In this blog post, we will be focusing on fractional radio frequency before and after care to produce the best results possible when it comes to skin tightening and rejuvenation.

What Is Fractional Radio Frequency?

In general, Fractional radio frequency is a method that uses needles to take RF into a person's skin and cause people's skin to tighten. This beauty treatment method makes your skin strong, and firm. it uses a combination of fractional radio frequency as well as skin stamping to create scars with the aim of encouraging your skin's repair process.

Fractional RF treatment is a great way to stimulate natural collagen production within your skin. RF takes advantage of low-level radio waves to create a thermal reaction in the dermis. This heat also metabolizes unhealthy cells and fibers and in turn stimulates the production of new healthy cells in the skin. Fractional radio frequency treatment has the ability to reduce pore size and acne scars, and cause overall skin rejuvenation.
