Skin Tightening
for Body and Face with
Radio Frequency
What is Radio Frequency?
Radio Frequency (RF) is a frequency between 0.3-10 MHz that allows for skin penetration that tightens and tones the skin. RF allows for the skin to reach the temperature of 38-40 degrees to stimulate existing collagen and elastin for more firmer and denser skin. In addition, new collage and elastin is promoted to produce with the generated heat allowing for greater aid in skin youthfulness.
