I got this for my mom because she kept complaining about her skin. But before buying it, I did some research to see how this Radio Frequency actually works. I am sharing this information with you guys, and it may help:The first question is that what exactly is radiofrequency?Radiofrequency is a type of energy, which is measured in “frequency,” or wavelengths per second. All kinds of energy, from the sound waves your iPod emits, to sunlight, to the heat coming off your body, to highly radioactive gamma rays, are classified according to their frequency on the “electromagnetic spectrum.”Radiofrequency (RF) is one category on this spectrum and includes a lot of common energy types we use every day: WiFi signals, radio and TV waves, and microwave ovens. The RF energy used in skin tightening is in the ballpark of 450 kilohertz, which is on the slow end of the radiofrequency range. To put it in greater perspective, the wavelength used in RF skin tightening is about 100 million times slower than visible light, and over 1 billion times slower than an X-ray. Physics lesson aside, RF energy is quite calm when one considers the whole electromagnetic spectrum.How does radiofrequency tighten skin?Like any form of energy, RF has the capacity to produce heat—and while each brand-name application uses a slightly different technology, all work by heating the skin’s deeper layers to induce new collagen and elastin production and encourage cell turnover, helping skin become firmer, thicker and more youthful-looking.An advantage of using RF to heat tissues, as opposed to lasers (which use higher-frequency light waves), is that the lower frequency of RF can safely penetrate to a deeper level, helping to improve skin tone and structure, even lifting tissues. Lasers, for the most part, work to improve the skin’s surface. Moreover, RF can safely treat more patients with different skin tones without risking permanent discoloration.Of course, the safety and efficacy of non-surgical RF or any treatment depend on the experience and skill of the person providing that treatment.But the most critical question is that is radiofrequency safe? Here’s what studies show.We’re all exposed to low levels of human-made RF every day, from cell phones, TV, WiFi, etc. Because it’s used for so many things, radiofrequency has been extensively studied for its impact on human health. According to the FDA, the World Health Organization has classified RF radiation as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”—right along with coffee, power lines, and body powder. However, there is no conclusive evidence that RF exposure increases cancer risk in humans, even in people regularly exposed to higher amounts of RF for their jobs.Both the American Cancer Society and Federal Communications Commission have issued extensive reports on the possible impact of radiofrequency exposure. According to the FCC: “While some experimental data have suggested a possible link between exposure and tumor formation in animals [male rats] exposed under certain specific conditions [9 hours of daily exposure], the results have not been independently replicated. Many other studies have failed to find evidence for a link to cancer or any related condition.”The main known risk associated with RF is the potential for burns from the thermal heating effect for people exposed to high doses—for instance, those who work around radar equipment without proper protection.But our experience working with this device:The face lifting device features a built-in safety system that adjusts the strength of the treatment to match the temperature of the skin.This device is very gentle on the skin and provides results without leaving any marks or causing any pain. Based on the reviews I read about this device, most people see visible results within two weeks, so it shouldn’t take long before your skin models a new glow that looks more youthful.This radio frequency beauty device features a lightweight wand, which is easy to hold and to move. It has two different attachments for face and body so that you can use the right one for your needs.Each individual treatment is recommended at a maximum of 10 to 15 minutes to get the best results, with only around 5 minutes needed for your face. It also offers three different program settings so that you can choose the one that’s suitable for your treatment. The central part of the device has feet to stabilize it, and ventilation at the back to help regulate the heat.The device comes with a conductive gel, which helps the device to work better and protects your skin so that you don’t need to buy it separately. However, you can also buy gels separately and choose any product that you prefer. There are many gels on Amazon you can choose from, so you can select one that you think offers you what you’re looking for.The radiofrequency created the desired effect – and more – and the system was easy to use. But, then there are all those that struggled with the product’s inconsistencies and didn’t see the results expected.There is a bit of a gamble here – and one that might not be worth the full price. Find this beauty care device on sale somewhere to lessen the risk.Pros: The impact of the RF system on so many different skincare issues The speed of some of the results achieved The smooth motion of the wand The ability to use the device on different body parts The safety features to protect users at homeCons: Not all users are impressed with the results seen (Based on the reviews) There are limitations on who can use the product. The price is far too high for everyone
