Radio Frequency
The gentle and effective method for skin tightening at InGold Aesthetics clinics in Switzerland.
What is Radio Frequency?
Radiofrequency is a non-invasive treatment for skin tightening and rejuvenation that uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin. This technology safely and effectively heats the tissue, thereby tightening the skin, reducing wrinkles, and improving skin texture. Radiofrequency offers a painless alternative to invasive procedures and is suitable for various skin types.

How does radio frequency work?
Radiofrequency devices use high-frequency electromagnetic waves to heat skin tissue in a precisely controlled manner. This heating leads to immediate collagen tightening and stimulates the production of new collagen. Over time, the increased collagen production results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. The treatment is performed using a special handpiece that is passed over the skin to deliver the radio waves evenly.
Applications of Radio Frequency
Radiofrequency is versatile and can be used on various areas of the face and body:
- Face: Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines, skin tightening, and improvement of skin texture.
- Eye Area: Tightening of the skin around the eyes and reduction of crow’s feet.
- Neck: Tightening of sagging skin and reduction of wrinkles.
- Décolleté: Improvement of skin texture and tightening of the skin.
- Body: Treatment of sagging skin on the arms, abdomen, and thighs.
Advantages of Radio Frequency
- Non-invasive: No incisions, no scars, and no downtime.
- Painless: The treatment is pleasant and relaxing, comparable to a warm facial massage.
- Immediate and long-term results: Initial improvements are visible immediately, and skin tightening continues over the next few months.

- Natural look: Provides a natural appearance through gentle treatment methods.
The Treatment
Radiofrequency treatment is performed on an outpatient basis and usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area treated.

Questions & Answers
How does radiofrequency differ from ultrasound treatments for skin tightening?
Radiofrequency uses electromagnetic waves that heat the skin tissue and stimulate collagen production, while ultrasound penetrates deeper into the tissue and reduces fat cells. Both methods offer skin tightening, but radiofrequency has a stronger effect on collagen stimulation and skin elasticity.
Can radiofrequency also be used against cellulite?
Yes, radiofrequency is an effective method for improving the appearance of cellulite. Heating the tissue promotes blood circulation and reduces fat cells, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.
Which age group benefits most from radiofrequency treatments?
Radiofrequency is ideal for people in their mid-30s and older who are beginning to notice signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and slight sagging. However, it can also be adapted for younger or older patients, depending on their skin’s needs.
