Radio-frequency machines produce radio waves. These radio-waves heat up the collagen in the dermis and subcutaneous fat (fat under skin). Heat produced by radio-frequency contracts (shrinks) collagen in dermis and also stimulates collagen production. New collagen assist in the reduction of wrinkles, lines and cellulitis.

The local heating causes an immediate contraction of the collagen fibres and at the same time increases the metabolism of the Fibroblasts thereby accelerating the production of new Collagen and Elastic fibres.

The contraction of Collagen fibres and the regeneration of the Collagen and Elastin deposits, tighten the skin layers creating smoother, healthier and younger looking skin.

In general, skin treated will be immediately brighter and more compact, with an improvement in texture. Also, the areas with a lack of tone will be visibly firmer.
