Beginner’s Guide to Corporal Radiofrequency
Radiofrequency treatments (also known as RF treatments) are non-invasive and non-surgical procedures. They safely and effectively boost elastin and collagen production in the body, and improve body tone.
RF treatments help fight the signs of aging, contour and tighten your skin, remove stubborn fat, and much more. These skin tightening benefits are achieved with no downtime or recovery time.
What is it and How Does it Work?
The RF treatment process involves using a specialized machine to send alternating currents into the top layer of your skin (known as the dermis). This heats the area and stimulates the production of collagen.
Collagen is a protein that firms the skin. As you age, your body naturally produces less collagen, which can lead to skin laxity or sagging.
Radiofrequency skin tightening also stimulates your body’s lymphatic system, which aids in the drainage of unwanted toxins. The result is firmer skin that is toned, slimmed, and improved in appearance. You’ll look more refreshed, radiant, and youthful following RF treatments.
The process can also break down fat cells, which helps reduce the appearance of cellulite and eliminate fat in hard-to-lose areas. If you are active and eat a healthy diet, but still unable to lose stubborn fat in certain areas, corporal radiofrequency treatments may be right for you.
The average RF treatment takes between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area being targeted and the specifics of your situation. Many people see results immediately following the treatment, but it can take several months to achieve the full effect. Depending on the situation and the person, several treatments over a few months may be recommended.
What Areas Can You Treat?
There are many different areas of the body where radiofrequency treatments can be effective. For instance, skin tightening stomach areas is possible with this treatment.
The result is firmer, stronger, and smoother skin while stubborn fat is eliminated. Overall, the area will appear more toned and tightened than before.
The stomach isn’t the only area of the body that can be treated. RF treatments are also beneficial in other parts of the body, including:
- Hips
- Thighs
- Arms
- Knees
- Buttocks
- Cheeks
- Forehead
- Neck
While diet and exercise can help you achieve overall weight loss, they cannot reduce stubborn areas of fat. If you’d like to target specific areas of your body, RF treatments could be the ideal solution for you.

Who is the Right Candidate for This Treatment?
In general, anyone who would like to firm and tone their skin is a suitable candidate for RF treatments. There is generally very little pain or discomfort during or after a session, no surgery or medication is necessary, and you do not require downtime following the process. The large majority of people can resume all regular activities immediately following the treatment.
The radiofrequency treatment process is suitable for all skin types and tones. People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have immunodeficiency disorders, are undergoing cancer treatments, have had recent surgery, or have other health issues or conditions should avoid this treatment.
