Radio Frequency
Radio frequency is the ultimate skin tightening technology. Combined with mechanical Lymphatic drainage and LED light therapy the Dermatherm RF Trio provides incredible skin tightening results for both face and body.
Gentle waves of radio frequency are passed into the skin, creating comfortable heat in the lower layers. This heat kick starts skin functions that slow down with age, effectively making the skin behave as if it were younger. This leads to a tightening of elastin fibres, more collagen production and increased turnover of skin cells. This combination has a profound effect on the appearance of lines, wrinkles, loose, sagging skin and poor/ sluggish complexions.
The introduction of simultaneous vacuum suction and LED technologies aids toxin drainage and microcirculation.
Red Light: Stimulates the skins cellular regeneration, facilitating tissue repair & rejuvenation. Also stimulates the lymphatic system, aiding in lymphatic drainage to reduce puffiness and remove waste toxins. Encourages and supports the production of collagen.
Blue Light: Reduces inflammation & provides an anti-bacterial effect, an ideal treatment for acne prone skin and reduces excess oil production.

How many treatments do I need?
Clients will often see and feel an instant difference after a single treatment.
​However, for best results a course of 6 treatments is recommended, depending on the skin's needs, ideally once a week initially. A course of monthly treatments to maintain these results is advised to follow on from this.
Pre Care:
-
Avoid treatments or activities which will cause inflammation in the time leading up to your appointment.
-
Avoid exercise, swimming and heat treatments such as the use of steam, sauna, sunbeds/sunbathing - 24 hours pre treatment
-
Avoid use of active skin care ingredients which may increase sensitivity e.g. glycolic, retinol, salicylic - 24 hours pre treatment
-
Avoid cosmetic injectables (such as botox and fillers) and strong peels for minimum of 2 weeks pre treatment
-
Avoid IPL and laser services in area to be treated for 2 weeks & ablative laser for up to 8 weeks.
After Care:
-
Avoid hot baths, sauna's etc and stay out of the sun. The main contra action of RF is erythema (redness of the skin) so your skin will be more sensitive to heat. This redness should subside within 24 hours but you may experience warmth and a mild sunburnt sensation so it is important to avoid other heat treatments.
-
Avoid the use of makeup and heavy moisturiser for 12 - 24 hours
-
For a body treatment - avoid tight fitting clothes for the area treated
-
Drink plenty of water (as always) - it is important to stay hydrated to help your skin heal and rejuvenate faster
