Skin loses firmness as the collagen and elastin that support it gradually decline. Radiofrequency treatment at Blue Diamond Medical warms the deeper layers of the skin to encourage collagen production, which may help tighten and smooth areas of laxity on the face and body. Sessions take about 15 minutes, most patients find them comfortable, and downtime is usually minimal. Results vary, and a consultation confirms whether the treatment suits you.
Which of these is right for you is a decision for your physician, made at your consultation once they have assessed your skin — this page is a starting point, not a diagnosis.
Radiofrequency
Non-invasive tightening and smoothing of skin all over the body using RF waves (TempSure), improving tone and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
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.
How it feels
Most patients find it comfortable, and often describe a warm, massage-like sensation.
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.
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.
