🌟 Radio Frequency Pre-Treatment Guide

Prepare your skin for collagen stimulation and visible tightening.

🔬 What to Know Before Your Radio Frequency Treatment

Radio Frequency (RF) is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses controlled heat to boost collagen, lift laxity, and smooth fine lines. It’s gentle, effective, and suitable for the face, neck, and body. To ensure the safest and most effective outcome, follow the pre-care steps below.

📅 1–2 Weeks Before Your Appointment

• No Injectables: Avoid wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers in the treatment area for at least 2 weeks.
• Discontinue Active Skincare: Stop using retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and vitamin C in the area to be treated.
• Avoid Sun Exposure: No tanning, sunburn, or fake tan on the area for at least 7–10 days.
• Medical Conditions: Let your therapist know if you have any metal implants, pacemakers, epilepsy, or other medical concerns.
• Medication Disclosure: Inform us of any blood thinners, antibiotics, or medications that affect sensitivity.

🧴 3–5 Days Before Treatment

• Hydrate and Nourish: Drink plenty of water and moisturise the skin using products like Barrier+ or Harmony+ Cream.
• No Peels or Exfoliation: Avoid laser, peels, microneedling, or dermaplaning in the area to be treated.
• No Active Breakouts: Skin must be intact and free from active acne or open lesions.

📍 On the Day of Your Treatment

• Clean Skin: Arrive with freshly cleansed skin — no makeup, skincare, moisturiser, or SPF.
• No Caffeine or Alcohol: Avoid both for 12–24 hours to minimise inflammation and heat response.
• Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothes if treating neck, arms, or body.
• Remove Jewellery: All metal in or near the treatment area should be removed prior to the session.

⚠️ Important Notes

• Hydration is Key: Well-hydrated skin conducts RF energy more efficiently for better results.
• Avoid Heat Exposure Post-Treatment: No hot showers, steam rooms, or vigorous workouts for 24–48 hours.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: RF is not suitable during pregnancy and should be discussed prior to booking if breastfeeding.
• Cumulative Results: RF is best performed in a series of 4–6 sessions for maximum collagen stimulation.

✨ Radio Frequency Aftercare Guide

Support collagen renewal, prolong your lift, and maintain radiant results with Pro-Age Skincare.

💫 What to Expect After Your Radio Frequency Treatment

After your treatment, your skin may feel warm, flushed, or slightly tight — this is a normal response as collagen production is stimulated deep within the dermis. Most redness subsides within a few hours, though mild sensitivity may last 24–48 hours. There is little to no downtime, making RF ideal for ongoing skin health.

Proper post-care supports long-term firming, tightening, and glow.

🕊️ First 24–48 Hours: Soothe & Strengthen

• Do Not Overheat the Skin: Avoid hot showers, saunas, and exercise for 24–48 hours.
• Cleanse Gently: Use Calm+ Cleanser with lukewarm water and your hands only — no cloths or scrubs.
• Mist to Soothe: Calm+ Mist can be applied to reduce warmth or redness and promote skin comfort.
• Boost with Recovery+ Serum: Apply morning and night to replenish hydration, support healing, and reduce inflammation.
• Hydrate Deeply: Use Barrier+ Night Cream for barrier support and to lock in moisture if any dryness or sensitivity occurs.

☀️ Sun Protection Is Essential

• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks
• Apply SPF Daily and Reapply every 2 hours if outdoors
• Wear SPF-protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses

❌ Avoid These for 7–10 Days

• Retinoids (e.g. Renewal+)
• Active exfoliants (Glow+, Tone+, Refine+)
• Brightening actives (Inhibit+, Correct+)
• Scrubs, dermaplaning, or microdermabrasion
• Hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise
• Makeup for 24 hours (mineral only if needed)

🧖‍♀️ Optional Healing Boosters

Once skin feels calm:

• Collagen+ Dream Mask – ultra-nourishing cream mask with marine collagen, shea butter & jojoba oil
• Relief+ Oatmeal Mask – calming post-treatment mask for inflamed, compromised skin
• HydraFirm+ Sheet Mask – peptides + hyaluronic acid for instant plumping and soothing

Most clients describe RF as a warm, relaxing sensation. It’s comfortable and feels similar to a warm massage. There is no downtime or discomfort during or after the session.

RF can be safely used on the face, neck, jawline, jowls, and body areas such as the stomach, arms, and thighs. It’s commonly used to target sagging skin, loose jawlines, and under-eye crepiness.

For best results, a course of 6–8 weekly sessions is usually recommended, followed by maintenance treatments every 4–6 weeks depending on your skin goals and age.

Some clients notice an immediate skin tightening effect due to tissue contraction. However, the real results develop gradually over 6–12 weeks as collagen production increases.

No. There is no downtime with RF skin tightening. You may experience slight redness or warmth immediately after, which typically subsides within an hour.

Yes. Radio Frequency is safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types. However, suitability is always assessed during your initial consultation.

Absolutely. RF pairs beautifully with skin needling, LED therapy, and Pro-Age Skincare to boost results. Your therapist can recommend the ideal treatment plan.
