Frax Skin Tightening
Frax distributes radio frequency energy through numerous non-invasive metal nanoelectrodes, creating an internal heating of all skin layers. This deeply controlled heat stimulates the production of skin collagen and elastin in the epidermal and dermal layers of the skin. There is no pain or discomfort, but rather deep, intense warmth. No down period needed. Fractional RF is successfully used to treat photo- and chrono-aging of the skin. These processes are characterized by a decrease in skin elasticity and, as a consequence, thinning of the epidermal and dermal layers. Such skin changes lead to fine lines, wrinkles, loss of tone and smooth skin texture. The main advantage of non-invasive fractional radio frequency (RF) is that this technology provides deep skin rejuvenation without affecting the entire surface, as multiple smooth radio frequency pins cause thermal stress to the dermis in microscopic target areas. Undamaged surrounding tissue helps to increase the process of skin regeneration.
How does it work?
Under the influence of deep radio frequency energy, the dermis is heated to a temperature of 42-45 C, forcing the collagen fibres to contract. When compressed, the fibres stretch the skin, creating an instant effect. Fibroblast metabolism is also accelerated, producing new collagen tissue which helps to increase the process of skin regeneration.
Effects on the skin:
● age-related changes in the skin (gravitational ptosis, increased age wrinkles and folds, sagging, loose skin);
● photoaging (early formation of reticular and facial wrinkles, creases, thinning and dehydration of the skin;
● improving facial contours; ● reduces double chin volume;
● removal of wrinkles on the neck;
● correction of small scars, scars, postacne;
● excessive skin porosity;
● drooping eyelid skin, swelling of the lower eyelid. Effects on body skin:
● abdomen skin tightening after weight loss or pregnancy;
● tightens the inner surface of the arms and thighs;
● skin tightening over the joints (elbows, knees); ● reduction of stretch marks.
