At Ribe Clinic we have all the cutting-edge technologies to perform aesthetic medical treatments to firm sagging skin of face and neck. Among the newest treatments for flaccidity is fractional radiofrequency. Depending on the degree and location of the flaccidity (face, neck, and facial contour) we will use different parameters and propose a number of sessions.
Patients ask us: Can sagging skin be eliminated? To completely eliminate the flaccidity when it is moderate or severe with non-invasive treatments is not possible, but medical facial aesthetic treatments can improve it remarkably and in addition the results obtained can be maintained. Currently, to have a high patients’ satisfaction with these treatments, it is recommended to start treating the first signs of flaccidity as soon as possible.
As a novelty, we have a fractional radiofrequency medical device to firm sagging skin of face and neck. It is a new line of safe and effective technology based on radiofrequency applied with a matrix. The medical device is called E-matrix (by Syneron Candela).
Radiofrequency energy is applied precisely on the skin with signs of flaccidity with a hand piece that has a matrix. By emitting the radiofrequency through this matrix, the energy penetrates the flaccid skin creating some treatment columns and leaving a healthy skin around the columns that is not affected. Thus, we have an area that we treat and another that does not, that is in charge of accelerating the process of creating new collagen of better quality while contracting the skin.
Progressively, after these treatment sessions to reaffirm the face and neck, the production of new collagen and healthy skin cells is activated. The texture of the skin becomes softer and firmer.
The E-matrix subablative radiofrequency treatment is a safe and effective solution for all skin types. It is important to make a medical visit to evaluate your case and be in expert hands in this innovative technology.
It will depend on the degree of flaccidity. The usual protocol is 5 sessions, 1 session every 3-4 weeks. Treatment can be done on the entire face, on the entire neck, both and periocular.
To reaffirm the face with subablative radiofrequency E-matrix, anesthetic cream is applied 1 hour before in the area to be treated. During the treatment, which lasts about 15 minutes, there is slight discomfort that the patients describe as “small punctures” or a very tolerant stinging heat.
After treatment with subablative radiofrequency E matrix to firm sagging skin of face and neck, skin shows edema (mild swelling) and erythema (mild redness) similar to mild sunburn. A soothing and restorative cream is applied twice a day for 3-4 days. The routine and social life is resumed within a few hours.
After the first session, at 10-15 days, there is already an improvement in flaccidity and higher skin quality. These results increase as more sessions are done.
