RF Lifting
Radiofrequency heat warms the dermis, aiming to support skin firmness.
A lifting treatment that evenly warms the dermis
RF lifting uses radiofrequency energy, which turns into heat inside the skin, to warm the dermis and the tissue beneath it.
Because it can cover the whole face, it's often considered when the skin has thinned and looks generally lax. Sensitivity to heat varies, so we adjust the settings as we go.
