The Sunshine Coast has warmed up. Singlets are back out, the beach is calling, and the calendar is filling with Christmas parties and holidays. It's also the right moment to start any treatment that works gradually.
If firmer, more supported skin is on your list before summer, spring is the time to start. Here's why timing matters.
RF skin tightening delivers controlled radiofrequency
energy into the deeper layers of the skin. This encourages your body's own collagen production. Most people feel a warm, tingling sensation
during treatment, similar to a hot stone massage. Read
more about collagen and RF.
RF is a course, not a one-off. A series of 4 to 6 treatments, spaced a few weeks apart, is typically recommended so collagen can build gradually. Starting in spring gives that course room to unfold at a comfortable pace, instead of squeezing sessions into the weeks before an event.
Because RF relies on your body's own collagen response, change is gradual. Noticeable results typically appear from around 6 to 8 weeks, with continued improvement for up to about three months. Start a course in spring and that change is developing through December and into the new year. Results vary, and your nurse will talk through what's realistic for your skin.
RF can be used across the face, neck and body, depending on your assessment. Common areas include:
RF is non-surgical, and most people return to normal activities straight away. Mild redness, warmth or swelling is common and usually settles within a few hours. As with any energy-based treatment, there's a small risk of skin irritation, blistering or burns, which is why your nurse checks your skin and medical history first. RF isn't suitable for everyone, for example during pregnancy or with some implants.
Our summers are strong. Your nurse won't treat sunburnt skin, and you should wear a broad-spectrum SPF50+ every day throughout your course. Raise any holidays or beach plans at your consultation so your sessions can be timed around them.
Yes. RF targets laxity and firmness, so it pairs well with treatments for texture, tone and hydration, such as peels, skin needling or the
Korean Glass Facial. For body areas, it's often planned alongside fat
cavitation.
Your nurse will map out a plan around your goals and your summer calendar.
Does RF hurt?
Most people describe it as warm and relaxing. A numbing cream can be used if needed.
How long do results last?
Collagen keeps building for a few months after a course. Maintenance sessions are often recommended to keep results going.
Can I spread the cost?
Skin Gym members put weekly wallet credit towards treatments like RF. See Skin Gym.
