Fractionated radiofrequency therapy
"Like the fractionated CO2 laser, fractional radiofrequency is used to smooth and renew the skin. Radiofrequency is not a laser therapy, but the effects on the skin are very similar. We favor this procedure for large-pored skin, reddish and wide scars and stretch marks."
Fractionated radiofrequency therapy Mode of action
Fractional radiofrequency therapy uses bipolar radiofrequency to deliver targeted energy in the form of electricity to the skin. The energy is precisely delivered through 81 small applicators on the handpiece. This method results in minimal superficial skin damage, while the main effect unfolds deeper under the skin. This significantly stimulates collagen production under the skin, resulting in tightening and rejuvenation. This skin rejuvenation manifests itself in smoother, more even and healthier looking skin.
Fractionated radiofrequency therapy is used to treat the following skin problems:
- Skin tightening and smoothing on the face and neck
- Reduction of stretch marks by up to 50%
- Improvement of the skin texture
Compared to ablative laser treatments, this therapy offers significantly less recovery time as it only results in small superficial skin lesions, making it a safe and effective option for all skin types.
Fractionated radiofrequency therapy Procedure
Preparation for the treatment: Prior to radiofrequency therapy, an individual consultation is carried out to assess the skin condition and determine the treatment goal. Patients are advised to avoid direct sunlight and not to use irritating skin care products before treatment.
To make the treatment more comfortable, a light anesthetic cream can be applied before the session.
During the treatment: The duration of treatment varies between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the area to be treated. The handpiece with bipolar radio frequencies delivers the energy gently and evenly into the skin, which can lead to minimal pain. The treatment is designed to ensure optimal energy distribution and thus achieve the best results.
After the treatment: To soothe the skin, a cooling green tea mask or thermal water is applied immediately after the treatment. Within 24 to 72 hours after the treatment, small scabs may form, which must not be scratched. After about six days, the skin will begin to peel, and a gentle peeling can help to remove the fine scabs. To achieve optimal results, we recommend a series of three to six sessions, each four weeks apart. Progress is regularly monitored and discussed in our clinic by means of photo documentation.
