TREATMENTS
Radio frequency
The face lift with out the surgery and the ultimate “cellulite-busting” solution to smoother, firmer skin.
What is Radio Frequency?
Radio Frequency treatments can be used to reshape both body and face. It acts on the deeper layers of skin to cause tightening and remodelling of contours.
Is it safe?
This procedure is completely safe and is FDA approved.
How does it Work?
Radio Frequency treatments work by delivery of energy (in the form of heat) to the dermis (the deepest layer of skin) and sub-dermal layers without damaging the top layer of skin or epidermis. Heating in this area causes collagen contraction, realignment and new collagen production which continues to build over several months. By promoting the production of healthy collagen, Radio Frequency can help to firm and sculpt your face and body resulting in tighter, younger looking skin. Full results are noticeable approximately 2 -3 weeks after treatment.
Which product should I use?
Here at The Otto Clinic we use Accent Radio Frequency which is one of the most advanced machines available in the market. Where can it be used? Radio frequency has many applications on both body and face and can be used to solve or dramatically improve the following problems:
· Cellulite
· Fat Reduction
· Skin Tightening
· Acne Treatment
· Post Liposuction Smoothing and Tightening of Buttocks
· Volumetric Dermal Therapy/Contour Reshaping
What does the treatment feel like?
Many RF machines are associated with discomfort during treatment however Accent RF is a revolutionary device which ensures that patients will not experience discomfort during either facial or body treatments.
What after care is needed?
Because no external wound is created, Radio Frequency treatments are ideal for patients who cannot set aside healing time as required by surgical procedures. Patients can therefore return to everyday life immediately.
How long will the effects last?
We recommend three treatments and the results should last approximately 12-18 months. Repeat treatments are advised to maintain the results.
How often should I have the treatment done?
Our experience to date has indicated that patients achieve a greater degree of tightening after three treatments however, as with all our treatments, your Otto Clinic Consultant will advise you of the treatment frequency required, depending on your skin condition, to maintain your improved appearance.
Who is not suitable?
Patients with pace-makers cannot be treated as the RF may interfere with these devices. It is not advised for patients who are pregnant to undergo Radio Frequency treatments. Are there any side effects? There are no adverse side effects.
