How Does It Work?
For skin tightening, imagine a slinky that is stretched out, and the radio waves heat up and shrink that slinky back to its original shape, creating a tighter and firmer complexion. Another example I give my aging patients is to imagine a table and a tablecloth. As we age, the table (our bones), muscles and fat pads begin to shrink and our tablecloth (our skin) gets larger as it loses its integrity from the breakdown of collagen and elastin. To correct the signs of aging in a holistic way, we must target both the table and the cloth simultaneously. The table can be built back up with a variety of dermal fillers by a certified injector, but the cloth or skin itself will still be loose. You do not want the patient ‘over-filled’ to compensate for the skin laxity. This is where RF comes in. Some of my clients like to joke and say they are getting ‘shrink wrapped,’ but what we are doing is tissue remodeling by heating the subdermal layer to increase the production of collagen
