Does radiofrequency treatment hurt?

Most patients find it comfortable and describe a warm, massage-like sensation rather than pain.

How long does a radiofrequency session take?

Face and neck treatments take 40–90 minutes depending on the area; body areas are treated with non-invasive pads over about 20 minutes.

Is there any downtime?

Virtually none — you can return to your usual activities right away. A medical-grade sunscreen is recommended afterward to protect results.

Radiofrequency

How it works

A handheld device passes RF waves across the treatment area in a circular motion, gently raising the skin's temperature. The resulting heat penetrates the skin layers and stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Face and neck treatments (handheld roller over face, neck, and décolletage) take 40–90 minutes depending on area. Body areas are treated with non-invasive pads over about 20 minutes.

Downtime

Downtime is not typically expected, although individual responses vary. Most patients can return to their usual activities right away. Follow your clinician's advice about sunscreen after treatment.

When you'll see results

Results are gradual rather than immediate — skin looks fresher within a few days, but the most noticeable results appear about 6–8 weeks after the first treatment.

Suggested course

A course of 3–5 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended. Results may last up to two years, although individual responses vary.
