Radiofrequency has been used widely in the aesthetics industry since the 1990s. It’s always been an effective form of skin-tightening treatment. But of course, over 30 years of widespread real-world applications, radiofrequency’s effectiveness—and the technology that delivers it—has evolved in leaps and bounds.
And in the last four years, the pandemic has caused even more exponential improvement in skin tightening, contouring, collogen production and more using radiofrequency.
Now, the latest advancement in radiofrequency technology, Denza, is available right here for astonishing Bradenton skin-tightening results. Here’s what it is, how it works, and why you should give it a try.
What is Radiofrequency Skincare?
Radiofrequency skincare (often abbreviated RF) uses electromagnetic waves to generate thermal energy—ie penetrating heat. With the right technology, these electromagnetic waves can be directed at precise areas and target different levels of skin tissue.
The heat generated by RF triggers cell reproduction—including skin cells, collagen, and elastin. This means that your body produces brand-new cells right where the RF treatment hits.
New skin, collagen and elastin cells mean fuller skin all around, pulling your features taught again. The elastin also ensures that those features can stretch and bounce back, regaining retaining their shape rather than sagging and folding.
What Does Radiofrequency Treat?
Licensed aestheticians can treat a number of conditions all over the body using today’s RF technology. Better yet, it’s safe for all skin tones, with virtually no risk of hyper- or hypopigmentation side effects (unlike more invasive procedures).
We may recommend RF for:
- Wrinkle reduction
- Nonsurgical facelift
- Face and neck smoothing
- Retexturizing
- Overall skin toning
- Body contouring
Monopolar vs. Bipolar Radiofrequency
Today’s RF skincare treatments typically come in two applications: monopolar and bipolar. Their differences exist in what they treat. And while both forms of RF create instantaneous results in the cells they target, the difference for us is in how quickly those results can be seen by the outside world.
Monopolar RF delivers its thermal energy to the reticular dermis, or the deepest, innermost layer of the skin tissue. This is the very foundation of your skin, so by using monopolar RF, you’re creating a stronger, healthier base layer for a fuller, stronger appearance. Of course, your new collagen growth can take longer to be visible on the surface—sometimes up to six weeks.
Bipolar RF triggers skin regeneration and collagen and elastin production on the papillary dermis, or the thin, top layer of your skin. While some wrinkles can go deeper, the papillary dermis is the home of the fine lines. Bipolar RF creates results that can be seen almost instantly, often within 20 minutes.
Denza Radiofrequency vs. Thermage
Thermage has been the big name in radiofrequency treatments for more than a decade. Thermage made monopolar radiofrequency treatments famous. Unfortunately, the earliest versions of this treatment were quite painful, causing a stinging, burning sensation that continues to discourage many people from seeking out radiofrequency.
Recent advancements have meant passing the torch to even more powerful, more effective, and more comfortable RF tools.
Denza represents a revolution in radiofrequency skincare because it combines monopolar and bipolar RF, alternating between the two without sacrificing the effectiveness of either treatment. Denza also utilizes a unique adjustable application design with customizable cryogen cooling that maximizes patient comfort.
That means that one treatment from our Denza technology produces immediate skin-tightening results, with even more dramatic results developing in the months that follow. Denza results don’t fade; in fact, they keep getting better.
Denza is now at the forefront of radiofrequency devices, and that’s why we chose it for our Bradenton medspa and skincare studio.
