We can’t defy aging, but we can at least slow the process down to our benefit.
These days, there are so many things from which to choose, but radiofrequency (RF) technology is a non-surgical, non-invasive, relatively painless method with no downtime. The heating element of RF energy is similar to a hot rock massage set to reach and maintain a specific temperature to stimulate the body’s own collagen production. It lifts and tightens loose skin, minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and cellulite leaving you with younger, more supple looking skin. You will often see immediate results, which continue as collagen regenerates over six weeks. Often, the skin quality and brightness also improves, minimizing age spots and fine wrinkles. RF is a more preventative treatment for plumping up the skin mattress versus dermal fillers that fill the space of aging, thinning skin. If you do not want aesthetic injections, or if you get Botox or filler injections and want to build your collagen naturally, then this is an ideal treatment for you.
Areas Treated:
Crows feet, areas around the eyes and lids.
Forehead wrinkles and angry lines.
Marionette lines, saggy smile or saggy cheeks.
Chest wrinkles or neck sagginess.
Loose skin on the body – arms, thighs, back and belly.
Vaginal rejuvenation, tightening, vaginal dryness and incontinence.
Radiofrequency treatments gently heat your skin, increasing your skin’s temperature for a defined, therapeutic time that triggers your body’s natural reaction to produce new collagen. The new collagen fibers are tight and dense, leaving you with beautiful, younger-looking skin.
Here are seven tips to improve skin quality:
Drink lots of water.
Get plenty of rest.
Reduce stress.
Take good supplements that feed your skin, such as Vitamin C, Collagen powder, essential fatty acids – good quality fish oil, flax and chia, zinc and beta carotene.
Get your hormones checked.
Get on a good skin care regimen.
Eat a variety of colorful fruits, veggies and leafy greens and avoid processed, fried or fast foods.
