Radiofrequency (RF) Treatments in Nashville

What is RadioFrequency (RF) Treatment?

If you follow the modern-day beauty industry at all, odds are you’ve heard of Radiofrequency (RF) Treatment. RF Treatment has become increasingly popular in aesthetics as a cutting-edge treatment for skin tightening. This advanced technology has been proven to rejuvenate the skin, reduce wrinkles, and tighten areas of laxity. It’s also useful in treating vision-related problems, such as dry eye. At our cutting-edge Nashville Optometry clinic, we’re proud to bring the latest in RF Treatments to our patients with TempSure Envi by Cynosure.

The TempSure Envi system by Cynosure uses advanced radiofrequency technology to deliver controlled thermal energy into the deepest layers of the skin. This energy doesn’t cause damage to the skin but instead stimulates the underlying tissues to produce more collagen and promote overall skin tightening. The technology inside the TempSure Envi system ensures that no damage is done to the skin by continuously monitoring the temperature at the treatment area in real time. Apart from limiting damage, this technology also maximizes your results by maintaining the proper therapeutic temperature throughout your treatment session.

These settings are fully customizable, which allows our Nashville aestheticians to adjust the parameters, including energy level, treatment duration, and depth of penetration, ensuring you have the appropriate level of treatment for your specific skin and your overall goals. This versatility is one of the many reasons we chose the TempSure Envi system for RF Treatments in Nashville.

Why Should I Get RF Treatments

RF treatments in Nashville are great for a wide variety of people, including those seeking preventative skincare treatments, struggling with dry-eye symptoms, or wanting to improve the texture and elasticity of their skin through non-surgical or less invasive treatments. Unlike some skin treatments, RF Treatments are minimally invasive and require no to minimal downtime, providing a safe, versatile, and effective solution for your targeted skincare needs.

RF Treatments by the TempSure Envi system are a more natural approach to reducing fine lines and wrinkles, rejuvenating skin texture, and improving tightness from natural collagen stimulation. The targeted energy provided by the TempSure Envi system penetrates the deepest layers of your skin and stimulates collagen production. Collagen is a critical protein responsible for your skin’s structure and elasticity. Loss of collagen over time is one of the leading causes of skin laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles, and increasing its production over time leads to more youthful-looking skin that is firmer and smoother.

RF treatments are also perfect for those who are looking for gradual, natural-looking results that appear over time. While many of our clients tell us they see noticeable changes after their first treatment, the full benefit from RF treatments will emerge as your natural collagen production increases. Not only does this keep you from any potentially unwanted questions about your appearance, but it also leads you to the most natural-looking results, especially when compared with invasive or more aggressive approaches. The results of RF treatments are also long-lasting, freeing you up to focus on other aspects of your health and wellness.

Though so many of our patients seek our RF treatments for their face, neck, and chest, this treatment is effective for all areas of the face and body. Wherever you’d benefit from a little skin tightening or wrinkle reduction, RF treatment can be a helpful tool. Below are a few areas of the face and body where you may want to consider getting RF treatments in Nashville.

Face: Forehead, Eye Area, Cheeks, Nasolabial Folds, Jawline, Chin, and Neck

Body: Abdomen, Arms, Thighs, Buttocks, Décolletage, and Knees

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

The number of sessions of Cynosure TempSure Envi RF treatments will vary depending on the area of the face or body you are treating, your skin’s overall condition, your long-term treatment goals, and how well your body responds to these treatments. Our practitioners will work with you to develop a customizable treatment plan. In general, though, this is what you can expect:

Mild to Moderate Skin Concerns, including mild to moderate skin laxity, fine lines, and wrinkles: 3 to 4 treatment sessions spaced approximately 2 to 4 weeks apart.
For moderate to severe skin concerns, including more pronounced skin laxity, deeper wrinkles, or more significant signs of aging: 6 to 8 sessions or more, spaced at regular intervals, are recommended.
Maintenance Sessions depend on individual needs and preferences but generally should be scheduled every 3 to 6 months.

What Are the Side Effects?

Luckily, RF treatments with TempSure Envi are pretty minimal, with hardly any downtime. Some individuals may experience mild and temporary reactions following the procedure, including the following:

Mild redness in the treatment area is common and often resolves within a few hours to up to 48 hours.
Some individuals may experience slight swelling or puffiness in the treated area, and it usually resolves in a few hours.
During the RF treatment session, you may experience a sensation of warmth, which stops shortly after the session is completed.
Some individuals may experience mild discomfort or a tingling sensation during the procedure.
Although uncommon, rare adverse reactions such as blistering, bruising, or changes in skin pigmentation may occur following TempSure Envi treatment. These reactions usually resolve within a week.

What to Expect From Your RF Treatments

As we’ve mentioned, RF treatments, especially with the TempsSure Envi system by Cynosure, are a minimally invasive means to treat skin-related conditions by helping your body produce more collagen. The treatment generally occurs over several sessions, depending on the area you’re treating and the severity of the issues. In general, when you come in for RF treatments in Nashville at Music City Optical, here’s what you can expect:

Consult with a qualified aesthetician or healthcare professional to discuss your specific skin concerns and long-term goals.
Skin Prep to remove makeup, oils, or debris. During your consultation, your practitioner will tell you of any additional preparation needed, including avoiding the sun, changes to your skincare routine, and certain medications.
The treatment begins with the application of a gel. Once the skin is prepped, the TempSure Envi device will be applied to the treatment area. We’ll adjust the device’s settings as needed throughout the treatment session and continue applying RF treatment until we’ve achieved our goals.
There is typically no downtime after the treatment session, allowing you to resume your normal activities immediately. Your practitioner will give you any specific aftercare instructions and recommend any follow-up appointments.
