Skin Tightening Treatment

TempSure Radiofrequency for Skin-Tightening.

How does a Skin Tightening Treatment work?

Radiofrequency skin tightening gently warms your skin’s surface and deeper layers to precise temperatures, promoting collagen production and cell turnover to tighten and tone. It treats post-natal skin, cellulite, signs of aging, or sagging facial tissue. This quick and comfortable RF skin tightening procedure is skillfully administered using a handheld precision energy delivery instrument. This allows targeting of smaller, contoured areas such as the face, neck and jawline, undereye bags, buttocks, and more.

With a soothing massage emitting skin-triggering radiofrequencies, it minimizes wrinkles, tightens skin, diminishes cellulite, and brightens dark undereye circles.

As we age, collagen production naturally slows down, causing bothersome creases like smile lines and crow’s feet, and cellulite. TempSure® Envi radiofrequency is safe for all skin types, fitting seamlessly into your beauty maintenance routine, anytime, anywhere, taking your skin transformation to the next level.

This no-downtime and non-invasive treatment allows you to immediately return to your daily activities, looking and feeling amazing.

Radiofrequency is also used to tighten and tone parts of the body such as the flanks, stomach, hips, underarms, knees, hips and more using a flexible RF pad technology: FlexSure. Experience the power of advanced no-downtime radiofrequency technology for skin rejuvenation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does RF Skin Tightening Work?

TempSure Envi harnesses the power of radiofrequency to stimulate collagen production and achieve skin tightening through a process known as soft tissue coagulation.

Situated below the epidermis, the dermis acts as a production center for two vital proteins: collagen and elastin. These proteins are key to maintaining the skin’s strength, elasticity, and structure. Our laser and RF treatments are designed to target this dermis layer and stimulate more production of these proteins.

RF TempSure is specifically designed to address fine lines, undereye bags, and cellulite, utilizing targeted heat to activate your body’s natural collagen-generating ability. The newly formed collagen fibres are tight, dense, and have a rejuvenated structure at the cellular level, leading to a more youthful, smooth, and toned complexion.

In the case of cellulite, the treatment stimulates lymphatic flushing, breaks down natural debris such as dead fat cells, and triggers the body’s natural healing responses. This process also triggers the production of new collagen. As a result, the overall volume in the targeted area diminishes, leading to a more toned, smooth and sculpted appearance.

TempSure Envi RF provides a comprehensive solution for addressing cellulite and skin tightening concerns, bringing about noticeable improvements in your skin’s texture, contour, and appearance.

Is RF Skin Tightening right for me?

TempSure Envi is suitable for virtually everyone! This treatment is incredibly safe and can be performed on all skin types.

What sets TempSure Envi apart from other technologies is its versatility throughout the year. You can receive treatments at any time, regardless of the season. Before your treatment, we offer a complimentary pre-treatment consultation where our skilled laser technician will carefully evaluate your skin, review your medical history, and discuss your lifestyle. This thorough assessment ensures that there are no contraindications for receiving a radiofrequency treatment in your desired area.

During this consultation, your laser technician will also provide guidance on the recommended number of starting treatments, discuss the anticipated outcomes, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific skin type and goals. Your journey to beautiful skin starts with a customized approach.

How long does a skin tightening treatment take?

The complete skin tightening treatment of the entire face typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes. For neck and jawline or cellulite treatments, the procedure itself typically takes approximately 60 minutes.

However, if you wish to focus on a specific area such as the delicate eye area, forehead, or smile lines, the procedure can be completed in as little as 30 minutes, catering to your specific needs.

It is important to note that the triggered collagen-rebuilding process only begins during the treatment session, spanning days, weeks, and even months. To achieve optimal results, a series of treatments is recommended (one every 10-30 days), allowing for the cumulative benefits of collagen production and skin tightening over time. Your laser technician can assist you in taking well-lit pictures before each new session for you to track your progress!

As part of your complimentary pre-treatment consultation, your experienced laser technician will offer valuable insights regarding the recommended initial number of treatments, elaborate on the expected outcomes, and develop a personalized treatment plan that caters to your unique skin, body, and goals. We believe that your path to achieving beautiful skin begins with an individualized approach, ensuring that you receive the most effective and tailored care possible.

