RF (Radio Frequency) Treatment

What Is It?

Radio frequency (RF) is a form of non-ionizing radiation that has the lowest energy in the electromagnetic spectrum, thus is not harmful to our cells, but has enough energy to produce heat. The handpiece measures the heating of the tissue ensuring that the appropriate temperature is reached and maintained for the specified time. This thermal energy will cause the cells in the dermis (fibroblasts) to produce new collagen and elastin. Collagen is the primary building block of your dermis, giving it structure, support, and strength while elastin provides the natural stretchiness to our skin making it supple.

Radio frequency treatments of the face will result in a reduced appearance of forehead wrinkles, frown lines, crow’s feet, and smile lines. At 7-10 days post treatment, the rebuilding process begins; you can expect the benefits of collagen and elastin synthesis at 25-35 days post treatment. Optimal results are achieved with monthly treatments. Typically, one treatment per decade of life lived is recommended (ie: a 50-year-old would receive 5 monthly treatments). Lasting benefits will vary in time depending on your home care routine, quality of skincare products, sun exposure, and lifestyle such as alcohol intake and smoking habits. Typically, a maintenance session should be performed every 6-12 months.

Tissue heating treatments can be performed to areas on the body for contouring, skin tightening, and reduction in the appearance of cellulite.

At Eyes On You Aesthetics, we use the CynoSure TempSure Envi system.

For Dry Eye:
Radio Frequency (RF) treatment targets and rejuvenates the meibomian glands responsible for causing ocular surface disease (dry eye syndrome). It is the only technology we know of that reawakens glands that have stopped functioning. RF treatment gently and comfortably stimulates their ability to keep your tear film hydrated. Eyes feel comfortable and dry eye symptoms are improved or resolved.

For Skin:
RF treatment heats the skin for a specific duration of time which triggers the body’s natural collagen production response. This increase in collagen plumps and firms the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Skin appears firmer and more plump, without surgery, injections, or harmful toxins.

How Does It Work?

Using radio frequency waves we gently heat the skin for a set duration which produces a regenerative response in the body. This response reactivates meibomian glands into functioning (treating dry eye) and when applied to the skin reactives fibroblast cells into producing collagen.


What Are The Results?

Improved or resolved dry eye symptoms and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles on the area(s) treated. The meibomian glands on the eye begin to produce oil which holds the tear film on the eye in place, keeping eyes hydrated and comfortable. The collagen that is produced plumps and firms the skin. Skin appears more youthful and rejuvenated. You will walk out of the office with an instant glow, your skin feeling firmer and plumped.


What Does Treatment Look Like?

Once it has been established that you are a candidate for treatment we book you an appointment with our RF specialist. Treatment lasts anywhere from 30-60 minutes depending on the area(s) chosen to treat. You will be lying down and the RF wand massaged in a continuous movement to heat the skin. The sensation has been described as that of a hot stone massage. Post-treatment you might find skin slightly reddened but there is no downtime - you can continue on with your day right after leaving the office. The areas we treat in-office are the eyes, face and neck.
