RF Face Lift

What is the RF (Radio Frequency) face lift and how does it work?

Radio frequency is the latest technology to tackle face and body areas in need of rejuvenation.
Aesthetica's RF FaceLifter treatment uses unipolar and bipolar radio frequency modalities to heat subcutaneous dermal tissue using a hand piece emitting RF waves. This causes the contraction of the existing collagen fibers, encourages fibroblast migration and promotes new collagen growth that helps to tighten and improve the outer architecture of the skin.

You’ll see the lifting effect and feel how your skin becomes tighter, smoother, and more elastic.
There is no down time (apart from the treatment time itself) and minimal discomfort. It is a walk-in walk-out procedure which takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes.

What can a course of RF Face Lift treatments do for me?

The goal of the radio frequency face lift is to restore a more youthful look by helping to reverse the signs of ageing and gravity. The treatment achieves:

• The tightening and smoothing of skin resulting in a reduced appearance of fine lines
  and wrinkles.
• The tightening of sagging skin around the jowls and neck.
• A reduction in the appearance of double chins.
• Improvement of skin laxity.
• A noticeable improvement in skin tone.

Is this treatment right for me?

Every woman or man who would like their face to look younger or smoother without surgery is a candidate for this treatment. A person of practically any age can receive the treatment. Some clients have obvious ageing from mid 30s others do better with deeper lines and laxity not evident till the fifties. There is an advantage to starting a little younger (the forties) and planning an annual budget for maintenance.

What happens during this treatment?

Before the treatment starts the treatment area is lightly coated in oil to make the treatment more comfortable and to increase the hand pieces surface contact with the skin.

There is little discomfort during or after RF Face Lift treatment. There is a definite feeling of warmth in the skin at the area being treated. The hand piece used in treatment has it's own cooling module to help keep the treatment comfortable and the operator can cool the skin immediately when required.

How many treatments are required and how long are they?

We recommend a course of anywhere between 6 to 12 treatments (depending on the areas treated and your skins reaction to the treatment) for the most beneficial results. We also recommend a maintenance treatment approximately every 6 months after your initial treatment course to maintain the results.

How long before I see the results of the treatment?

Many clients have reported changes early in their course after 2 or even 1 radio frequency treatments but it is usual to have 4-6 fortnightly treatments before the results start to manifest.

How much does it cost?

The price varies for different treatments depending on your skin type and condition, but usually is between $200 and $300 per treatment. Anywhere between 6 to 12 treatments can be required to achieve the best results.

We can give you a better idea of a total cost for a treatment course tailored specifically to your requirements during a free no-obligation consultation with one of our qualified nurses or therapists.
