DEFINITION
Radiofrequency uses the principle of heating tissue in order to stimulate a contraction of the dermis and combat flabbiness. The rise in temperature also stimulates the formation of blood vessels, giving greater luminosity to the skin and stimulating the circulation of blood and lymph.
This treatment is complementary to body shaping surgery as it accelerates cutaneous shrinkage and recovery, thereby reducing inflammation more quickly.
INDICATIONS
For patients with light to moderate levels of flabbiness who want to improve their skin tone.
For patients who have undergone surgical treatments such as liposuction or abdominoplasty, face lifts, etc.
For patients who want a flash effect (increased luminosity) on the skin for a special occasion.
For maintaining skin tone.
It is contraindicated for patients who have electronic medical devices such as pacemakers or medication infusion pumps.
PROCEDURE
To perform the treatment, a specialist will manipulate the heat device on the skin using circular massage. The skin temperature will rise steadily to the desired point which will then be maintained until the treatment is completed.
PROFESSIONALS
This type of procedure should be performed by a specialist or an assistant who is supervised by a qualified health professional.

CARE
You will be given a written care assessment so that you can return home with peace of mind. You can also contact us at any time with any questions you may have.
RECOVERY
Getting back to normal daily life happens immediately, so you don’t require any special preparation or much pre-planning to have this treatment.
RESULTS
The results are additive and progressive and depend very much on the condition of the patient’s skin at the start of the treatment. Generally, we will provide a treatment and session plan. As these take place, you will see a progressive improvement of the skin.
COMPLICATIONS
In very rare cases, it may cause slight burns which heal quickly without scarring.
