiece glides over your skin with a gel, heating the deeper skin and the layer beneath to a set temperature while the surface stays comfortable. No needles go in, and nothing is cut.
That warmth makes collagen fibres contract at once, then sparks fresh collagen in the months that follow, and repeated sessions can also trim the fat layer. Devices and settings differ, so your doctor tailors the course to your skin for the firmest result.
Who shouldn’t have body radiofrequency?
It isn’t suitable during pregnancy, with a pacemaker or other electronic implant, with metal implants in the area, or with broken or infected skin there. Very loose skin after major weight loss needs surgery instead. Your doctor checks this at your consultation.
Body radiofrequency, step by step
- Free consultation: your doctor examines the area and plans the number of sessions.
- Preparation: the skin is cleansed and a conductive gel is applied.
- Treatment: the warm handpiece glides over each area for about 30–45 minutes.
- Course: usually 5–8 sessions, 1–2 weeks apart.
- Top-up: a session every few months keeps your skin firm.
Results and recovery
Skin can look tighter after the first few sessions, and the change keeps building through your course. Collagen goes on renewing for up to three months after your last session, which is when your full, firmer result shows.
Your skin is usually warm and pink for an hour or two, and you go straight back to normal life. Blisters or burns are uncommon when the settings are right. A steady weight keeps your result going longer.
Aftercare
- Carry on with normal life and exercise
