One of the newest skin repair and anti-aging technologies is Araf Fractional technology, which safely and effectively restores the skin to a younger and more radiant state. To answer the question of what is fractional RF, it must be said that RF technology is one of the most effective methods of treatment and firming of the skin. This technology is an organic way to regenerate collagen and elastin, which makes the skin smoother and more voluminous, which will ultimately leave your skin smoother and clearer with fewer wrinkles.
How does fractional RF work?
In short, fractional RF technology uses very fine needles (made of gold) to gently pierce the surface of the skin and enter the dermis layer, bringing RF waves into that area.
RF or radio frequency waves are waves with radio wavelengths that are not harmful to the body. You can see an example of these waves every day in the form of WI-FI Wi-Fi on your mobile phone or in the microwave when you heat your food.
Now these waves increase the temperature by 50-70 degrees Celsius, causing the dermal layer of the skin to release heat shock proteins. In fact, this heat shock causes very minor damage to the skin and the skin seeks these repairs. Heat shock proteins stimulate tissue to produce and regenerate collagen and elastin, and this regeneration increases skin volume, which eliminates skin wrinkles.
What are the benefits and applications of fractional RF?
To understand the important benefits and applications of fractional RF, we can mention tightening the skin and filling in wrinkles.
Smoothing wrinkles caused by sunlight
Several articles from the same site talk about the dangers of sunlight in direct contact with the skin, how the sun alone is responsible for more than 96% of skin wrinkles. Exposure to the sun's UV rays causes damage to the skin's collagen, and the collagen fibers are broken by UV damage, causing the skin to lose its volume.
Using an RF device, especially if you protect your skin and use sunscreen, has very beneficial effects on the skin and eliminates skin wrinkles caused by sunlight to a great extent.
Contouring the skin of the body
The production of collagen in the skin causes the skin on the body to tighten, and this tightening in the right place causes the beauty of the face and other organs. prevents.
Fine wrinkle filling
Eliminating the wrinkles caused by middle age on the face is another good answer to the question of what is the use of fractional RF.
In 2018, studies showed that during 6 weeks of treatment with this device, a significant amount of wrinkles around the eyes of these middle-aged women disappeared and experienced a much smoother eye area after treatment.
Facial slimming with fractional RF
With microneedling of the RF device and the energy of the radio waves emitted from it, one can expect some breakdown of skin fat.
In 2017, studies showed that the effect of this device can be used to break down this fat.
