What is RF Skin Tightening?
Throughout our early years, we get to benefit from an abundant supply of collagen and elastin that helps to keep our complexion smooth and firm. Later on, this vital storage of nutrients is likely to diminish, causing these tissues to lose elasticity, which leads to dynamic wrinkles and a sagging appearance. When you want to enhance the look of your skin nonsurgically, then you may consider radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening at Voci Plastic Surgery. With the application of Venus Legacy™ technology, nonsurgical skin tightening works to increase the natural generation of elastin and collagen so you can obtain tighter, glowing skin. Dr. Vincent E. Voci and his staff in Charlotte, NC are pleased to offer nonsurgical skin tightening for people who desire to rejuvenate and enhance their skin with effective, noninvasive treatments.

How is RF Skin Tightening Performed?
As soon as you come to Voci Plastic Surgery for your procedure, we'll start by cleaning the necessary areas. We may apply a numbing ointment to soothe the area over the course of your treatment; however, many individuals agree that any mild soreness is brief and manageable. When you are ready, your technician will smoothly run the Venus Legacy instrument over your skin a number of times for comprehensive results. This technique helps encourage your body's innate creation of nutrients, which makes the skin taut and supple as the treatment takes effect. Your procedure will probably take around 30 – 90 minutes based on the size and the number of treatment areas. When your treatment is over, you can expect to immediately get back to your normal routine.
What Results Can I Expect from RF Skin Tightening?
After your procedure is complete, the affected regions may appear pink or irritated, and the skin may feel uncomfortable. However, any irritation will likely fade soon. During your session at Voci Plastic Surgery, Dr. Voci will let you know the best methods to treat your skin after your session. During the healing process, it's necessary to use a moisturizing cream and avoid UV exposure. The majority of individuals won’t see results just after their session. Because the production of collagen and elastin takes time, you can expect to see your final results within several months. Outcomes following nonsurgical skin tightening can last for years to come.
