Main Information
<p>Careful discussions regarding your reasons for wanting treatment are very important before you begin the treatment. You must also make sure that this treatment can deliver what you want and how you would like to look afterwards. Your practitioner should be able to answer all these questions. </p> <p>A medical history should also be taken to make sure that there are no reasons why you shouldn’t undertake treatment. You may be asked to sign a consent form which means that you have understood the potential benefits and risks associated with the procedure.</p> <p>Photographs may also be taken by the practitioner for a "before and after" comparison at a later date.</p> <p><strong>Procedure </strong></p> <p>You may be required to wash your face with soap and warm water prior to your treatment, in order to remove any makeup and skin oils which could interfere with the application of the RF treatment. </p> <p>A topical anaesthetic cream may then be applied to your skin a short time prior to treatment, to help numb the skin slightly; this will normally be removed using alcohol cleansers immediately before your clinician commences the procedure. </p> <p>Depending on the device being used and your practitioner, a “treatment grid” ink transfer may then be applied over your face to assist the practitioner in navigating your face whilst delivering the RF energy; helping to assure an even application of the RF and to prevent inadvertent overlapping of treatment.</p> <p>Again, dependent of the device being used you may be fitted with a single-use, self-adhesive return pad attached to your stomach or back to ground you; normally with monopolar devices. </p> <p>A coupling gel may then also be applied over your face which acts as an additional barrier between the surface layers of your skin and the handpiece of the device.</p> <p>Your clinician will then commence the RF treatment working across your face. Once completed a soothing gel or lotion may be applied to your skin.</p> <p><strong>Repeat Procedures</strong> </p> <p>Immediately following the treatment, your skin will feel tighter, with more tightening improvements appearing gradually over the months after treatment.</p> <p>Results are said to last up to a couple of years, and a single initial treatment can be enough to produce results in some people (using the <a title="Thermage" href="https://www.consultingroom.com/Treatments/Thermage" target="_self">Thermage</a> device), depending on skin thickness; however your practitioner will be able to determine a course of treatments specific to you and your needs.</p>
