What dermatologists have to say about radiofrequency facial
Radiofrequency facial are booming.
More and more people are seeking the benefits of this treatment at home. However, it is still a very specific professional treatment that raises many doubts and questions from the end consumer.
At Masderm, together with our team of dermatologists, we provide answers to all of them and explain how to perform the radiofrequency facial treatment at home with the same results and in a safe way.
What is radiofrequency facial?
Radiofrequency facial is a treatment to rejuvenate facial skin in a non-invasive way, thanks to the application of a high frequency electromagnetic current that penetrates the deep layers of facial skin. This electromagnetic current is transformed into heat that reaches the deep layers of the skin without affecting the superficial layers.
What are the benefits of radiofrequency facial?
The energies in the form of heat generated by radiofrequency facial devices provide short and medium term benefits to the facial skin by:
- Generating a flash effect on facial skin.
- Increasing the radiance of the skin.
- Making skin smoother and softer.
- Reducing flaccidity.
- Reducing wrinkles.
- Reducing skin stains, acne marks, eczema and hyperpigmentation.
What is the difference between home and cabin radiofrequency?
Traditionally, radiofrequency treatments were carried out in beauty centres and specialised clinics, but technology has advanced and has made it possible to have a device to carry out the radiofrequency treatment at home.The facial radiofrequency devices for treatment at home are a 100% safe adaptation so that anyone can use them with all the safety measures.
How to use radiofrequency facial at home?
At Masderm we explain how radiofrequency facial works in 5 simple steps:- Clean the face
- Apply the specific cream for the radiofrequency treatment on your face.
- Choose the working mode of the radiofrequency device.
- Massage over the area to be treated with the device.
- Massage over the area until the active ingredients of the radiofrequency facial cream have completely penetrated.
Is radiofrequency facial painful?
Radiofrequency facial devices emit electromagnetic waves that generate energy in the form of heat in the deep layers of the skin. This energy is highly concentrated in the treatment area and does not cause any pain.
Although the treatment area is very localised and the technique is not painful, some people may experience a sensation of heat or slight discomfort that is relieved within a few minutes.
Occasionally, a slight reddening (similar to that of prolonged exposure to the sun) may appear in the area of application, which disappears within an hour.
Who is this treatment recommended for?
Radiofrequency helps to promote the formation of collagen in the facial skin, which is why we recommend using the treatment from the age of 30 onwards, as this is when the lack of endogenous collagen synthesis in our body begins to be noticed.
Even so, the radiofrequency device RF Face Device has different modes to treat different conditions such as the cleansing function or the anti-acne function that can be used in people under 30 years of age.
In which cases is radiofrequency facial not recommended?
As with radiofrequency body, radiofrequency facial also has its contraindications which are: pregnancy and breastfeeding, heart diseases, coagulation disorders, neuromuscular diseases, recent collagen implants, metal prosthesis, pacemaker or morbid obesity.
The important thing is to use a device with a guarantee and to apply the treatment correctly following the given instructions.

Can it be combined with other techniques?
One of the advantages of radiofrequency facial is that it offers the possibility of being complemented with other medical-aesthetic techniques to improve the final result. For example:- Botox for the elimination of annoying expression wrinkles.
- Laser for the elimination of wrinkles, stains and acne scars.
When are the results of the treatment noticeable?
From the second session onwards, the first results can be noticed, but to appreciate the contraction of the skin and the definitive result, between four to eight sessions are required (equivalent to a period of between two and five months), depending on the area and the degree of the problem to be treated.How long do the effects of radiotherapy facial last?
The changes made to the skin are permanent. Radiofrequency improves the production of collagen and elastin, and the result improves the appearance of the skin.By doing 3 maintenance sessions a year you will be able to extend the results of the treatment.
How many times can a radiofrequency facial be performed?
Generally, we recommend between 6 to 10 radiofrequency sessions, applied once a week. The treatment also includes a maintenance protocol that is first performed every 15 days and then spaced out to once a month.
Is it better to use gel or cream?
At Masderm we have designed a Gel-Cream formula that has the advantages of both products and a high concentration of active ingredients that improve the final result on facial skin.
With Masderm you can use the same products that cosmetic doctors use in clinics, but comfortably at home. Here you can buy the Radiofrequency Facial Flaccidity Treatment.
