Should you add radiofrequency to your clinic’s offering?

Aesthetic physician Dr Dianni Dai considers the benefits of incorporating energy-based treatments into your clinic

Our core clientele has historically been injectable clients, and, while injectable treatments play a crucial role in skin rejuvenation, they do not always meet all the skincare needs our clients have and come with risks of bruising, swelling, redness, and downtime.

In recent years, we have witnessed an increasing demand from our clients for energy-based treatments, especially for safe and effective treatments which can be done quickly with minimal downtime.

We decided to expand our treatment offering by bringing APG Tech’s Golden Radiofrequency (RF) into our clinic and have witnessed a significant increase in the uptake of the treatment as either a standalone treatment or an adjunct treatment to other treatments we offer such as botulinum toxin injections, dermal fillers, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, facials and chemical peels.

HOW WE USE RF IN OUR CLINIC

In our clinic, we use RF to treat the face, neck, and body.

When used in the face and the neck, we find that RF treatments are very efficient for skin laxity, fine lines, loss of skin elasticity/leathery skin and sagging. RF is also an extremely popular treatment to combine with other treatments.

Our package combining a facial treatment and Golden RF is one of our top treatments in our therapist division, and we also treat many clients with RF for skin laxity and mild cellulitis on bodily areas such as the abdomen, the thighs, the buttocks and beyond.

These conditions affect women significantly following childbirth or menopause and we are always thrilled to see improvement in our clients’ conditions as well as their confidence with the treatment.

We also combine the treatment with Dibi Milano products, including exclusive skincare ranges for hormonal or peri-menopausal skin which we use in combination with the energy-based treatments.

CHOOSING YOUR DEVICE

Choosing the device you’ll be using during the treatments is a huge commitment, and there are lots of elements to think about when investing in a new machine.

When it came to what I was looking for, I knew I wanted a non-invasive and completely painless treatment which not only has zero downtime but also gradually brings out excellent skin rejuvenation results.

APG Tech’s Golden RF is a smart multipolar radiofrequency device, with four gold plated applicators to treat all areas of the body.

The applicators are smart designed so that they can detect real time skin temperatures to ensure efficient heating and avoid overheating and underheating of the skin, with radiofrequency energy delivered to the skin via the applicators, meaning no skin barrier damage as there is no needle involved.

The ‘no needle’ approach is hugely popular amongst our clients who are pain sensitive or do not want to undergo any invasive treatments with associated downtime – our patients absolutely love the treatment, and so do we!
