THE TREATMENT
Firmer Skin From the Inside Out
Radio frequency skin tightening is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to deliver controlled heat deep into the dermis. This heat stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for keeping skin firm, smooth and resilient. As collagen remodels and new fibres form, the skin gradually becomes tighter, firmer and more lifted.
The treatment is comfortable, painless and requires no anaesthetic or recovery time. A handheld device is passed over the treatment area, delivering a gentle warming sensation to the skin. Most patients find it relaxing.
Radio frequency is suitable for mild to moderate skin laxity on the face, neck, abdomen, arms and thighs. Results are cumulative and improve progressively over a course of appointments.
Who is Suitable
Radio frequency is suitable for those with mild to moderate skin laxity. It is not recommended for those who are pregnant, have a pacemaker or metal implants in the treatment area, or have active skin conditions in the area to be treated.

How it works
Heat. Stimulate. Tighten.
A handheld device with multiple poles is passed over the treatment area, delivering controlled radio frequency waves into the deeper layers of the skin. The dermis is gently heated to around 42 degrees, triggering the skin’s natural repair response. Collagen fibres contract and tighten immediately, while new collagen and elastin production is stimulated over the weeks that follow.

What to Expect
Aftercare
Radio frequency requires no downtime and you can return to your normal activities straight away. Y
Immediately After Treatment
Your skin may feel warm and look slightly red immediately after treatment. This is normal and settles quickly. Avoid touching the treated area unnecessarily and keep the skin clean.
First 24 Hours
Avoid sun exposure, sunbeds, saunas and strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Keep the skin well moisturised. Drink plenty of water to support your body’s natural elimination process and help achieve the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions Answered
Does radio frequency skin tightening really work?
Yes. Radio frequency treatments have a strong clinical evidence base. By heating the dermis to stimulate collagen and elastin production, the skin becomes progressively firmer and tighter over a course of appointments. Results vary depending on age, skin type and the number of appointments completed.
What areas can be treated?
Radio frequency can be used on the abdomen, hips, flanks, inner and outer thighs, upper arms, bra and back rolls, buttocks and chin.
Is the treatment comfortable?
Yes. Most patients find radio frequency comfortable throughout and describe it as a warm massage. Some warmth and mild sensation may be experienced but it is not painful.
How long does an appointment take?
Around 30 minutes depending on the area being treated.
When will I see results?
Some minor improvements may be visible after the first appointment but results are cumulative. The most significant changes develop over the weeks and months following treatment as your body produces new collagen and elastin. Full results typically appear between 2 and 6 months after completing your course.
How many appointments do I need?
A course of 6 weekly appointments is recommended for optimal results. Those with more significant skin laxity may benefit from additional appointments. Maintenance treatments every few months will help sustain results long term.
Are there any side effects?
Possible side effects include temporary redness, swelling or a warm sensation in the treated area. These are mild and typically resolve within a few hours.
Is radio frequency suitable for everyone?
Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy, for those with a pacemaker, or for those with metal implants or screws in the treatment area. Some medical conditions and medications may also make treatment unsuitable. Please inform us of your full medical history at consultation.
Do I need to do anything to prepare?
Drink at least 8 glasses of water before and after treatment. Staying well hydrated supports your body’s natural processes and helps to achieve the best results.
Can radio frequency be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Radio frequency works particularly well when combined with ultrasound cavitation for complete body contouring. It can also complement other skin treatments as part of a tailored treatment plan.
Patient Reviews
What Our Patients Say
“Carrie is absolutely amazing. She explains everything clearly and really makes you feel at ease. Today was my follow up facial after my initial block of 6. I could not wait to come back for my facial. The treatment is so relaxing and l have noticed a great improvement in my skin. My skin is looking tighter especially around the jowls. Absolutely delighted with the results.”
Linda K.
“I am super pleased with the results of my first ever lip filler treatment. Following my initial consultation with Steph, I was 100% confident that I was in safe hands. I wanted a natural, subtle result (without the ‘you’ve had your lips done’ look!) and that’s exactly what I got. Steph knew precisely how to achieve the look I desired, based on my lip shape. I would highly recommend Steph to anyone looking to get their lips enhanced”
Susan M.
“I have been going to Stephanie for over 8 years now. She is amazing at what she does and wouldn’t go to anyone else. I travel all the way from East Lothian to see Steph because she is the best!”
