Facial rejuvenation and skin-tightening using monopolar radiofrequency

Abstract

This article will discuss how the use of monopolar radiofrequency for skin tightening is increasing due to the popular demand of non-surgical treatments with minimum downtime. It will show how to carry out the correct consultation and assessment and what considerations to take into account, as well as explaining how intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to ageing and the different types of radiofrequency available on the market. The use of radiofrequency in conjunction with other anti-ageing collagen-stimulating treatments to support and optimise final treatment results will also be detailed. The focus will be on the technology and treatment used with the BTL Exilis Ultra 360™ device and how it compares to other skin-tightening treatments.
