What are the course outcomes

Radio frequency uses RF energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, helping to reduce and diminish fine lines and flaccid skin. Like other non-ablative treatments treatment times and duration are usually over 8 weeks to improve skin condition. This treatment is an alternative to those clients who do not want to go down the aesthetic or surgical route. There are various frequencies of RF found on the market which use monopolar, bipolar or unipolar. RF can be used for fat reduction, body contouring, lifting and tightening.
