Radiofrequency (RF) therapy
Radiofrequency (RF) therapy, also called radiofrequency skin tightening, is a nonsurgical method of tightening your skin
A treatment that tightens, tones and lifts achieving firm, youthful-looking skin – without the telltale frozen stares and ‘puffed up’ look associated with injectables and fillers.
We perform these treatments using a ceramic wand that emits radio frequency waves to stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin to prevent signs of skin ageing.
Radiofrequency skin tightening is ideal if you want to tighten and firm skin, on your face and body, and avoid surgical anti-ageing procedures. The radio frequency technology used for this treatment is highly effective for skin tightening and firming loose or sagging skin.
Some injectables paralyse your muscles to improve the appearance of wrinkles and to plump out the skin. With prolonged use, it is thought injectables can cause muscle ‘disuse dystrophy’, weakening the muscles and causing the very issues the treatment is supposed to rectify. However, with Radiofrequency skin tightening, clients can look forward to:
- Increased muscle tone
- A more defined jawline
- Diminished fine lines
This is all thanks to the tightening effect from a natural realignment of the tissues, as a result of collagen boosting under the surface of your skin.
For the best results, we recommend a course of 6 treatments.

There are 4 Simple Steps to the Radiofrequency Treatment
1. Consultation
We will determine your individual needs and devise a treatment plan to achieve the results that you require. We recommend an initial course of 6, either one a week for 6 weeks or twice a week for three followed by maintenance sessions every 4-6 weeks.
2. Cleanse
The treatment area is first cleansed and exfoliated . Treatment gel is then applied to clean skin on the area to be treated. This ensures the best contact between the skin and the wand during treatment and the smooth movement of the wand over the area.
3. Radiofrequency Treatment
A ceramic wand is placed onto the skin and moved continuously over the treatment area in circular motions warming the skin thoroughly and evenly. The heat is increased slowly during treatment to ensure the optimum results whilst maintaining your comfort at all times. The feeling is similar to a hot stone massage.
4. Cleanse & Moisturise
After treatment, the area is cleansed again to remove any conducting gel and a soothing moisturiser and SPF applied to the area. Drink plenty of water after treatment and always follow the aftercare provided by your therapist.

How Does Radiofrequency Work?
Radiofrequency uses the body’s own natural healing to turn back the clock on ageing with results being seen instantly!
Turn back the clock with the latest skin tightening treatment from SkinBase.
Collagen keeps skin plump and firm, but the body produces less each year causing skin to lose its elasticity as we age. The common signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles occur as a result of poor muscle tone.
Our latest treatment, Radiofrequency helps by stimulating the body’s own natural production of collagen and elastin to reverse the effects of skin ageing – and it’s seriously effective!
During treatment, a ceramic wand delivers waves of radio frequency energy to realign fibres within the skin. The deeper levels of the skin are heated, stimulating several natural responses in the body. Radiofrequency isn’t painful or invasive like a facelift or other medical procedures, in fact it feels similar to a hot stone massage.
Injectables provide similar results to a Radiofrequency but they paralyse the muscles in your face to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The Radiofrequency treatment is non-invasive and does not adversely affect the muscles in your face.
The results of a Radiofrequency treatment can be seen immediately – your skin is instantly tighter.
The Radiofrequency helps to restore the elasticity and tone of your skin to provide a firmer and youthful appearance. What’s more, you’ll continue to see improvements for up to three months after your treatments end. Furthermore, results last for up to two years!
Who is Radiofrequency For?
The great thing is it’s suitable for all skin types and colours. Radiofrequency will tighten, strengthen, contour and tone for a more youthful looking you.
Anyone with a need for skin tightening will benefit from this treatment. Skin usually begins to sag and lose collagen during our late 20’s and every year our body will produce about 1% less collagen. The treatment can be performed on any skin colour and skin type. Radiofrequency uses radio frequency technology to stimulate the production of new collagen and the realignment of elastin fibres deep within the skin, tightening and strengthening the skin and tissue.
With Radiofrequency it is no longer necessary to go under the knife to lift, refresh and tighten the skin. Zero downtime. Just amazing firm, plump and fresh skin.
What Does Radiofrequency Treat?
Radiofrequency is extremely effective for non-surgical skin tightening and firming loose or sagging skin.
Wave goodbye to fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, turkey neck and jowls. Radiofrequency can provide you with a tightening, firming and plumping effect without the need for invasive treatments.
No matter how much your skin has aged already, Radiofrequency is gentle enough to be used around the eyes and on the décolleté as well. So whatever signs of ageing you’re looking to tackle, this is the treatment you’ve been waiting for.
Radiofrequency is not just a facial treatment and can be used on the body too. Rejuvenating & tightening skin, lifting and sculpting and acting on cellulite.
