Introduction to Radiofrequency Lifting

Hello, this is Raon Dermatology in Wangsimni!

Have you ever felt that your skin loses elasticity more easily than before? At some point, everyone has probably experienced this. The skin loses firmness and starts to sag, and it may even look thinner than it used to! These changes are not simply due to fatigue, but are a natural phenomenon that occurs as the inner structure of the skin slowly weakens. In particular, when collagen, which supports elasticity, decreases, it becomes difficult for the skin to maintain its own firmness! That is why methods like radiofrequency lifting, which directly stimulate the inside of the skin to restore elasticity, are gaining a lot of attention these days :)

Introduction to Radiofrequency Lifting

Causes of Decreased Skin Elasticity

The process of losing skin elasticity is closely linked to a decrease in collagen. Collagen is a fibrous protein that firmly supports the dermis and plays a key role in keeping skin firm. However, from the late 20s onward, its amount gradually decreases, and its structure becomes looser, so the skin can no longer hold up as firmly as before. In addition, factors such as ultraviolet rays, stress, and lack of sleep speed up the rate of damage!

When elasticity declines, changes such as sagging, enlarged pores, and rougher skin texture appear on the surface. This is because weakened collagen causes the skin to lose the strength to pull itself back into shape. That is why caring for the surface alone is not enough; a method that rebuilds the structure inside the skin is needed. This is exactly why lifting with radiofrequency has gained attention.

<Causes of decreased skin elasticity>

• A decline in collagen that supports the skin

• A decrease in production begins in the late 20s

• Ultraviolet rays, stress, and lack of sleep promote breakdown

• Enlarged pores and causes fine lines and sagging

Causes of Decreased Skin Elasticity

Potenza DIA

First, Potenza DIA is a non-invasive device that delivers radiofrequency deep into the skin without opening the skin. When energy is delivered to the skin layers through the DIAMOND tip, the dermal fibers contract immediately, and during the recovery process that follows, new collagen formation is promoted. You may feel an improvement in firmness right away, and over time, changes continue as the elasticity structure gradually becomes more organized.

A particularly notable feature is that it alternates between monopolar and bipolar energy. As the two methods work in turn, they stimulate both deep and shallow layers evenly, making it suitable for a wide range of concerns such as cheek sagging, a blurred jawline, and reduced overall elasticity. The risk of skin damage is low, so returning to daily life is quick! Since the intensity can be adjusted according to skin thickness and elasticity, it is well suited for customized care.

Density High

Second, Density High is a device that delivers 6.78MHz radiofrequency and 400W high-output energy at the same time to strongly stimulate the elasticity layer. When the two energies act simultaneously, collagen production is induced over a broader range than before, helping restore firm support in sagging areas. It is a lifting option that can be considered first when facial elasticity has significantly declined due to aging.

Unlike the existing Density Classic, the key point is that it can deliver monopolar and bipolar energy at once. Because the stimulation that strongly pulls on deeper layers and the tightening effect on shallower layers occur simultaneously, elasticity improvement is more efficient. Another advantage is that it can deliver sufficient heat-based stimulation without causing direct damage to the skin, allowing for a balanced improvement in elasticity across different areas.

<Features of Density High>

• Upgraded version of Density Classic

• Simultaneous monopolar and bipolar delivery

• Lifting stimulation delivered to deep elasticity layers

• Suitable for improving overall sagging caused by aging

Monopolar & Bipolar

It is also helpful to understand monopolar and bipolar energy~ First, monopolar radiofrequency has a structure in which energy is emitted from one side and exits through the other side. In this process, heat is delivered deep into the skin and can provide strong stimulation to areas where the elasticity layer tends to weaken, such as the cheeks and jawline. It tightly pulls collagen in the deep skin, making it suitable for contour improvement and addressing sagging.

On the other hand, the bipolar method has two poles positioned close together, so heat is concentrated in relatively shallow layers. It is good for improving concerns directly related to skin texture, such as surface elasticity, fine lines, and enlarged pores. It is important to use the two methods appropriately depending on the situation, and some devices can deliver both energies together to provide combined effects.

Effects of Radiofrequency Lifting

The effects of radiofrequency lifting covered today appear across multiple layers. First, as collagen and elastin are reorganized, the skin’s elasticity rises in a stable way, and areas such as the cheeks and jawline may show more defined contours. As the heat stimulation awakens the dermis overall, skin texture becomes smoother and pores appear noticeably less stretched!

In addition, as the skin begins to be supported more firmly, fine lines become less visible, and the skin returns to its original state more quickly after facial expressions change. If treatments are performed at appropriate intervals, the changes can continue more steadily, so making a plan that matches your skin condition will be very helpful :)

<Effects of radiofrequency lifting>

• Regeneration of collagen and elastin in the dermis

• Improved contour and enhanced elasticity in the cheeks and jawline

• Overall improvement in skin texture, including fine lines and pores

• Natural-looking results with quick return to daily life