What can I expect during my RF skin tightening treatment appointment?

TempSure Envi offers a comfortable and safe procedure that is completely painless, ensuring a pleasant experience for patients without any downtime. Many guests have likened the sensation to that of a soothing hot stone massage.

Here’s what you can expect during your TempSure Envi treatment:

Begin your TempSure RF journey by engaging in a comprehensive consultation with one of our skilled laser technicians. During this important step, your skin expert will diligently evaluate your individual requirements, engage in an open discussion about your goals, and attentively address any inquiries you may have regarding the treatment. Together, we will craft a tailored treatment plan that caters to your distinct skin, body, and lifestyle, ensuring that your expectations align with the anticipated outcomes.
Lie down and settle into a position of relaxation as you prepare for the procedure. A nourishing gel will be gently applied to the treatment area, facilitating smooth movement of the TempSure handpiece across your skin.
Your experienced laser technician will begin the treatment by skillfully maneuvering the handpiece in circular or grid-like patterns over the targeted area. As you unwind, you may gradually feel a gentle warmth permeating the deeper layers of your skin. Treatment times typically range from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated.

Following the procedure, you may notice slight redness, which is a natural response to the warmth and subcutaneous tissue heating. This pink or redness will diminish shortly after the session. The best part? You can resume your normal daily activities immediately after the treatment, without any interruption or downtime.

The process of collagen rebuilding, ignited by the treatment, begins during the session itself and extends its transformative impact over the following days, weeks, and even months as your stimulated cells undergo rejuvenation. To optimize the desired results, your laser technician will recommend a series of treatments, ideally spaced every 10-30 days. This strategic approach ensures that you harness the cumulative benefits of continuous collagen production and gradual skin tightening, unveiling the most noticeable and lasting outcomes for your skin.

Prepare yourself for a rejuvenating and blissful experience with TempSure Envi, where you can achieve remarkable results while maintaining your usual routine with ease.

Is TempSure Envi a painful treatment?

No, TempSure Envi is a comfortable and relaxing treatment. Our guests report no pain during the procedure. The system is designed to deliver precise and controlled radiofrequency energy to the targeted areas of the skin, resulting in a gentle and gradual heating sensation.

During the treatment, you may experience a warming sensation as the RF energy is delivered to the deeper layers of your skin. The temperature is carefully monitored and regulated to ensure both safety and effectiveness.

How many skin tightening treatment sessions are typically required to see results?

Our recommendation typically involves starting with a series of 3-5 treatments.

Your laser technician will carefully customize a plan tailored to your specific needs and advise scheduling these treatments ideally every 10-30 days. This strategic approach allows you to maximize the cumulative advantages of continuous collagen production during each triggered skin cycle and progressive skin tightening, ultimately unveiling the most remarkable and enduring outcomes for your skin.

What is a Skin Cycle?

A monthly skin cycle is the natural process of skin cell turnover and renewal. Our skin constantly undergoes a cycle of cell growth, collagen production, maturation, and shedding. Radiofrequency treatments trigger a new skin cycle with increased collagen production and promote lymphatic debris flushing to eliminate dead fat cells. After each RF-triggered skin cycle, your skin shows increasing improvements such as density, tone, firmness, and smoothness. Results become increasingly noticeable after each treatment in a planned span of time.

Thanks to your body’s natural skin cycles, you can keep improving your results. Multiple energy-based skin care treatments, (in this case, TempSure radiofrequency), are needed to achieve excellent outcomes. Since the skin cycle takes time, a single treatment is not sufficient to produce significant and long-lasting results.

By undergoing a series of treatments spaced apart over a period of time, we can harness the cumulative effects of these energy-based treatments, allowing for continuous improvement in skin texture, tone, and tightness. This approach ensures that the skin is consistently stimulated and rejuvenated throughout its natural cycle, leading to more noticeable and transformative outcomes over time.

