The question of how skin rejuvenates with the radiofrequency method is one that many people who care about skin health and beauty are curious about. The radiofrequency method, used for reducing fine lines and wrinkles, eliminating acne scars, and firming the skin, is among the most popular applications in the field of medical aesthetics. **Dr. Lida Çiteli**, a leading name in medical aesthetics, explains what you need to know about Radiofrequency Skin Rejuvenation Treatment.
Radiofrequency Method and Its Areas of Effect
Radio waves have an effect that can activate water molecules and ions in our body. The selective heating effect of radiofrequency technology works by sending controlled heat to the fat layer located in the deeper layers of the skin. While doing this, it does not harm blood vessels, the skin surface, or nerves. It only affects the deeper layers of the skin where collagen production occurs and the fat tissues. With radiofrequency application, cell metabolism accelerates, and blood circulation in the area increases. Fat cells are broken down. This application, performed painlessly, provides a significant tightening in tissues and reduces fat mass.

Who is Radiofrequency Treatment Not Suitable For?
- Pregnant women
- Individuals using pacemakers
- Those with cancer
- Those using metal prostheses
- Individuals with MS and Parkinson's disease are not suitable for Radiofrequency treatment.
How is Radiofrequency Applied?
When the head of the radiofrequency device makes contact with the skin, numerous gold-tipped micro-needles create fractional micro-holes on the skin surface. Collagen and elastin production in the skin is stimulated by radiofrequency waves transmitted from the needle tip, without touching the skin's surface. The aim here is to directly affect the deeper layers of the skin and fat tissues without causing any damage to the surface layer of the skin.
What Are the Risk Factors of Radiofrequency Treatment?
Radiofrequency skin rejuvenation treatment is preferred by people of all ages because it leaves no spots or scars on the skin.
It acts only on the fat tissues in the lower layers without harming the skin's surface. There are no risk factors other than temporary and minor redness. It does not cause infection in any part of the skin.
