At Southend Laser we provide Safyre RF treatment, which uses Radiofrequency (RF) therapy, also called radiofrequency skin tightening, which is a nonsurgical method of tightening your skin.
The Safyre treatment involves using RF energy waves to heat the deep layer of your skin known as your dermis. This heat stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is the most common protein in your body. It creates the framework of your skin and gives your skin its firmness.
As you age, your cells produce less collagen, which leads to sagging skin and wrinkles. Skin laxity occurs around age 35 to 40 when the quantity and quality of your collagen begins to decline. RF therapy has been used since 2001 to fight against sagging skin and signs of aging.
How does it work?
RF waves heat the deep layer of your skin to between 122 and 167°F (50–75°C). Studies have found that maintaining a temperature over 115°F (46°C) for over 3 minutes causes your body to release heat-shock proteins. These proteins stimulate your body to create new collagen fibers. The procedure normally takes less than an hour and should be nearly painless.
What are radiofrequency waves?
Radiofrequency waves are a form of radiation. Radiation is the release of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. It can be classified as low energy or high energy depending on the amount of energy released. X-rays and gamma rays are examples of high energy radiation while Radiofrequency waves are considered low energy.
Radio waves, WiFi, and microwaves are all forms of Radiofrequency waves. The form of radiation used in RF skin tightening releases about 1 billion times less energy than X-rays.
Safyre RF Applications
Safyre is a radio frequency machine designed for body contouring and facial rejuvenation. The purpose of radio frequency is to improve the quality of the skin and to stimulate collagenases by heating the adipose tissue, as well as the tissue at subcutaneous level through heat diffusion.
Body contouring
Safyre treatments help with the removal of cellulite and will improve body toning after just one session. The secret lies in the activation of the elastin fibres and collagen within the skin, which helps to regenerate damaged skin and reduce adipose tissue. This results in a smoother and firmer skin, and a visible reduction in adipose tissue, making Safyre a revolutionary non-invasive body contouring solution.
Facial & Body Skin Rejuvenation
Safyre RF / Radiofrequency treatments are also effective for tummy tightening, bum lifts, cellulite removal & face skin tightening. Safyre RF activates elastin fibres and collagen to regenerate damaged tissue. It also enhances lymphatic drainage and assists in fat metabolism, resulting in smoother, firmer skin.
