Fractional RF is one of the most modern Skin rejuvenation treatment methods. A safe and minimally invasive procedure that can give you great results without the hassle of surgery. This method uses immune radio waves that penetrate the middle layer of the skin and stimulate collagen production and other changes in the structure of the skin. These changes will ultimately improve the appearance and beauty of your skin.

How does fractional RF work?

The basis of the function of the fractional RF method is the effect on the superficial or deep layers of the skin. The skin is made up of several layers, the most superficial of which is called the epidermis. Beneath the epidermis is a layer of dermis that degrades in the aging process, causing skin aging. RF does two things for your skin:

1. Stimulates collagen production:

The energy generated by radiofrequency (RF) waves in the dermis layer stimulates collagen production. An important structural protein in skin tissue that is the cause of freshness, firmness and beauty of your skin. The energy of radio waves in the dermis layer is converted to heat; and rising temperatures are one of the stimulants of collagen production.

2. Activation of fibroplasia

Fibroplasia is the process by which the body makes fibrous tissue. Fibrous tissues stimulate collagen production, making these protein fibers shorter and stronger.

Tissue fibrosis occurs when any normal tissue in the body damages. Just like the thick, rough tissue that covers the superficial wounds of the skin. In fractional RF, we apply selective lesions to areas of the skin to form fibrous tissue. In this way, the dermis layer thickens and collagen production increases.

While we have damaged areas of the skin, there are also areas that remain healthy to help with collagen production and repair. In fact, the effect of RF on the narrow border is caused by minor and useful injuries and dangerous injuries and burns. This is the reason why this treatment is temporary. New fibrous tissue and collagens disappear after a while and natural skin tissue will replace them. This means that after a relatively long time, you have to go to the clinic again to repair and renew the effects of fractional RF.

Applicants of fractional RF method:

Fractional RF method has many therapeutic and cosmetic applications. But we can summarize the effects of this treatment in total cases:

1. Firming and rejuvenating the skin: Fractional RF causes volume, firming and smoothing of skin tissue. Therefore, it can improve the color and surface texture of the skin while eliminating facial lines and wrinkles.
2. Removing wound and scar marks: The main function of fractional RF is to stimulate collagen production in the skin tissue. Therefore, after the treatment, your skin will look healthier, more beautiful and more even. RF has great effects on removing acne and pimples as well as cracks caused by obesity and weight loss.
