Frequently asked questions
When can changes be observed?
Changes develop gradually with collagen remodelling. The manufacturer describes an observation period of approximately 2–6 months after treatment. Progress and duration vary with skin condition, age and lifestyle.
How long does a session take?
The manufacturer lists approximately 30–60 minutes, depending on the area and coverage. Allow additional time for consultation, preparation and aftercare instructions.
Is there a fixed number of pulses?
Pulse count is planned around coverage, tip selection and priority areas. The physician will explain the total and its distribution during consultation.
Is treatment painful?
Brief heat sensations can occur. Cooling and vibration help with comfort, but sensitivity varies. Anaesthesia and other comfort options can be discussed beforehand.
Is recovery time needed?
Most people can return to daily activities after treatment. Temporary redness, swelling or warmth may occur. Follow the clinic’s moisturising, sun-protection and observation instructions.
Can it be planned with ultrasound lifting?
If both skin firmness and tissue lifting are priorities, radiofrequency and ultrasound may be considered together. The physician will assess the areas to address and plan sequencing and intervals.
