What is radiofrequency?
Radiofrequency (RF) is part of overall patient care. It is non-invasive, which is the current trend due to patient demand and the principle of safety, with no notable side effects and extremely simple after-effects (no haematomas or risk of hyperpigmentation), with only an erythema lasting a few minutes or hours.
Patients who have had RF sessions feel an immediate benefit; they describe tighter skin (no doubt due to the immediate contraction of collagen) and after a few weeks (on average 6) talk of perfectly visible retraction.
