What Is Radiofrequency Skin Tightening?

Radiofrequency skin tightening (or RF skin tightening) is a safe and effective non-invasive skin treatment that uses radio frequency waves to stimulate collagen production and firm the deeper layers of the skin. By gently heating skin cells using an RF device, we initiate a natural repair process that leads to the production of new collagen and elastin—the building blocks of skin elasticity.

Our radiofrequency treatment solutions are ideal for lifting and contouring areas such as the face and neck, facial skin, abdomen, arms, and thighs. Whether you're noticing loose skin, the appearance of wrinkles, or crow’s feet, RF skin tightening is a powerful solution that restores skin health and youthfulness.

What Can Radio Frequency Treatments Address?

Radio frequency facial and body treatments effectively improve a wide range of skin concerns, including:

colors-1

Fine lines and wrinkles on the face and body, including forehead lines, crow’s feet, and nasolabial folds

colors-1

Sagging or loose skin on the neck, jawline, and cheeks

colors-1

Skin laxity after weight loss or childbirth

colors-1

Lack of skin firmness or tone on areas like the arms and abdomen

colors-1

Mild to moderate signs of aging

Using radio frequency energy, we deliver heat into the deeper skin tissues, promoting collagen remodelling and the production of collagen to help tighten and smooth the skin from within.

How Does RF Skin Tightening Work?

This facial treatment uses radio frequency energy—delivered via a radio frequency device—to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin (dermis). The waves heat the tissue to 42–45°C, triggering your body’s healing process. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in tighter, firmer skin over time.
‍
Unlike traditional laser treatments, which can be harsh or require downtime, RF radio frequency skin therapy is painless, comfortable, and safe for all skins. Our RF facial and RF body devices use advanced electromagnetic waves with smart sensors to ensure your skin is treated safely and evenly.
‍
Key benefits:

  • Stimulate the production of collagen without damaging skin
  • No downtime or recovery
  • Improves skin elasticity and tone
  • Suitable for the face and body
  • Works on all Fitzpatrick skin

What to Expect During Your RF Treatment

Your experience at the Institute of Medical Physics is designed to be smooth, scientific, and personalised. Every patient undergoes an initial consultation, during which we assess your treatment area, skin type, and goals.

Here’s what a typical session looks like:

  • Prior to the treatment, your skin is cleansed, and a gel may be applied to aid in energy transfer.
  • The radiofrequency device is moved over the skin, emitting waves that heat the deeper layers of the skin.
  • You may feel a warm, relaxing sensation as the RF energy works beneath the surface.
  • Most sessions take 30–90 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
  • Expect mild redness or warmth post-treatment—this typically fades within hours.

A course of 6 treatments, spaced two to four weeks apart, is usually recommended to maximise the benefits and achieve optimal skin rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is radio frequency skin tightening?

It’s a non-invasive skin treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, helping to firm and smooth skin over time.

Is RF skin tightening safe?

Yes. Our RF treatment systems are safe for all skin types and are clinically proven to be effective treatments for skin laxity, wrinkles, and facial skin rejuvenation.

How many sessions will I need?

We typically recommend a course of 6 treatments, spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Your initial consultation will determine the right number based on your needs.

Can I use a home-use device instead?

While home devices exist, they lack the depth, safety, and effectiveness of clinical-grade radio frequency devices. For deep collagen remodelling and visible results, professional treatments are strongly recommended.

Who should avoid RF skin tightening?

Patients with a history of skin cancer, metal implants, or pacemakers should consult their doctor. During your initial consultation, we’ll assess all safety factors.
