Radiofrequency (RF) therapy, also called radiofrequency skin tightening, is a nonsurgical method of tightening your skin.

The procedure involves using energy waves to heat the deep layer of your skin known as your dermis. This heat stimulates the production of collagen.

Collagen is the most common protein in your body. It creates the framework of your skin and gives your skin its firmness. The primary benefits of RF therapy are tightening your skin and getting rid of wrinkles. RF treatment has the potential to be used as a nonsurgical method of slimming and contouring your face.