This transformative effect commences during each treatment and continues to unfold in the days, weeks, and months that follow as your stimulated cells undergo rejuvenation. Based on your desired outcomes, your laser technician will meticulously tailor a customized treatment plan that aligns with your specific needs.

What is Radiofrequency (RF)?

Radiofrequency (RF) energy is a type of electromagnetic energy emitted from a machine at a specific frequency, known as radiofrequency. Here’s how it works with the skin: Our skin contains water molecules, and when RF energy is applied, it causes these molecules in the dermis (the skin’s middle layer) to move rapidly. This movement creates friction, which in turn generates heat.

Why do we use RF to heat the dermis specifically?

Consider this: if you visit a sauna or apply a hot pack to your skin, you are primarily warming the outer layer. However, RF energy targets deeper, focusing on the dermis without excessively heating the surface. This precise heating stimulates the dermis, where collagen and elastin – the skin’s key structural proteins – are produced.

So, what does this mean for skin rejuvenation?

The heat generated by RF energy encourages the skin’s cells to ramp up collagen and elastin production. Picture that trampoline’s worn fabric mat starting to weave fresh fabric again. This new collagen, developing over time, helps to tighten and refine the skin’s texture, akin to renewing the trampoline’s strength and firmness, while the elastin helps it retain some stretchiness.

This treatment also stimulates lymphatic flushing, breaks down natural debris such as dead fat cells, and triggers the body’s natural healing responses. As a result, the overall volume in an area targeted for cellulite/contouring diminishes, leading to a more toned, smooth and sculpted appearance.

How does RF rejuvenate my face and neck skin?

RF technology is effective in firming up loose skin both on the face and neck. While it may not be the only solution for more advanced cases of aging, RF is excellent for mitigating initial signs of aging or accompanying laser treatments for more complete rejuvenation. Regular RF treatments can serve as a preventative measure, helping to delay the development of loosening skin around the neck.

Additionally, the tightening effect of RF diminishes fine lines, leading to a smoother skin texture. However, for clients with deep wrinkles, more intensive dermis stimulation through laser treatments might be necessary. RF is most effective for early signs of aging or to accompany treatments for more advanced signs of aging.

As an additional effect, RF treatment enhances blood circulation, contributing to a healthier, more glowing, and dewy skin appearance. This overall improvement in skin health and appearance is another key benefit of incorporating RF into your skincare regimen.

Can TempSure RF improve the appearance of sagging skin?

Yes, TempSure Envi RF helps improve the appearance of sagging skin.

It is a popular choice for tightening the skin on the face, jawline, neck, and undereye bags in addition to treating body cellulite.

The radiofrequency technology utilized in TempSure Envi treatments stimulates collagen production and promotes skin tightening, which results in firmer and more youthful-looking skin. However, the degree of improvement may vary depending on individual factors such as the severity of sagging and overall skin condition. We invite you to consult with our expert laser technicians, who can assess your specific situation and determine if TempSure Envi is the appropriate treatment for your sagging skin concerns.

For treating lax skin in other body areas, our FlexSure radiofrequency treatment utilizes flexible pads to deliver RF energy in hard-to-reach areas such as the:

Underarms
Thighs
Abdomen
Flanks
Knees

Can TempSure RF be combined with other cosmetic procedures?

Yes, TempSure RF can be combined with other cosmetic procedures such as Botox injections, fillers, photofacials, or laser skin resurfacing to address additional skin goals with the recommendation of your Total Wrapture skin care provider.

We do not offer invasive procedures such as Botox. However, if you do receive injectable treatments, we recommend that you receive your energy-based skin-renewing treatments (such as TempSure RF or laser) before your next injectables appointment. If you have recently received an injectable treatment, we recommend that you wait 4 weeks before your energy-based treatment.

Combining TempSure RF with other treatments can offer comprehensive and synergistic results, as each treatment targets different aspects of skin rejuvenation.

While injectables can address specific wrinkles caused by muscle contractions, TempSure RF improves overall skin tightness and texture. Photofacials and laser skin resurfacing such as PicoSure laser or fractional laser complement the effects of TempSure RF by targetting specific skin concerns such as:

Hyperpigmentation
Signs of aging
Age spots and sun spots
Deeper face, neck, hands, and decollete wrinkles
Uneven skin tone
Acne scars
Melasma
Chickenpox scars
Surgery or C-Section scars

How does RF Skin Tightening rejuvenate tired-looking eyes?

