The aging process breaks down collagen deep within the skin, causing sagging and wrinkles to appear on the surface. While we often think about these changes happening in the face, the whole body may experience skin laxity and other signs of aging. Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening can help restore collagen production by gently heating deep dermal layers of the skin while leaving the surface untouched. It’s effective for almost any part of the body, including the neck, chest, hips, thighs, face, and arms.
RF skin tightening is similar to other skin rejuvenation treatments, as it taps into the skin’s natural healing abilities and triggers collagen regeneration to smooth and tighten the skin at the surface. El Con Health and Wellness can help you decide if RF skin tightening is right for you and if you’ll benefit from pairing it with complementary treatments like PRP.
Our practice utilizes the FDA-approved Ultimate Contour system for RF skin tightening. This system uses tri-polar radiofrequency energy to heat deeper layers of skin, which are where collagen and elastin are produced. Heat causes existing collagen fibers to contract and triggers collagen regeneration as well as new elastin, which reduces skin laxity and creates a smoother overall appearance. You will notice results after a single treatment, but continued treatment sessions will further tighten the skin and help you achieve a more youthful overall appearance.
Because RF skin tightening targets the deeper layers of skin, it is painless and harmless for the outermost layers of skin. Patients often report a relaxing treatment experience, sometimes even comparing it to a hot stone massage. You will feel a gentle heating sensation beneath the skin, and there are no significant side effects—only mild redness in treated areas. You can return to your normal routine immediately after treatment.
Results are natural looking and long-lasting. Improvements in skin quality typically last about 6-12 months and can be restored with maintenance treatments. Utilizing medical grade skin care products can help prolong the results of your treatment.
One unique feature of RF skin tightening is the versatility of treatment. It can target a wide range of areas of the body along with the face. In areas like the thighs and hips, RF skin tightening can even address cellulite for an exceptionally smooth appearance.
Wonderful service and experience overall. I recommend this place 100%. The service I’ve received at other locations does not compare. -Hannia Martinez
