What is radiofrequency?

Radiofrequency (RF) is a noninvasive treatment that uses energy waves to heat the deeper layers of your skin. This heat stimulates collagen production, which helps tighten and firm your skin. Collagen is a protein that keeps your skin elastic (bouncy) and firm.

Your skin’s collagen production decreases with age, causing it to sag and wrinkle. By penetrating your skin, radiofrequency can restore its youthful texture.

How can radiofrequency improve my appearance?

RF treatments can improve your skin in several ways. Mehrshid may recommend RF treatments if you struggle with:

Wrinkles or fine lines
Loose or sagging skin
Uneven skin tone or texture
Cellulite
Mild fat deposits
Scarring, including acne scars
Stretch marks
Under-eye bags or puffiness
Jowls or double chin
Enlarged pores

Even if you don’t have specific concerns, RF treatments can enhance your skin’s overall radiance.

What does radiofrequency involve?

During an RF treatment, Mehrshid applies a specialized device to your skin that emits energy, which gently heats the deeper layers of your skin. This heat stimulates collagen production, helping to tighten your skin and improve its texture. The procedure usually takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Most people describe the sensation as warm but tolerable. There's no need for downtime after the session, so you can return to your normal activities right away. You may notice some redness or slight swelling, but this typically fades within a few hours.

How many radiofrequency treatments will I need?

The number of RF treatments you need depends on your specific goals and the condition treated. Most people start to see noticeable improvements after 3-6 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. However, the exact number can vary based on your skin type, the area being treated, and how your body responds to the therapy.

Mehrshid can develop a personalized treatment plan that targets each of your skin concerns safely and effectively, whether you have an uneven skin tone or unwanted acne scars.

RF treatments give your skin a beautiful, healthy glow with minimal side effects. To find out if this treatment is right for you, call Mehrshid Tohid Acupuncture today or schedule an appointment online.
