Shorthand for radio-frequency (RF) technology, the “Radio Facelift” is a revolutionary, non-invasive procedure that tightens skin, enhances facial contours and taps into the body’s precious collagen supply. This fast, easy procedure requires no incisions. A controlled amount of RF energy is delivered to the skin through the treatment tip of a hand-held instrument. When the tip of the ThermaCool™ device touches the skin, it heats collagen in the deeper layers while protecting the outer layer with cooling action. The unique heating treatment immediately causes a restorative tightening to begin in the underlying tissue. In time, new and remodeled collagen is produced to aid in the renewal process. Results vary, but are usually noticeable within one to six months after treatment. The benefits of the Radio Facelift treatment may last for 24 months and longer, depending on the patient’s natural aging process. See our before/after photos. Of the estimated 70,000+ patients treated to date, side effects were reported in only 1% of the cases.
