Radio waves are used in cosmetology and aesthetics as a thermal technology that supports skin tension. They are most often considered for laxity, loss of firmness, work on selected body areas and contouring treatments.
This is not a weight-loss method or a way to change the figure instantly. Well-planned radiofrequency works in stages and requires realistic expectations.
How does radiofrequency work?
Radio waves deliver thermal energy to the tissues. In aesthetics this effect is used, among other things, to work on skin tension and the appearance of areas where the skin is less firm. The parameters, sensations and scope of the treatment depend on the device, the area and the qualification.
The effect does not come from a one-off “tightening” of the skin, but from the response of the tissues and the regularity of the treatments.
When can radio waves make sense?
- with mild or moderate skin laxity
- as part of a body plan together with movement, hydration and care
- when there is a need to improve tension after weight reduction or periods of lower activity
- as a complement to contouring series, for example when working on the thighs, abdomen or arms
- when the client understands that the effect builds up gradually
When not to promise too much?
With a large excess of skin, significant sagging, stretch marks, connective-tissue diseases or the expectation of a surgical effect, a salon treatment may give a limited result. Then an honest consultation is more important than selling a series.
In our offer, different approaches can be combined, for example Thermogenique Body Shape Extreme, ultrasonic liposuction or carboxytherapy of selected areas, but the choice depends on the goal and the contraindications.
Contraindications and caution
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, active inflammation, sensory disorders, electronic implants, certain chronic conditions, recent procedures, circulatory disorders or medications affecting the skin require discussion before the treatment. In case of doubt, we postpone the decision until a consultation.
Radio waves are a good tool when the goal is well named: improving the tension and quality of the skin, not a promise of a spectacular transformation after one visit.
