Radio Frequency Skin Tightening 

​Radio Frequency Skin Tightening Pre and Post Care Guide

Radio Frequency is a great way to address facial elasticity and other body based problem areas. For maximum results, It’s important to combine your Radio Frequency Skin Tightening treatment with home care and after care that supports your body. Body Shapest stock all products we use on your face during your treatment. Including facial scrubs, cleaners, toners and various specialised infusion Vitamin C serums.

Pre Treatment

• A mild exfoliation scrub prior to RF will prepare your skin to get maximum results. Your treatment clinician will advise you of exfoliation options that are appropriate for your skin type.

• To achieve optimal and long-lasting results, it is highly recommended you follow your therapists advice for home skin care, before, between and after treatment. Your therapist will advice the best suited Infusion and home treatment plan for your skin and concerns.

What to Expect

• Few but some clients experience mild heat and redness following treatment (similar to sunburn), which usually resolves quickly. You may wear a mineral based foundation to conceal any redness.

• Swelling rarely occurs and usually diminishes within 24-48 hours.

• Most people find that they can return to work and resume normal activities immediately after treatment.

• RF heats the skin to cause retraction of the collagen fibers, so it is important not to cool it immediately afterwards as the inflammation encourages results. If you have any concerns, or feel your skin may be heating excessively, please contact your treatment clinician.

Post Treatment

• Any deep exfoliation treatment – such as chemical peels or skin needling, should be avoided a week prior to and a week following your treatment.

• Extreme exercise, swimming, spas, a hot shower and anything that involves increasing your body temperature to a high level, may increase the redness flare up of the area, for the first 24-48 hours.

• A professional range of 30+ sunscreen will be applied immediately following your treatment by your therapist and reapplied as necessary over the following 72 hours.
