At Luna Moon Aesthetics as part of our Beauty Aesthetics Skincare range we our pleased to be able offer Radio Frequency Skin Tightening.

Radio frequency (RF) is used to tighten, firm and sculpt the skin, RF energy is directed into the skin via an optical gel which is applied before treatment. This heats the lower layers of your skin without having to pass directly through the surface skin so that skin is optimally protected.

 

The heat being delivered to the lower layers is absorbed by water molecules present in this area, it is ideal to use on the face following a course of our REWIND and Osmosis creams (see our shop) as this will increase the water contact in the skin. The water molecules then begin to vibrate from the energy delivered causing additional frictional heat.

​

The brain then interprets this heat as being a perceived threat/potential injury and the body responds to this by stimulating collagen with the further benefit of tightening elastin fibres, this allows RF to be used on areas of the body such as the bottom, stomach and breasts to sculpt, lift and firm.

 

The result of RF treatment is tighter, firmer, younger looking skin. The excitation of the water molecules leaves skin feeling fresh and youthful, the water molecules also allow for optimal oxidisation of the skin. Oxygen stimulation below the skin surface promotes skin health (assisting with acne and scarring) in addition to the lifting and tightening that the technology is most well known for.
