How to Choose the Best Radio Frequency Procedure and How Do They Actually Work?
Radio Frequency (RF) Treatments are a non invasive way to tighten sagging skin- typically on the lower face. These treatments stimulate the production of collagen by using radio frequency energy to heat the dermis, which is the deeper layers of the skin. This helps to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles that occur as we age. Collagen is an important protein that is the key to maintaining that plump look to the skin needed to avoid sagging. Over time our bodies naturally decrease the production of collagen. If you noticed the first signs of aging and you are troubled by sagging skin then considering an RF Treatment is a great idea!
Choosing the right option for you should be something you discuss with a licensed professional, like Dr. Perich at Perich Aesthetics. However, before you get to your appointment let’s take a closer look at a few of our top RF treatment options.
If you have sagging skin in the face or neck areas, FaceTite and AccuTite are great treatments to consider. Instead of having a traditional facelift that is invasive and has some down time, these two treatments are quick and give the best results. As you may have guessed from the similar names, they are very similar treatments. FaceTite focuses on the entire face and lower face areas including jowls and double chin while AccuTite is designed to target the smaller, detailed areas on your face like puffy lower eyelids. If you just have issues at the brows, upper or lower eyelids, laugh lines, smile lines, or neck, then AccuTite would be a great treatment to consider. If you are self conscious about your falling brows, upper or lower eyelids, laugh lines, smile lines, or sagging skin, then AccuTite would be a great treatment to consider. If a facelift has been on your mind but you really don’t want to go through the surgery, then FaceTite would be what you would want to talk with your doctor about.
If you have uneven skin tone or want to contour the face to create a smoother, sleeker look then Morpheus8 could be the right choice for you. Morpheus8 combines radio frequency energy with microneedling to remodel the collagen in that deep layers of the skin. What is microneedling? It is a skin tightening technique that uses tiny pins to prick the skin and go between 2-4 millimeters deep, depending on your needs. This anti-aging treatment is very hot right now for both men and women and it can even be used on the body in addition to the face. This treatment is really great for people with scarring from acne scares too!
