Radio Frequency Treatments

As we age our collagen production decreases, so by the time we reach our mid 40s it is barely in production (naturally).  Due to a lack of collagen we find that there is a lack of elasticity and we notice that the skin starts to sag forming lines and wrinkles.

Bodywise has invested heavily in a new piece of equipment to slow down the signs of ageing through non evasive techology.  Radio Frequency energy works by heating the dermal layers of your skin - the body responds by producing more collagen and tightening of the elastin fibres occurs.  Producing a tighter firmer skin.  No down time and no pain - just amazing results with longer lasting ones developing over time.

Course of 6 (over 12 weeks) recommended.

TIP: Drinking water before your appointment makes your treatment more effective.

RF is the application of electromagnetic energy to human skin tissues. RF energy works by heating the dermal layers of your skin (the energy is attracted to the water molecules under your skin, the water molecules begin to vibrate causing frictional heat).  When the inner layers are heated, the body responds by producing more collagen as it perceives there to be an injury (which of course there is not, as we do not heat the skin to intolerable level that would cause an injury).  The body’s response to this false perception is to produce collagen, which is its natural reparative response. It also prompts a tightening of the elastin fibres. Both these reactions result in a tighter and firmer skin.

The skin is heated to a surface temperature of around 37-42 degrees which is the optimum and perfectly safe temperature for collagen to be produced. This is a comfortable and pleasurable heat. Clients initially notice improvements to their skin tone and vibrancy, receiving comments such as “you’re looking well”. There is an immediate effect at a superficial level but the longer lasting results do not kick start for a month or more; so over the next few weeks and months after treatment you will begin to observe your lines and wrinkles smoothing out and looking much more improved.