Let’s address the challenges of aging around the eyes first:

The skin under the eyes is thinner and more delicate than elsewhere on the face, often showing aging signs more quickly. Poor blood circulation in this area can lead to pooling, similar to a bruise, causing dark circles. In addition, the loss of elastin and collagen results in sagging skin and under-eye bags, sometimes exacerbated by fluid retention. The thinness of the skin here also makes issues like darkness, sagging, and crow’s feet more visible.

Now, for the benefits of RF treatment:

Enhanced Collagen and Elastin Production: RF technology improves the under-eye area by boosting collagen and elastin production. This enhanced support smoothens the skin, assists in lymphatic drainage, and reduces the appearance of bags.
Improved Blood Circulation: The heat generated by RF treatment in the dermis boosts blood circulation, lessening dark circles. This improved circulation encourages lymphatic drainage, helping to alleviate blood pooling and discoloration.
Skin Tightening: RF treatment tightens the skin, smoothing out fine lines and reducing the visibility of crow’s feet – a common concern for many clients. This is why our “RF Eye Treatment” is specifically referred to as “Crow’s Feet RF Skin Tightening” on our website.
Eyelid Tightening: Aging often leads to drooping eyelids, a result of decreased collagen and elastin. RF technology tackles this by tightening existing collagen fibers in the eyelids and promoting the production of new collagen and elastin. This results in tighter, more elastic skin that better retains its shape after movement.

How does RF treat cellulite?

TempSure Radiofrequency (RF) treatments, work to treat cellulite by using targeted energy to heat the underlying tissues and stimulate collagen production.

RF energy penetrates the skin and heats the subcutaneous tissue. This causes the fat cells to heat up and become damaged, which triggers the body’s natural healing response and stimulates the production of new collagen.

New collagen formation tightens and firms the skin, diminishing cellulite visibility and giving the treated area a toned and sculpted look.

What is cellulite?

Cellulite is a common condition that affects many people. It is caused by the accumulation of fat cells and the buildup of fluids and toxins in the subcutaneous tissue (the layer of fat beneath the skin).

This results in a dimpled appearance on the skin’s surface.

What is cellulite caused by?

As we age, our skin loses its elasticity, and the connective tissues that hold the fat cells in place begin to weaken, allowing the fat cells to bulge out and create the characteristic dimpled appearance of cellulite.

There are several factors that contribute to the development of cellulite, including genetics, hormonal changes, exercise frequency, nutritional habits, and aging.

What is the result of treating cellulite with TempSure RF?

The new collagen production helps to tighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of cellulite. Additionally, the breakdown of fat cells helps to reduce the overall volume of fat in the targeted area, resulting in a more toned and sculpted appearance.

TempSure RF treatments are painless and require no downtime, making them a popular option for improving the appearance of cellulite without invasive procedures.

How long do the results of TempSure radiofrequency skin tightening last?

Typically, the effects of a series of TempSure RF treatments can last for several months to a year or more.

However, to maintain optimal results, periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended. Your laser technician will provide guidance on the recommended frequency of maintenance sessions based on your specific situation and desired outcomes.

How does duration vary?

The duration of results from TempSure radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening can vary depending on several factors, including individual characteristics, lifestyle, and ongoing skin care. While TempSure RF treatments can provide noticeable and immediate improvements in skin tightness and texture, it’s important to note that the natural aging process continues over time.

What can I do to prolong results?

Maintaining healthy skin through a consistent skincare routine, protecting your skin from sun damage, and adopting a healthy lifestyle can also contribute to prolonging the results of TempSure RF skin tightening treatments.

To have a better understanding of the expected longevity of results and to receive personalized advice, we invite you to consult with our highly qualified laser technicians who will assess your unique situation and provide tailored recommendations. Skin care education is their passion. Rather than selling you on treatments, they want to empower you with knowledge about your unique skin to make informed decisions that fit best in your life.

