Skin Tightening Q & A
Why Radio Frequency (RF)?
Radio Frequency energy treatments have been FDA-cleared to help you look and feel more youthful and refreshed. These advanced radiofrequency energy therapies gently heat your skin to the deepest layers, which stimulates your existing collagen to tighten. It also promotes the development of new collagen.
Collagen is an important protein compound in your skin responsible for firmness and strength. These RF therapies are especially beneficial for facial treatments including:
- Wrinkles around the mouth
- Lines on the forehead or between the eyebrows
- Loose skin above or below the eye
- Crow’s feet
- Nasolabial folds
- Jowls
- Thin, crepey skin on the neck
To learn if you could benefit from Pellevé skin-tightening, consult with Dr. Riehm.
How many Radio Frequency treatments will I need to see results?
Patients often see results after just one treatment. To get maximum benefit, we normally recommend 1 treatment per decade of your age. For example, if you are in your 40’s, we would recommend 4 treatments spaced about one month apart. Dr. Riehm and her team will offer a customized plan that is tailored to your skin’s health and aesthetic goals.
