Radio Frequency

 
When we age, our skin ages too. As early as our twenties, we begin to lose 1% of collagen each year. Yikes! Once this happens, our bodies do not produce anymore collagen. Scary thought, huh? It is not only the loss of collagen that contributes to loose, sagging skin, but it is also a loss of fat, muscle mass, and bone mass. As we begin to age, fat starts to break down in our skin which contributes to a loss in volume, and when this happens our skin begins to sag and loses its firmness. Once we start to lose the volume in our skin, our skin droops or sags. Collagen is an important protein in our body that is responsible for providing support and strength. It holds skin together, and as we age, we begin to lose collagen because it is breaking down.
By our mid to late thirties and early forties, we begin to experience a loss of elasticity. Elasticity is what gives your skin that “bounce back” and allows your skin to return to its original shape. Once we lose elasticity, we begin to notice fine lines and wrinkling since our skin can no longer bounce back to its original shape it always had.
The areas that become most noticeable are around the eyes, we start to develop crows feet or bags under the eyes, our foreheads develop fine lines, and we also begin to develop fine lines or laugh lines around the mouth. Furthermore, the skin on our jawline begins to droop as well as the skin on our cheeks, and we may even notice wrinkling. Even though the loss of collagen starts in our twenties, we usually do not see signs of aging until our thirties.
Radio frequency, with Pelleve, is a non-surgical skin tightening procedure that heats the skin gradually. This heat gets penetrated down to the dermis. Once the dermis gets heated, collagen gets targeted resulting in skin tightening. Radiofrequency stimulates the collagen deep within the tissue so that new collagen production will take place over time. It smooths out the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It tightens skin that is otherwise loose and sagging. The overall end result is firmer, tighter skin. It is recommended that you receive at least three sessions in order to take advantage of the full results. It takes about 90 days before you notice the complete benefits of this treatment, and with each passing day, you skin continues to improve. It is not until the end of 90 days after each session that you will notice the full benefits of Pelleve.
