Radio Frequency (RF) skin tightening is a non-invasive, clinically proven treatment that uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to heat the deeper layers of the skin. The process stimulates collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production—key components for firmer, healthier skin .
SkinBase’s Collagen Lift RF treatment, often dubbed the “Facelift Facial,” targets both the face and body. It effectively tightens sagging skin, smooths fine lines, and lifts areas like the jawline, neck, cheeks, and décolleté .
Technology Breakdown: Monopolar vs Bipolar
-
Monopolar RF: Uses a single electrode with a grounding plate. This setup heats deeper subdermal tissues, ideal for lifting jowls and body contouring .
-
Bipolar RF: The current flows only between two electrodes on the handpiece, heating more superficially—perfect for delicate areas like the face, under-eyes, and neck .
SkinBase offers both, giving therapists the flexibility to customize treatments for different areas and client needs.
What Happens During Treatment
-
A ceramic handheld wand delivers RF energy in sweeping, circular motions.
-
Ideal skin temperature (around 40–42 °C) is reached, causing immediate elastin fibre contraction and a visible lifting effect .
-
The heating also triggers a healing response—stimulating new collagen and elastin production over time ().
-
Each session takes just 30 minutes, and is typically painless—feeling like a warm, relaxing massage ().
Clinical Results & Longevity

-
Histological proof: Studies on monopolar RF show increases in collagen I & III and noticeable enhancement of skin firmness over 3–6 months .
