Radiofrequency RF Technology

RF (Radiofrequency) energy produces a controlled heating that penetrates your skin and naturally stimulates the production of collagen, referred to as collagen remodeling.  This results in your skin becoming more elastic, firm, tight and smooth over time.  RF energy can also damage fat cells and assist in fat reduction.

RF technology is safe for most people but certain contraindications do exist.  PLEASE ADVISE US if you are pregnant or lactating or have implanted devices such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump, or other device, or if you are taking medications causing photosensitivity, like Accutane.

RF technology is non-invasive, produces heat, but should not cause pain; however, please report any discomfort to your treatment specialist.  Your treatment specialist has the ability to turn down the energy to bring your treatment to a point where it is comfortable for you. 

Though your treatment specialist will be monitoring closely, there is a possibility of burning.  To avoid a burn, it is crucial to tell your treatment specialist if it becomes hot or becomes painful.  You may have a sunkissed feeling after your treatment, mild swelling, and/or experience redness to the area that goes away in 2 -24 hours.

Improvement is gradual and cumulative.  Before/After photos at your first and last treatments of your series of treatments can be beneficial to tracking treatment progress and may be used. 

Pro Tip:  We recommend the use of one ‘General Consent’ for each patient that, among other things, includes the general consent and release for photos to track progress, and in particular, photos to also use on your website and in your marketing.  These photos sell your services.

● If you use a General Consent that includes the consent for photos, you may omit the two sentences referencing photos above.

I consent to these photographs to track my progress if applicable.

I have read and understand all the foregoing statements about RF Technology.  I’ve had the opportunity to ask questions and understand there are alternatives to this treatment and elect to undergo this treatment.

Pro Tip:  We recommend you have the person obtaining the client’s consent print (legibly) as a witness.  If issues arise at a later date, you don’t have to rely on your memory
