RF Skin Tightening

Following treatment, it is normal to experience: Mild redness or warmth in the treated area, slight tenderness or sensitivity, temporary swelling in some clients, a mild tingling sensation as the skin settles. These reactions are temporary and usually resolve within a few hours, although mild tenderness may occasionally last for 24–48 hours. Immediately after treatment: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin well hydrated, apply 100% Aloe Vera Gel if the treated area feels warm or sensitive. Wear loose, comfortable clothing if you have received a body treatment, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to treated areas exposed to daylight. For the first 24–48 hours: Avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms and other heat treatments, avoid excessive sun exposure and sunbeds, avoid vigorous exercise if the treated area feels tender, avoid applying heavily perfumed products or products that may irritate the skin, do not massage the treated area unless advised by your practitioner. To help maintain and enhance your results: Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water, maintain a healthy, balanced diet, protect your skin with a daily SPF 30 or higher, follow any personalised skincare advice provided by your practitioner, attend your recommended course of treatments and maintenance sessions for optimal long-term skin tightening. Please contact **Body Perfection Clinic** if you experience: Increasing pain or discomfort, excessive redness or swelling lasting longer than 72 hours, blistering or skin damage, signs of infection, including increasing redness, heat or discharge, any unexpected or concerning reaction following your treatment. Your practitioner will be happy to advise you and arrange a review appointment if required.

To ensure your Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Tightening treatment is safe, comfortable and as effective as possible, please follow the advice below before your appointment: Drink plenty of water during the 24 hours before your treatment. Well-hydrated tissue responds more effectively to radio frequency energy and supports your body's natural healing response. Aim to drink 1.5–2 litres of water on the day before your appointment and continue to stay well hydrated on the day of treatment. Avoid alcohol and caffeine for at least 24 hours before your appointment, as both can contribute to dehydration, eat a light, healthy meal before your treatment and avoid heavy, fatty meals on the day of your appointment. Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, lotions, oils or body creams on the treatment area, avoid excessive sun exposure, sunbeds, saunas and steam rooms for 24 hours before treatment. Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medication (such as ibuprofen) before treatment unless it has been prescribed by your doctor, as these medications may interfere with the body's natural healing response. Wear loose, comfortable clothing if you are having a body treatment to ensure comfort during and after your appointment. Please inform your practitioner of any changes to your medical history, recent illness, medications, implanted medical devices or pregnancy status before treatment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your skin, discuss your treatment goals and confirm that Radio Frequency Skin Tightening is suitable for you. Your treatment will then be tailored to your individual needs to achieve the safest and most effective results.

Treatment is not suitable for clients with: Active cancer or those currently undergoing cancer treatment, pregnancy, breastfeeding, cardiac pacemakers or implanted electronic medical devices.

For your RF Skin Tightening appointment, we recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the treatment area. If you are having treatment on the face, neck or chest, a loose top with a wide neckline or buttons is ideal to minimise friction afterwards. If treatment is being performed on the abdomen, arms, thighs or other body areas, wear soft, breathable clothing that can be easily adjusted. Avoid tight garments, shapewear or restrictive clothing, as the treated area may feel slightly warm or sensitive following your appointment. Please arrive with clean skin free from makeup, fake tan, moisturisers, oils and perfumes where possible. Soft fabrics are recommended to maximise comfort after treatment. Your comfort and privacy are always our priority, and disposable headbands, towels and gowns are provided when required. Most clients are able to return to normal activities immediately following treatment.