What areas of the face and body can I treat with TempSure radiofrequency skin tightening?

TempSure radiofrequency skin tightening is highly versatile and can be utilized to treat various areas of the face and body. The treatment is effective for addressing multiple concerns and achieving desired results.

Common areas that can be treated include the:

Full Face
Neck and jawline
Undereye bags and dark circles
Forehead and smile lines
Cellulite in the area of the buttocks

Our skilled laser technicians will assess your unique needs and discuss the specific areas you would like to address during your complimentary pre-treatment consultation. They will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your individual goals, ensuring that you achieve the desired results in the areas that matter most to you.

If you would like to treat other areas of the body, our FlexSure radiofrequency treatment utilizes flexible pads to deliver RF energy in hard-to-reach areas such as the:

Underarms
Thighs
Abdomen
Flanks
Knees

What does a skin tightening treatment feel like?

TempSure Envi radiofrequency is known for its comfortable and painless experience, often described as similar to a warm massage. As the handheld device gently glides over your skin, you may feel a pleasant and soothing warmth. Many patients find the sensation relaxing, comparable to the feeling of a hot stone massage. The treatment is designed to be comfortable, allowing you to unwind and enjoy the process while targeting your specific concerns.

During the session, you can communicate with your skilled technician who will ensure your comfort and address any questions or concerns you may have. The duration of the treatment will vary depending on the size and number of areas being treated.

After the session, some patients may experience mild redness in the treated area due to the elevated skin temperature during the procedure. However, this redness is temporary and typically subsides shortly after the treatment. You can immediately resume your normal activities without any downtime or restrictions.

What are Collagen and Elastin?

Collagen: Think of your skin as a trampoline. The trampoline’s fabric mat, which provides strength and firmness, is akin to collagen in the skin. Over time, just like the fabric mat that can wear out and become less robust, our skin produces less collagen. This reduction in collagen leads to increased visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.

Elastin, in comparison, is similar to the springs connecting the fabric to the trampoline’s frame. These springs give the trampoline its flexibility, allowing it to stretch and return to its original shape after being used. In our skin, elastin functions similarly – it helps the skin stay flexible and return to its original shape after movements like smiling or frowning. As we age, our skin’s elastin production diminishes, leading to increased sagging and less ‘bounce-back’, making signs of aging more apparent.

Together, collagen and elastin play crucial roles: collagen maintains the skin’s firmness and structure, while elastin provides flexibility and resilience, allowing the skin to return to its original state after movement or expressions.

Situated below the epidermis, the dermis acts as a production center for collagen and elastin. Our laser and RF treatments are designed to target this dermis layer and stimulate more of their production in order to tighten and rejuvenate the skin.

Why is there an increase in demand for RF treatments?

RF treatments have gained popularity for several reasons. One major advantage is that RF doesn’t require any social downtime, allowing clients to resume their daily activities immediately.

RF treatments are particularly popular with individuals aged between 30 to 50, offering a way to rejuvenate their appearance by tightening skin on the face, neck, and around the eyes. Incorporating an RF eye treatment into regular facial routines is an effective method to smooth crow’s feet, reduce under-eye bags, and lessen dark circles. Clients aged 50+ often combine RF with other treatments (such as laser) to boost skin rejuvenation.

RF treatments are ideal before special events for an enhanced appearance. However, the most significant results are observed after a few sessions, as these treatments progressively stimulate collagen and elastin production for cumulative, long-lasting results. We typically recommend a series of 3-5 treatments, spaced every 10 to 30 days for a particularly noticeable boost. In this case, it is best to have one (of these 3-5 treatments) at least once a month, or even more effectively, every 10 days.

Clients can choose from various RF treatments, including those specifically designed for the eyes, face, and neck areas, such as the TempSure RF treatment, to target their specific concerns. RF also stimulates lymphatic flushing, breaks down natural debris such as dead fat cells, and triggers the body’s natural healing responses. As a result, the overall volume in an area targeted for cellulite/contouring (often done with our FlexSure RF treatment) diminishes, leading to a more toned, smooth and sculpted appearance.
