Radiofrequency Skin Tightening

Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is like giving your skin a little boost by using radiofrequency energy.  Here's the lowdown:

Think of radiofrequency as a gentle, non-invasive way to stimulate collagen, which is like the support structure of your skin.  Collagen is responsible for keeping your skin firm and elastic.  Over time, due to factors like aging and sun exposure, collagen can break down, leading to wrinkles and sagging.

During RF skin tightening, a device delivers radiofrequency energy to the deeper layers of your skin.  This energy heats up the tissue, prompting your body to kick into collagen-producing mode.  As new collagen forms, it helps tighten and firm up your skin, reducing wrinkles and giving you a more youthful appearance.  The cool part is that RF treatments are usually comfortable, and there's little to no downtime.

It's like a mini spa day for your skin!  Just remember, while RF skin tightening can be effective for mild to moderate skin sagging, individual results can vary.  Contact Sky Beauty Medical to find out if this treatment is right for you.  

PREPARING for your Body Sculpting Treatments:
● Begin therapeutic hydration at least 24-48 hours before your first treatment: drink at least 64-ounces of water/day during the days leading up to your treatment (tea, soft drinks, juice, etc. does not count in your 64-ounce totals)
● Avoid alcohol within 24 hours of your treatment; alcohol dehydrates your body and limits your liver’s capabilities to eliminate fats, fluids, toxins
● Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications such as Ibuprofen, Aleve, Aspirin, etc. for 2 days before your treatments
● Dress in comfortable clothes the day of your treatment - Disposable bikinis are provided with each treatment as an option - Ultrasound Gel is water soluble and will not stain but may leave residue
● Avoid eating immediately prior to your appointment, but do not arrive with an empty stomach; it is ideal to eat a small meal 2-3 hours prior to your appointments
● Arrive a few minutes prior to your appointment time to allow for time to complete any needed paperwork, and visit the restroom prior to your treatment

What to do AFTER your Body Sculpting treatments:
● Continue to drink at least 64 ounces of water (not tea, soda, etc.) each day throughout the treatment series
● Limit (preferably eliminate) alcohol during your treatment series. Alcohol can prevent your liver from working efficiently to remove fats, fluids, toxins. This can hinder the results of your treatments
● Start or continue a regular exercise regimen. We recommend walking 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week
● Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications (such as Ibuprofen, Aleve, Aspirin, etc.) for 2 days following each treatment as this may hinder your results
● Maintain a healthy diet - low carb, low starch, low sugar - for best results
● Massage the treated area to stimulate lymph movement. Your treatment specialist will show you how to do this
