Skin Tightening Using RF Energy
As we age, the collagen and elastin in our skin decrease, causing skin sagging, volume loss, and loss of skin elasticity. Radio Frequency (RF) skin tightening has been an excellent treatment for these common skin aging problems on the face and body.
Dr. Chernoff selects systems that the most effective results for our patients and that are also safe. The two Radio Frequency system we use at our Indianapolis, IN office is called IntraGen and Exillis.
IntraGen is a non-invasive, monopolar radio frequency contouring device that safely and gently rejuvenates and tightens skin. IntraGen works by targeting collagen contraction and stimulating new collagen formation by applying Grid Fractional Radio Frequency energy. IntraGen treatment is safe for all skin types and skin tones.
IntraGen RF is one of several treatment options at our office to help increase collagen, strengthen elastin fibers, and tighten skin. Additionally, we offer several other treatment options that range from non-invasive to minimally invasive including Microneedle RF, DOT Fractionated CO2 Laser, FaceTite, and BodyTite.
During your consultation, we will evaluate your skin, listen to your goals, explain all options, and recommend a treatment plan. Treatment plans are created based on your budget and lifestyle.
Prior to any treatment or procedure, Dr. Chernoff or one of our trained and certified Health Care Providers determine if you are a candidate, review the risk and benefits, and provide all possible treatment alternatives.
FAQs
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED WITH SKIN TIGHTENING RF?
Our office uses Skin Tightening RF to improve skin elasticity anywhere on the face and body. We have found that smaller areas respond better to treatment because we can concentrate the energy in a specific area. For example, we have noticed improvement when we treat the face, under the chin, and hands.
Our patients have also experienced improvement in targeted areas of their abdomen, thighs, and knees. We may suggest combining Skin Tightening RF with other treatments such as Fractionated CO2 or Microneedle RF to provide additional improvement in skin tightening.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED?
A series of 3-6 treatment sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart is recommended.* The number of treatment sessions will vary according to your age and the condition of your skin.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME?
Most patients are able to return to their routine activities directly following treatment.*
HOW LONG WILL SKIN TIGHTENING RF RESULTS LAST?
The skin improving benefits can be discussed during your consultation. We encourage our patients to continually care for their skin. We find that when regular and optimal skin treatments are performed with Facials, Peels, and Laser therapy, our patients skin ages much more slowly than they have experienced in the past.*
HOW DOES INTERGEN COMPARE TO OTHER RADIOFREQUNCY (RF) TREAMENTS?
IntraGen is among the newest technologies that exist for RF skin tightening. The grid technology allows precise control and even disbursement of energy. This allows the IntraGen to be more effective than other RF technologies.
HOW MUCH IMPROVEMENT CAN I EXECT FROM SKIN TIGHTENING RF?
The best way we can give you an idea of the improvement you can expect is to see you in-person for a consultation. When we meet with you, we will give you feedback on what you can expect from the procedure. We will also discuss all options that exist to accomplish your skin improvement goals.
