RADIO FREQUENCY
CARE GUIDE
Your guide to getting the most from your radio frequency skin tightening treatment, including important information before and after your session, what to expect and our recommended treatment plan.
Before your
Treatment
To help prepare your skin and ensure your treatment is suitable:
Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water in the lead-up to your appointment and arrive well hydrated.
Avoid excessive sun exposure
Avoid significant sun exposure or sunburn on the treatment area before your appointment.
Keep the area comfortable
Avoid waxing, strong exfoliation or anything that has left the treatment area irritated or sensitive.
Arrive with clean skin
For facial RF, arrive without makeup where possible. For body treatments, arrive with clean skin free from lotions, oils or fake tan on the treatment area.
Keep us informed
Let your therapist know about any medical conditions, medications, recent procedures, implants or changes to your health.
After your
Treatment
To keep your skin comfortable and support your fresh Radio Frequency finish:​
Keep hydrated
Continue drinking plenty of water following your treatment.
Keep skincare gentle
Use gentle skincare and avoid strong actives or exfoliation if the treated skin feels warm or sensitive.
Avoid excessive heat
Avoid very hot showers, saunas, steam rooms or other excessive heat if the area remains warm following treatment.
Protect your skin
For facial or exposed areas, apply SPF 30+ and minimise excessive sun exposure.
Listen to your skin
Mild warmth or temporary redness can occur after treatment and should gradually settle.
Continue your treatment plan
RF results are generally progressive, so a course of treatments may be recommended depending on your individual goals.
WHAT TO EXPECT
During treatment, you will feel a gradual warming sensation as the RF energy heats the targeted tissue. The treatment should feel warm and comfortable rather than painful.
Afterwards, the treated area may feel warm and appear slightly pink or flushed. This is generally temporary and should gradually settle.
Results develop progressively rather than immediately. Depending on the area being treated and your individual response, the skin may gradually appear firmer, smoother and more refined over time.
