How does Radiofrequency Work?

Radiofrequency energy is used to heat the skin tissue to stimulate collagen production to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and tighten the skin.

Using a safe and effective delivery head, Radiofrequency (RF) energy is applied to the skin, causing gentle heating of the tissue.

The heating action accelerates collagen production and leads to a contraction of the collagen fibres, restructuring and tightening the skin.

Treatment Procedure

A thin layer of cosmetic product or gel is applied to the treatment area and the RF applicator is moved in circular motions over the skin. The RF will heat the skin and deeper subcutaneous tissue layers.

Once the required temperature is reached, it is maintained at this temperature for a few minutes, ensuring that it is not overheated. The technical expertise of the Therapist is in maintaining a suitable temperature over the treatment range without allowing it to cool or over heat the former diminishing the clinical results and the latter raising the risk of causing thermal damage.

Treatment Suitability

Treatment during pregnancy is not advised.

ENDYMED TIGHTEN Facial Skin Tightening & Lifting

A pain free treatment that tightens and lifts lax skin on the cheek, jowl and neck areas as well as around the eyes.

Tailored treatments target specific areas of concern for the most effective results:

• Face & Neck: Tightens and lifts lax and sagging skin in the cheek, jowl and neck.
• iFINE: Tightens and lifts skin in the delicate eye area and smooths fine lines and wrinkles.
• V-SHAPE: Focused and deep skin tightening and contouring for the jowls and submental area, for a more defined jawline.

How does it work?

ENDYMED TIGHTEN treatment uses an advanced form of radiofrequency energy, 3DEEP Skin Science, to heat deep within the skin where collagen is formed.

This heat causes an instant lift as your existing collagen contracts, but it also triggers a heat response in your skin that stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen, which is what gives you the natural, long-lasting results in skin tightening and lifting. The heat response also triggers other rejuvenating processes in your skin, improving its overall underlying structure and hydration.

After each treatment as your collagen contracts you will have an immediate lift and a healthy glow, the perfect pick-me up before a big event! Optimum results will be seen 3 months after your treatment course once the new collagen has been produced.

ENDYMED TIGHTEN is suitable for all skin types and has an excellent safety profile. Treatments are pain-free, most find them very relaxing – and there’s no downtime.

Each treatment will last between 20 and 40 minutes depending on the area that you’re having treated, and it’s recommended that you follow a course of six treatments overall. You can then return for ‘top-up’ treatments to maintain and enhance the results that you’ve already seen.

Facial Tightening

Course of 6 treatments over 8 weeks (every 7-10 days)

iFINE – eye tightening
SMALL – cheeks and neck tightening (essential all round handpiece)
MINISHAPER – jowl and submental tightening for heavier jowls

Final result seen at 3 months after final treatment and there we recommend a top up treatment.
