The popularity of RF skin tightening treatments is rising in Bangalore because they work great on younger patients who have just approached aging and want to postpone the aging signs for longer. Recent data in the USA revealed that more than 188,000 Americans received non-surgical skin tightening procedures in 2020, and the number of skin rejuvenation clients continues to rise. The top reason for the increased demand for radiofrequency skin rejuvenation is that it is non-invasive, painless, and gives prompt results without requiring a longer recovery timeline. However, non-surgical skin tightening techniques, such as FORMA by InMode and Morpheous8, are the best cutting-edge techniques that work on bipolar radiofrequency energy and radiofrequency energy, respectively, to enhance the face and body contour and improve tone, texture, and firmness of skin without the intervention of invasive surgical methods.

What is Radio Frequency/ RF Skin Tightening Treatment?

Radiofrequency skin tightening, or the RF skin rejuvenation procedure uses an electromagnetic device to generate heat to stimulate collagen and elastin production and promote new skin cells, resulting in a firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin appearance. RF skin tightening works on radiofrequency energy, giving prompt results without surgical intervention, downtime, or post-op care. Moreover, it fixes lax and crepey skin on the face, neck, and body, improving the contour, and is an effective medium to postpone surgery. Even though results are temporary, it is the best alternative to lift and firm the sagging skin when a patient is either not ready for surgery or does not meet the criteria for an invasive facelift procedure. RF microneedling skin tightening treatment is ideal for skin rejuvenation regardless of gender and skin tone. Still, additional treatments may be required for more aged skin to achieve the desired results.

What are the Benefits of RF skin tightening treatment?

  • RF skin tightening has many benefits over surgical rejuvenation procedures, which should be communicated during the introductory consultation to help the patient make an informed decision.
  • The top advantages of having radiofrequency skin tightening are listed below:
  • It is a non-surgical, non-invasive, safe, and effective method for promoting new skin cells and stimulating collagen and elastin production.
  • RF micro needling with the Morppheous8 technique has dual effects: it promotes collagen production and firms the skin with improved tone, texture, and contour.
  • InMode by FORMA works on bipolar radiofrequency energy to heat the skin with real-time temperature control, improving collagen production and skin laxity.
  • Radiofrequency skin tightening treatments work great for younger people just starting to notice primary signs of aging.

Comparing Radiofrequency Skin Tightening Treatment with Surgical Alternatives:

Radiofrequency skin tightening gives the benefits of surgical facelift/ rhytidectomy without the need for surgery. One must note that the method of radiofrequency skin rejuvenation is a non-invasive procedure. However, there is no need for post-treatment care or limitations. One can resume a normal daily routine just after having the treatment session. Even if a patient experiences mild redness and swelling (edema) after the treatment, these side effects should settle within 24 hours. In rare cases, burns can be caused by radiofrequency treatment if a practitioner is a novice or has less experience in handling the devices. However, it is strongly recommended to choose only a board-certified cosmetologist and an accredited cosmetic center that uses FDA-approved radiofrequency devices for the procedure, and those are safe for use on the skin.

Why Consider Non-surgical Skin Tightening?

  • Tightens mild to moderately loose skin and addresses sagging skin concerns by effectively minimizing the fine lines and wrinkles on the face, neck, and body.
  • It gives a remarkable lifting effect without the need for surgical intervention.
  • Almost no downtime or very little healing period is required (when a patient has sensitive skin).
  • There is almost no side effect if a qualified provider performs the procedure.
  • Typically, the treatment can take about one hour or less.
  • Depending on skin type, genetics, and physiology, the results of radiofrequency skin tightening can last up to one year or more.
Surgical skin tightening procedures: Facelift, Neck lift, and Brow lift:

Surgical skin rejuvenation includes a variety of facelift procedures and other lifts, such as a brow lift, eyelid lift, or a neck lift. Of course, surgical facelift is the best resort to deal with static signs of aging, i.e., stubborn sagging skin and wrinkles, offering dramatic effect. One must meet the candidacy criteria to undergo facelift surgery, meaning they have signs of aging but still have some skin elasticity. Moreover, soft skin and neck tissues should sag with deep wrinkles, a double chin, or jowls. Moreover, you should not be overweight to undergo surgical facelift procedures.

Some limitations of surgical facelift, include:
  • One must avoid rigorous exercise for about 3-4 weeks post-surgery or until the plastic surgeon says it is okay.
  • A surgical facelift is expensive and may require another procedure or procedures down the line to maintain a long-lasting effect.
  • One must accept that a facelift is not a permanent solution, as aging is a natural process. However, one may need revision surgery after 10-12 years.

In summary, both surgical and non-surgical methods can deliver impressive results. However, the choice should be based on your aging status, skin type, physiology, and anatomy. To determine the best option for you, it is advisable to consult with a board-certified cosmetologist in person.
