Radiofrequency
When your skin starts to lose its firmness or wrinkles begin to show, it can be hard to feel your best. But what if there was a way to tighten and refresh your skin without surgery?
Radiofrequency (RF) treatment offers a noninvasive solution for loose skin, wrinkles, and other age-related changes, all with minimal downtime. At Athena Dermatology Clinic in Dubai, we use cutting-edge RF technology to boost collagen production, helping you achieve smoother, younger skin.
What is Radiofrequency Treatment?
Radiofrequency treatment uses thermal energy to heat the deeper layers of your skin, causing controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing process. This stimulates the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—the building blocks of youthful, firm skin. The result? A tighter, lifted, and rejuvenated complexion. RF treatments are effective on both the face and body, providing benefits like skin tightening, fat reduction, and overall skin texture improvement.
Benefits of Radiofrequency Treatments
Tightens Loose Skin: RF increases collagen production to lift and firm areas like the face, jawline, neck, and body
Smooths Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen growth, reducing fine lines and creating a youthful appearance
Improves Skin Texture: Combined with microneedling, RF effectively reduces acne scars and stretch marks by boosting skin regeneration
Repairs Sun Damage: Restores sun-damaged skin by stimulating collagen to reduce UV effects
Contours Body: RF tightens skin and targets fat reduction on the abdomen, thighs, and arms, reshaping and firming the body
Contours Face: Reduces facial fat to create a slimmer, more defined appearance
Long-Term Collagen Boost: Prevents collagen decline with a “collagen banking” effect, supporting long-term skin tightening
Comfortable and Non-Invasive: Minimal discomfort with mild warmth and no cuts, resulting in a quick recovery.

After a radiofrequency treatment, it is recommended that you wait at least two to three weeks before undergoing other facial treatments like chemical peels, laser therapy, or additional RF sessions.

For less invasive therapies like gentle facials or hydrating masks, you may only need to wait a few days, depending on your skin’s sensitivity.
