What is RF lifting?

RF lifting is a procedure for correcting age-related changes that works on the principle of radio wave heating of deep layers - the dermis and subcutaneous fat. Radio waves affect areas prone to sagging and wrinkles: forehead, temples, cheeks, the area between the nose and upper lip, chin and neck area up to the thyroid cartilage.

Types of RF-lifting

Targeted exposure to radio frequency waves is performed by devices that have a variety of settings. The table shows the types and descriptions of equipment for RF lifting:

Category Monopolar Bipolar Tripolar or multipolar
Description Unipolar current heats the dermis evenly at a set depth Delicate effect without creating a magnetic field Complex effect of several electrodes with constant polarity change
Temperature 50-60°C Up to 45°C Minimum
Penetration depth Up to 40 mm Average depth Various depths
Application Cellulite, fatty deposits on the hips and abdomen Sensitive and delicate areas Any part of the body, any skin type
Main effect Radical change in collagen structure Stimulation of collagen formation without the risk of injury and burns Effective impact of radiofrequency energy on various depths of the skin
Sensations during the procedure Probability of unpleasant sensations Painless Does not cause pain or discomfort
Power 150-300 W 60-80 W From 15 Tue

The procedures ensure safety and high efficiency due to the sensors that scan the temperature of the affected area a thousand times per second. When the maximum permissible temperature is reached, the electrodes are automatically switched off. All this allows the cosmetologist to achieve the desired result, which improves over the course of 4-6 months after the procedure.

Features of the RF neck lifting procedure

Radiofrequency lifting is aimed at rejuvenating the skin without damaging its surface layers. The device generates electromagnetic waves that penetrate deep into the tissues, heating them up to 45 degrees Celsius. This causes the breakdown of fat cells, strengthening of the skin and reduction of collagen fibers. As a result of neck and décolleté lifting, the skin becomes firm and elastic, and the face acquires a more youthful and toned appearance.

General information about the procedure

Preparation

For successful radiofrequency lifting, it is enough to follow basic recommendations for preparation:

  1. Avoid direct exposure to the sun and tanning for two weeks before the session
  2. If you have recently undergone laser skin treatment or peeling, wait at least three months before using radiofrequency therapy
  3. Stop taking medications that affect blood clotting
  4. Inform your doctor about the use of Botox or recent surgery
  5. Before the procedure, make sure to cleanse the skin of the neck and décolleté from foundation and other impurities

Do not drink alcohol 24 hours before the procedure. Alcohol increases swelling and redness of the skin. Stop using cosmetics with retinol or acids a week before the session to minimize the risk of irritation.

Stages of RF lifting of the neck and décolleté area

Lifting includes the following stages:

  1. Initial consultation. The doctor examines the skin condition, clarifies the presence of allergies to anesthetics and answers the patient's questions
  2. Cleansing the skin and treating it with an antiseptic. To minimize discomfort, the doctor applies an anesthetic and leaves it under the film for 20-30 minutes
  3. Beginning of the procedure. The cosmetologist sets up the device, opens the sterile disposable nozzle and installs it on the device
  4. During the main part of the procedure, the doctor presses the nozzle tightly to the skin and carefully treats the necessary areas
  5. Relaxation stage. After radiofrequency exposure, ultrasound therapy is performed on the LDM MED device, which helps reduce redness, speed up recovery and enhance the rejuvenating effect
  6. Completion of the procedure. Includes repeated treatment of the neck and décolleté with an alcohol-free antiseptic and application of a soothing cream

The total duration of radiofrequency tightening, including consultation, diagnostics and ultrasound therapy, is from 1.5 to 2 hours. Redness and slight swelling disappear on their own by the end of the day. When using intensive settings, recovery takes up to 2-3 days.

Procedure results

Radiofrequency lifting (RF-lifting) of the neck solves the following problems:

  • Skin strengthening. The density and elasticity of skin tissues increase due to active stimulation of collagen production
  • Wrinkle smoothing. Deep and fine wrinkles become less noticeable
  • Contour tightening. The neck line and décolleté contour become clearer and more pronounced
  • Improvement of skin texture. The skin becomes smooth and soft

Horizontal wrinkles on the neck, known as the rings of Venus, are also reduced, the overall skin tone is improved, and the visibility of age spots is noticeably reduced.

Indications for RF neck and décolleté lifting

Rf neck lifting is recommended to start at the age of 25–30, when the first signs of skin aging appear, or in order to prevent them. The technique has a positive effect on aging skin, increasing its firmness and elasticity.

RF lifting is performed in the presence of the following signs:

  • Decreased firmness and tone
  • Sagging, loss of elasticity
  • Formation of "rings of Venus" — horizontal folds
  • Appearance of folds and bends

  • Forma for the face. It has 14 pointed electrodes for pinpoint impact on smaller areas
  • Plus for the body. It includes 45 electrodes to cover larger areas

“Unlike other procedures, INMODE radiofrequency lifting shows excellent results after the first session. The technique is chosen as an express treatment before important events.” — says the doctor of “K+31”
