Radio Frequency (RF) skin tightening is an innovative aesthetic procedure that uses radio frequency or radio wave energy. This method is used to heat tissue, which in turn stimulates the production of subdermal collagen. By doing this, RF treatments effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin.

What is Elight Facial?

Elight is a Combination of Radio Frequency and IPL treatment

Elight includes three advanced technologies that combine to deliver effective treatments without sacrificing comfort. Elight includes both the Radio Frequency (RF) as well as Intense Pulse Light (IPL) as well as a “Cool Touch” mechanism.  

  • Elight Facial uses Radio frequency (RF) waves and Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Helps improve skin texture.
  • Elight Facial emits intense pulses of non-coherent light over a range of wavelengths from 500nm to 1200nm, which helps to improve skin qualities.
  • Elight Facial is an effective way to rejuvenate skin, reduce wrinkles and enhance skin elasticity. It stimulates the structural change of collagen fibers to its original elasticity.
The RF V-Lift Facial involves the use of a handheld device that emits RF energy. This energy penetrates and heats the deeper layers of your skin, stimulating collagen production which in turn causes your skin to contract and tighten.

Radio Frequency

Understanding Radio Frequency Skin Tightening

Radio Frequency (RF) skin tightening is an innovative aesthetic procedure that uses radio frequency or radio wave energy. This method is used to heat tissue, which in turn stimulates the production of subdermal collagen. By doing this, RF treatments effectively reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and loose skin.

How Does Radio Frequency Work for Skin Improvement?

The mechanism of RF involves operating at a lower frequency than the light waves used in laser treatments. Because of this, RF can safely penetrate beyond the skin surface to improve skin tone and structure. RF generates an electromagnetic field between two poles, which passes through the deepest parts of the skin. This process results in cellular movement, which, when repeated through treatments, can dramatically tighten skin.

The Benefits and Complementary Nature of RF Treatments

The noticeable outcomes of RF treatments include a more defined jaw contour and firmer cheeks. Thanks to the unique nature of RF, it greatly complements Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatments, thus enhancing the overall treatment effect. This combined approach offers a comprehensive solution to various skin concerns, leveraging the unique strengths of both RF and IPL technologies.

Wellaholic provides our popular Elight Facial Collagen Boost, a six-step technology facial which effectively banishes your pimple and acne problems using the appropriate energy rays to eliminate the acne-causing bacteria.

Evidence-Based Effect of RF Facial Rejuvenation

Monopolar Radiofrequency: An Emerging Skin-tightening Solution

Monopolar radiofrequency (RF) is being recognised as a nonablative, gentler skin-tightening treatment. It works by delivering uniform heat to the dermis at a controlled depth. This approach was studied in a research by the Department of Dermatology, Al-Minya University, Egypt, where six individuals of Fitzpatrick skin type III to IV and Glogau class I to II wrinkles underwent treatment.

The Methodology and Results of RF Treatment Study

The participants of the study were subjected to six sessions of RF treatment over a period of 3 months, with two-week intervals between sessions. Standard photographs and skin biopsy specimens were obtained at baseline, and at 3 and 6 months after the start of the treatment. Researchers then performed quantitative evaluation of total elastin, collagen types I and III, and newly synthesized collagen using computerized histometric and immunohistochemical techniques.

Clinical Outcomes and Satisfaction with RF Treatment

The RF treatment resulted in noticeable clinical improvements and high patient satisfaction levels, with corresponding facial skin improvements. Compared with the baseline, there was a statistically significant increase in the mean of collagen types I and III, and newly synthesized collagen. Conversely, the mean of total elastin significantly decreased, at the end of treatment and 3 months post-treatment. These findings demonstrate the potential efficacy of RF as a skin-tightening treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the science behind elight facial treatments?

Elight facial treatments utilise a combination of Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and Radio Frequency (RF) technology. The IPL works on the surface layers of the skin, targeting pigmentation, and vascular irregularities, while the RF energy penetrates deeper to promote collagen production and skin tightening.

How often should I get an elight facial in Singapore?

The frequency of elight facials varies based on individual skin types and conditions. However, as a general rule, most skin specialists recommend one treatment per month for optimal results.

Are elight facials safe for all skin types?

Elight facials are generally safe for all skin types. However, skin sensitivity, health conditions, and certain medications might influence how your skin responds to the treatment. Always consult with a professional before trying new skin treatments.

What are the benefits of choosing elight facial treatment over traditional facial treatments?

Elight facial treatments offer a range of benefits over traditional facials. They can help with skin tightening, reducing pigmentation, improving skin tone, and stimulating collagen production.
