How it Works

Duration:45 minutes

Anesthesia:None

Pain Level:Mild

Techniques:Radiofrequency

Technique Notes:Maintain consistent contact and continuous handpiece motion to avoid hotspots, aiming for uniform heating across each zone. Use adequate coupling medium and adjust energy based on skin thickness and patient feedback. Extra caution and reduced settings are recommended over thin or sensitive areas such as the periorbital and submental regions.

Multiple Sessions:Yes

Session Notes:A conductive gel is applied and a warm sensation is felt as energy is delivered in multiple passes. Mild, temporary erythema is expected immediately after. Visible tightening may be subtle at first, with collagen remodeling becoming more apparent over several weeks across a short series of sessions.

Post Treatment

Downtime:0 days

Post-care:Keep the area cool and moisturized for the first day, and avoid hot showers, saunas, and vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure while any redness persists. Hold strong actives (retinoids, exfoliating acids) for 24–48 hours unless otherwise advised.

Risks:Transient redness, warmth, and mild swelling are common and typically resolve within hours. Rare complications include superficial burns, blistering, or post-inflammatory pigment change, especially with excessive energy or poor contact. Very rarely, scarring or prolonged tenderness can occur.
