What Is Radiofrequency Treatment?

Radiofrequency (RF) is a non-surgical treatment that uses controlled thermal energy to gently heat deeper layers of tissue.

This warming effect may help stimulate:

New collagen production
Elastin remodelling
Improved circulation
Tissue tightening
Smoother skin texture
Reduction in mild localised fat or cellulite appearance

Ocean Clinic explains that RF can heat different tissue depths, from the skin to the subcutaneous layer, making it useful for both anti-ageing and body contouring.

Risks & Considerations

✓ Temporary sensitivity

Significant excess skin or advanced laxity may still require surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions - Radiofrequency

Radiofrequency uses controlled heat to stimulate collagen, tighten skin and improve contour.

Many patients need a course of 3 to 10 sessions depending on the area treated and treatment goals.

Downtime is usually minimal or none, and many patients return to normal activities the same day.

It may help improve the appearance of cellulite and skin texture in suitable patients.

It may improve mild laxity, but surgery is often more effective for advanced sagging or excess skin.
