Thermal RF Refresh

How many treatments do I need?

We recommend 4-6 treatments as often as every 2 weeks. Skin tightening might be noticeable immediately post-procedure, but optimal results from collagen rebuilding can take 3-6 months.

Is there downtime?

No. Not at all.

Is the treatment painful?

No. The treatment is not painful and actually quite pleasant.

Pre-Treatment

• 3 days prior to treatment, do not use topicals containing Retin-A, Glycolic or Salicylic acid, as this can irritate the skin.

• Please arrive makeup and moisturizer free.

Post-Treatment

RF treatments are typically very well tolerated with little to no discomfort and no downtime and cause no damage to the surface of the skin. You may experience mild swelling and redness of the skin after treatment that usually resolves within 24 hrs. Skin tightening might be noticeable immediately post-procedure, but optimal results from collagen rebuilding can take 3-6 months to become apparent.

• Continue to apply sun protection daily to maximize your results and minimize irritation and prevent hyperpigmentation

• Apply gentle moisturizer and sunscreen

• Mineral make-up can also be applied post treatment

• Avoid exfoliation, products with Active ingredients for one week after treatment.

As a matter of caution, advise the patient to be cautious of receiving the following treatments prior to the timeline outlined per treatment, after their present treatment:

• Face lift or eyelid surgery within a year after present RF treatment.

• Facial dermabrasion, facial resurfacing, or deep chemical peeling within the last three months from the present RF treatment

• Treatment with light, RF or other devices in the treated area within 1 month after the present RF treatment

• To avoid shaving the face for 1 week post procedure.
