What is Skin Rejuvenation with Fractional Radiofrequency?
Skin rejuvenation with fractional radiofrequency is one of the modern dermatological and aesthetic treatment methods. This technology provides rejuvenating and regenerating effects on the skin by applying heat energy to the lower layers of the skin in a controlled manner. Fractional radiofrequency stimulates the skin's natural healing process by creating micro-level heat damage to the skin and supports the production of new collagen and elastin in this process.
During the treatment, radiofrequency energy is sent to the surface of the skin with micro needles through a special device. The targeted heat effect of this energy creates controlled microwounds deep within the skin. These micro wounds initiate a natural healing process for the skin to repair and renew itself. As a result, the skin looks firmer, smoother and younger.
Skin rejuvenation with fractional radiofrequency can target many skin problems such as fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, large pores and inequalities in skin tone. It can also reduce the appearance of skin blemishes such as acne scars and sun spots.This treatment is usually performed with minimal discomfort and the recovery process is short. A slight redness and swelling may occur on the skin after the treatment, but these effects disappear within a few days.
Why is skin renewed?
Skin renewal allows the skin to regain the freshness and health it has lost over time due to the natural aging process, environmental effects and genetic factors. As we age, the skin's natural regenerative capacity decreases. This condition causes the skin to lose its elasticity and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, as collagen and elastin production slows down. Additionally, the renewal process of skin cells slows down, causing the skin to look pale and lifeless.
Environmental factors also increase the skin's need for renewal. Factors such as sunlight, air pollution, smoking and stress can cause premature aging and damage to the skin. UV rays increase the production of free radicals, causing the skin to lose elasticity and pigmentation problems. Pollution and toxins disrupt the health of the skin, which negatively affects the skin's renewal process.
Damages and blemishes on the skin may also require renewal. Problems such as acne, scars and sunspots can create irregularities on the skin's surface and prevent the skin from looking younger. Skin resurfacing procedures help correct such damage and restore the skin's natural appearance.
Skin renewal treatments enable the skin to cope with these negative effects and gain a more youthful appearance. These procedures increase the skin's regenerative capacity, delaying the signs of aging and improving its overall health.
How is Skin Rejuvenation Done with Fractional Radiofrequency?
Fractional radiofrequency application usually consists of several stages. First, local anesthetic cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure comfort during the procedure. Then, with the help of a special device, radiofrequency energy is delivered to the surface of the skin with micro-needles. These micro-needles open small channels in the skin, allowing radiofrequency energy to reach the deep layers. Radiofrequency energy creates heating in the lower layers of the skin, which leads to the restructuring of collagen and elastin fibers.
During the treatment, there may be a slight warming and prickling sensation on the skin. Procedure time usually ranges from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area and the level of energy applied. A slight redness and swelling may occur on the skin after treatment, but these effects usually disappear within a few days. Fractional radiofrequency usually requires a treatment program of 3 to 6 sessions, and a 4 to 6 week break between sessions is usually recommended.
Fractional Radiofrequency What are its benefits on the skin?
Skin rejuvenation with fractional radiofrequency provides many important benefits on the skin. One of the most obvious advantages of the procedure is that it restores the skin's natural youth and health. This treatment method increases collagen and elastin production thanks to radiofrequency energy applied to the lower layers of the skin. As a result, the elasticity and firmness of the skin increases, and fine lines and wrinkles are reduced.
Another important benefit is that it improves the overall appearance of the skin. Fractional radiofrequency helps shrink skin pores and alleviate blemishes and pigmentation problems. It also helps to smooth the skin texture, contributing to a more even and even skin tone.
While it supports the skin's renewal process, it also cleans dead cells and damaged tissues on the skin's surface. This makes the skin look younger, fresher and more vibrant. In addition, it offers an effective solution against sagging and loosening problems in the skin, because the process reduces the appearance of sagging by increasing the firmness of the skin.
Who is Fractional Radiofrequency Suitable for?
Fractional radiofrequency is a suitable treatment option for individuals who experience various skin problems and aim for skin rejuvenation. In general, fractional radiofrequency is recommended for people with the following conditions:
First of all, it is an ideal method for those who want to reduce the signs of aging. People who want to alleviate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles can benefit from the skin tightening and rejuvenation effects offered by fractional radiofrequency. It also offers an effective solution for those who want to eliminate loss of elasticity and sagging problems in the skin.
Individuals who complain about enlarged pores and irregularities on the skin can shrink the roughness and pores on the skin surface with this treatment method. In addition, people with skin blemishes and pigmentation problems can benefit from the equal tone and smoothness advantages of fractional radiofrequency.
However, conditions such as pregnancy, active infections, certain skin diseases, or certain health conditions may affect the applicability of fractional radiofrequency. Therefore, it is important that you complete a detailed evaluation with us before starting treatment.
How Should Skin Care Be Done After Skin Renewal?
Skin care after skin rejuvenation procedures is very important to increase the effectiveness of the treatment and accelerate the healing process. Here are the points to consider in skin care after skin renewal:
First of all, it is necessary to take care of cleaning the skin after the procedure. Using mild, perfume-free and non-irritating cleansers keeps the skin surface smooth and clean. Washing with warm water instead of hot water helps the skin experience less irritation.
To maintain the skin's moisture balance, using a moisturizer after the procedure is a critical step. Moisturizers support the skin's healing process and prevent problems such as dryness and flaking. Hypoallergenic moisturizers that are suitable for skin sensitivity should be preferred.
Sun protection is extremely important in the skin renewal process. Sun rays may cause the skin to become more sensitive after treatment. Therefore, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen protects the skin from UV rays and reduces the risk of pigmentation. Sunscreen cream should be applied regularly every day after the procedure.
After skin renewal, extremely hot and cold environments, excessive exercise and intense skin care products should be avoided. To support the skin's healing process, it will be beneficial to stay away from such activities for a while.
In Which Regions Can Fractional Radiofrequency Be Applied?
Fractional radiofrequency can be effectively applied in various areas for skin rejuvenation and tightening purposes. This method, which is generally preferred in areas such as the face, neck, décolleté and hands, is a very effective option for rejuvenating and tightening the skin.
In the facial area, fractional radiofrequency can be applied to improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and general skin texture. The most common application areas on the face include the forehead, eye area, cheeks and jawline. This process increases the elasticity of the skin and provides a younger and smoother appearance.
Fractional radiofrequency is used in the neck and décolleté areas to reduce signs of aging, tighten the skin, and target fine lines and wrinkles in these areas. In these areas, it is possible to achieve a younger appearance by improving skin texture.
Although hands are an area that is often overlooked in skin care, the results obtained with fractional radiofrequency can be impressive here too. Stains on the hands, fine lines and loss of skin elasticity can be improved with this method. Fractional radiofrequency can also be used on body areas such as the abdomen, thighs and legs. It provides effective results especially in the treatment of skin sagging and cellulite.
