A radio frequency facial is a non-invasive treatment that uses heat energy to create a controlled injury to your skin, which, in turn, promotes collagen and elastin production — the two key proteins responsible for skin firmness, tightness, and smoothness. As with any injury, whether it’s a big cut or a tiny scratch, your body works overtime to heal the wound, churning out fresher, newer, tighter skin.
