IPL Skin Treatments
Radio Frequency
A Radiofrequency (RF) treatment is a non-surgical tightening treatment for those with the early signs of loose or sagging skin. It is ideal for those people seeking a non surgical option with little to no downtime.
Pure RF energy is used to treat the targeted area to improve firmness of the skin.
This treatment is best suited to patients with mild to moderate sagging of facial tissues, usually those in their mid 30s to 50s, with any skin colour.
