Lasers and Fractional Radiofrequency
Lasers and radiofrequency play an increasingly significant role in addressing facial and body rejuvenation. "Espace Medical Braffort" utilizes the most sophisticated and innovative techniques in this field.
Our fractional laser is entirely non-ablative and has demonstrated its effectiveness in treating rejuvenation, scars, enlarged pores, and discoloration. It yields straightforward post-treatment experiences (typically mild redness lasting up to 24 to 48 hours at most), allowing an immediate return to regular activities for the patient.
Radiofrequency now serves as a non-invasive alternative to skin laxity issues, known as "skin tightening" through radiofrequency. This advanced method has been present in the United States for about a decade and arrived in Europe as early as 2006. The application of electromagnetic radiofrequency waves with sterile needles (rather than lasers) in the deep layers of the dermis (1 to 3.5 mm) induces collagen fiber contraction, resulting in a "firming and rejuvenating effect" on the skin.
"Espace Medical Braffort" offers various sophisticated radiofrequency technologies such as Secret RF (MNRF) and Thermage (Capacitive).
FAQ
What will I feel during fractional radiofrequency or laser treatment?
You will experience an intense sensation of heat with each pulse.
What will my appearance be like after the treatment?
A slight redness and mild swelling of the skin may occur, typically lasting 24 to 48 hours.
How many sessions are required?
Typically, 4 to 5 sessions are needed with intervals of 4 to 6 weeks.
When are the results visible?
While the irreversible aging process cannot be halted, collagen restructuring and tissue remodeling occur, and results are visible 2 to 4 months after sessions.
Q: Am I a good candidate for this technique?
Men and women of all skin types with skin laxity can be treated. Typically, facial contours, décolleté, hands, arm laxity, buttocks, and loose abdominal skin can be treated.
What are the differences between laser and radiofrequency?
Depth of action. Significance of post-treatment effects: from simple redness with radiofrequency to the formation of transient superficial crusts for 2 days. Varying degrees of tightening effect to combat laxity. Varying effectiveness based on wrinkle depth. Fractional laser is a technique yielding results similar to ablative laser resurfacing without its significant side effects and extensive recovery. During the consultation, the practitioner will guide you toward the most suitable technique for your skin, considering the type of post-treatment effects you are willing to accept.
What are the possible side effects?
Hypo or hyperpigmentation may occur. However, this change in skin color is rare, if not exceptional, and is usually quickly resolved.
Can radiofrequency and laser be combined with other methods?
Indeed, during the initial consultation, the specialized practitioner may advise combining other methods (such as injections, mesotherapy, IPL, various lasers, etc.) to enhance the results. The outcomes of treatments can vary from person to person and are not guaranteed. Therefore, they do not bind the members of the clinic, its staff, or any third party.
