How Does a Radiofrequency Energy Treatment Work?

A facelift is a surgical cure for older, sagging skin; however, it's invasive and requires significant downtime after surgery. If you want to achieve similar results without surgery, radiofrequency energy treatments may be for you.

At his office in Boca Raton, Florida, Dr. Anthony N. Dardano offers several aesthetic treatments, including radiofrequency energy treatments. Dr. Dardano specializes in making every one of his patients look and feel more youthful.

What is a radiofrequency energy treatment?

Dr. Dardano uses radiofrequency energy treatments to give your skin a tighter appearance. He uses radiofrequency energy to heat the dermis layer of your skin.

This type of treatment is noninvasive, unlike other forms of aesthetic treatments. A radiofrequency energy treatment yields similar results to dermal fillers or a facelift without incisions or surgery.

You may be a candidate for radiofrequency energy treatment if you have wrinkles, sagging skin, or crepe-like skin on your face or body.

How does the treatment work?

If you're looking to tighten your skin, Dr. Dardano offers radiofrequency energy treatment in the form of the TempSure® Envi system. The TempSure system allows Dr. Dardano to tighten skin all over your body.

Before your treatment starts, Dr. Dardano applies gel to your skin that keeps it cool during the procedure. He then begins to move the TempSure Envi wand over the skin in the treatment area.

The wand emits radiofrequency energy into your skin and slowly heats the tissues in the treatment area. The heat from the wand promotes collagen production from your skin cells without burning you.

The system has a temperature gauge that keeps it cool enough so it doesn't overheat your skin. Dr. Dardano continues the treatment for about an hour until he's covered the entire area.

After he finishes the radiofrequency energy treatment, he wipes off the gel. The treatment area may be slightly red and swollen, which is entirely normal. You can go about the rest of your day.

Your skin cells continue to produce collagen and rebuild the tissues, reducing wrinkles and creating tighter, younger-looking skin.

What are the benefits of radiofrequency energy treatments?

There are many benefits related to radiofrequency energy treatments, including a more youthful appearance. Dr. Dardano can use the TempSure Envi system on just about any area of your body that you want to tighten up.

You can achieve a slimmer-looking face with radiofrequency energy treatments. Dr. Dardano uses the system to tighten up the skin on your face and neck, which allows you to look thinner and younger. Other benefits include:

Wrinkle reduction

As your skin builds collagen, you'll notice fewer wrinkles on your face and surrounding skin. It's just as effective as other treatments without the need for surgery.

A contoured appearance

Tighter-looking skin gives you a more contoured look, especially on your face. However, you can also achieve contours in other areas of your body.

Safe and effective

The most significant benefit of radiofrequency energy treatments is that they are safe and effective. Dr. Dardano provides this treatment when you're not ready for a facelift but still want noticeable results.

You can also recover faster from a radiofrequency energy treatment than from a facelift or other cosmetic procedure. Because it's noninvasive, you require almost zero downtime after your procedure.
