Will radiofrequency beauty have side effects?

Radio frequency beauty is a common beauty technology nowadays. It can make our skin tighter through radio frequency methods, thereby achieving the effect of face slimming and wrinkle removal. However, when doing radio frequency beauty, we should also pay attention to the patients with deep wrinkles, heavy crow's feet, and obvious skin sagging. It is effective, but not suitable for patients with skin injuries and inflammation, or who have had a pacemaker installed. These patients may have side effects after the treatment.

Adapt to the crowd

① Deeper wrinkles and mild to moderate skin sagging: forehead lines, frown lines, crow's feet, nose root lines, nasolabial folds, perioral wrinkles, neck wrinkles, etc., especially forehead lines and periorbital wrinkles.

② Remove double mandible.

③ Radio frequency slimming: used for muscular calf shaping, masseter muscle hypertrophy and face slimming, etc.

④ Atrophic stretch marks such as stretch marks.

⑤ Skin tightening after liposuction, etc.

Taboo group

① There are local lesions such as injury or inflammation at the treatment site.

② Patients with diseases that affect conductivity, such as dry skin.

③ Patients with pacemakers.

Anti-wrinkle and skin tightening

The application of radio frequency in facial rejuvenation such as wrinkle removal is also known as "radio frequency skin tightening" or "ice radio frequency skin tightening". Radiofrequency wrinkle removal is achieved by using a radio frequency therapy device to emit radio waves into the subcutaneous tissue, causing the natural resistance of the subcutaneous tissue to move and generate heat energy. It uses the principle that the collagen fibers in the dermis will immediately contract at 55-70℃. The radiofrequency skin tightening principle has the dual functions of lifting the skin and promoting collagen regeneration. While the collagen produces immediate contraction, it also stimulates the dermis to secrete more new collagen fibers for regeneration, thereby supporting the skin's scaffold again, increasing the thickness and density of the skin's dermis, filling wrinkles, and improving sagging. The effect of a course of radiofrequency wrinkle removal treatment lasts for 2-3 years.

Treatment of stretch marks

Stretch marks are caused by the enlarged uterus bulging outward after pregnancy. When it exceeds the limit of the skin's elastic fibers, the elastic fibers break and the rectus abdominis tendon separates to varying degrees. As a result, irregular pink or purple longitudinal cracks appear on the skin of the abdomen. Radio frequency waves can penetrate the barrier of melanocytes at the base of the epidermis, heating the collagen fibers in the dermis to 55-65°C. The collagen fibers shrink and the skin at the stretch marks is tightened. At the same time, the thermal effect causes collagen proliferation, and the new collagen is rearranged and increased in number, repairing the aged and damaged collagen layer, thereby reducing the length and width of linear stretch marks and achieving the purpose of reducing stretch marks. Radiofrequency beauty is suitable for mild stretch marks caused by sagging abdomen.

Radiofrequency slimming

Radio frequency technology can be applied to calf gastrocnemius hypertrophy and simple masseter muscle hypertrophy. This is because the radio frequency waves emitted by the radio frequency transmitter enter the target tissue from the uninsulated part of the tip of the radio frequency needle. The high-frequency alternating current can cause the tissue ions to vibrate with the direction of the current change, thereby causing ion oscillations in the tissue around the electrode. The ions collide with each other and rub to generate heat, that is, resistance heat generation, and the temperature can reach 90-120°C, causing a local high heat effect, prompting cavitation in the muscle fibers in the local radio frequency damaged area, and then shrinking, tightening, deforming, and atrophying, thereby improving the local muscle hypertrophy. The entire process of tissue change after Lido radiofrequency treatment takes about 3-6 months.

Precautions

Preoperative

Communicate fully with your doctor. Many people who need treatment are reluctant to undergo plastic surgery because of fear caused by lack of knowledge. In fact, these concerns can often be alleviated by talking to a doctor.

After surgery

Wrinkle removal and stretch mark treatment

① Since the skin may become slightly flaky or dry, a mild moisturizer may be used after surgery.

② Reduce sun exposure. Although there is no need to specifically avoid sun exposure after radiofrequency treatment, it is recommended to minimize sun exposure to prevent photoaging.

③ Do not bathe in hot water within one week after radiofrequency treatment (water that does not exceed body temperature is sufficient)

④ After radiofrequency treatment, please be careful not to take a hot spring bath or sauna for one week.
