Do you ever look in the mirror and wish you could turn back the clock on your appearance? While skin changes, such as sagging and wrinkles, are a natural part of the aging process, you don’t have to live with them. If you’re bothered by these changes and wish to avoid surgery, you may want to consider a minimally invasive radiofrequency treatment, also known as RF therapy.
At Delta Medical Weight Management Center in Southaven, Mississippi, Dr. Ulric Duncan and his team proudly offer Morpheus8® radiofrequency technology for skin tightening and a better sculpted physique. Here, we explore this treatment, including ways RF energy can enhance your face.
How RF therapy works
Cosmetic radiofrequency therapy infuses electromagnetic waves deep into your skin to stimulate collagen production. This is important from an anti-aging perspective, because your skin produces less of this protein, which helps it stay firm, starting between age 35 and 40. Generally considered safe, RF therapy uses only small amounts of radiation, far less than common procedures such as X-rays.
After your RF treatment, you’ll likely notice some benefits straight away, with the most pronounced results appearing after three weeks. Because it can take awhile for new collagen to fully form, you may continue to see improvements for up to six months.
Skin benefits of RF therapy
Since 2001, radiofrequency energy has been used to reduce the signs of facial aging. The main benefits of RF therapy include tightening your skin and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Radiofrequency treatment, on its own or combined with other treatments, may also help contour your face by improving skin laxity.
The Morpheus 8 treatment we provide creates a tighter, more youthful-looking facial appearance by targeting excess fat tissue and contracting deep and superficial layers of your skin at the same time.
Morpheus 8 won’t leave your skin with the lumps or bumps that can stem from traditional liposuction. And because it uses more efficient, powerful energy transfer compared with other laser systems, you can expect more prominent results.
After your treatment, you can expect to return to your usual daily activities within a few days. In other words, RF therapy doesn’t bring the lengthy recovery time or other risks of surgery. And because it works with your skin’s natural processes, you won’t look as though you “just had work done.”
And these benefits don’t need to stop at your face. If you end up loving the results of your RF facial treatment, you can consider it for contouring other body areas as well, such as your abdomen, arms, neck, and thighs.
