Radio frequency microneedling treatment of the whole face and neck using Focus Dual™ takes 45 minutes, however, appointments are approximately 1 hour to ensure adequate time for consent, photography etc. The mode that will best suit the area you wish to target will be advised by Rebecca during your consultation.
We also offer a Non-Surgical Face Lift Package where you will receive 5 treatments across 3 appointments. Your 3 appointments will occur once every 6 weeks and will consist of:
Appointment 1 is a full-face HIFU plus radio frequency skin tightening and lifting.
Appointment 2 uses Focus Dual™ to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve overall skin texture.
Appointment 3 similar to your first appointment, will be a full-face Focus Dual™ HIFU plus radio frequency.
After the radio frequency treatment, there is typically a 24-72 hour downtime. Initially, you will be very red with slight swelling after the treatment although this tends to subside relatively quickly. Dryness can occur for approximately 5 days after the treatment.
An improvement can be seen 2 – 3 weeks after the first the first treatment. However, a minimum of 2 and up to 6 treatments, at 4 week intervals, deliver the best results, depending on the skin concern. Results are natural and get better over time, peaking at 12 weeks following the final treatment.
Ultra-fine needles penetrate the skin to different depths whilst simultaneously releasing radio frequency (RF) energy to heat the skin in a controlled manner. This stimulates a wound healing response which leads to the production of new collagen and elastin. This process may feel prickly, but it’s not painful.
All risks will be discussed at your consultation in Newmarket, whilst going through your consent form.
You practitioner will advise you as to how you can best look after your skin following treatment, but you will be guided to avoid the sun, keep yourself hydrated, avoid hot showers, and try and avoid scratching your treated skin.
