RF Skin Tightening

At Youth Lab, we provide consultations for Endymed 3DEEP™ Radiofrequency Skin Tightening and Contouring - a clinically proven, non-surgical treatment that uses focused radiofrequency (RF) energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin. This controlled heating stimulates collagen remodelling and supports natural tissue renewal, helping improve the visible appearance of firmness, tone, and definition over a series of treatments.

Suitable for

Reducing the appearance of wrinkles, improving laxity, and enhancing skin firmness and contour.

RF Skin Tightening treatment

As the skin ages, its collagen framework weakens, elastin fibres lose resilience, and cellular turnover slows. Combined with lifestyle factors, weight fluctuations and environmental exposure, these changes contribute to sagging, fine lines and loss of definition,  particularly around the jawline, cheeks, neck and body.

Endymed’s 3DEEP™ Radiofrequency technology delivers focused energy into the dermis, bypassing the surface layer to uniformly heat collagen-rich tissue to approximately 40–43 °C. At this temperature, existing collagen fibres contract while fibroblast activity is stimulated to produce new collagen and elastin. The process leads to gradual tightening, improved elasticity and visible refinement of the skin’s texture and contour.

Unlike monopolar or bipolar RF systems, Endymed’s phase-controlled 3DEEP™ configuration directs energy precisely between multiple electrodes, concentrating heat where it is needed most while protecting the surface. This means deeper penetration, enhanced comfort and reduced risk of overheating or surface damage.

 

Treatment Areas & Benefits

Endymed 3DEEP™ Skin Tightening can be performed on the face, neck, jawline and décolletage, as well as on the arms, abdomen, thighs and knees for general contouring.

Typical treatment goals include:

  • Enhancing firmness and tone across the face, neck and body
  • Improving fine lines and early wrinkles
  • Defining the jawline and reducing the look of mild jowls or submental laxity
  • Smoothing and tightening delicate areas around the eyes and lips
    Refining texture on the neck, décolletage or upper arms
  • Improving the appearance of skin on the abdomen and thighs following weight loss or pregnancy

Clients often describe their skin as appearing tighter, lifted and refreshed after each session, with cumulative improvement throughout their course.

How the Treatment Works

Radiofrequency energy gently warms the deeper dermal layers, causing collagen fibres to contract and stimulating long-term collagen remodelling. Each pulse of energy is carefully monitored in real time, ensuring consistent heating for optimal results.

The treatment handpiece glides across the skin in overlapping passes while maintaining surface temperature at approximately 40 °C,  a comfortable warmth similar to a hot shower. As the dermis reaches therapeutic temperature, the skin’s internal support matrix begins to reorganise and strengthen.

This controlled thermal injury triggers:

  • Immediate collagen contraction for instant firmness
  • Activation of fibroblasts to generate new collagen and elastin
  • Improved micro-circulation, nutrient delivery and lymphatic drainage

Results develop gradually as new collagen fibres form over several weeks, restoring skin structure and elasticity.

FAQs

What does the treatment involve?

Following your consultation and the formulation of a treatment plan, you will be scheduled for your treatment. The length of the procedure depends on the number of areas which are being treated. Treatment time can range from 20 to 60 minutes.  

The treatment involves passing the RF handpiece over the skin, the choice of handpiece is dependent on the area being treated. During the treatment, the deep skin layers are gradually heated while the skin surface stays at around 40 degrees (hot shower temperature). The skin temperature is monitored to ensure the correct energy is being used. The handpiece then releases RF energy deep into the skin to begin the renewal process.

The treatment is generally comfortable. You may experience a sensation of warmth as RF energy passes through the skin. Following the treatment, the skin may be red, tighter plumper in appearance.

How long do results last?

Your practitioner will recommend a tailored treatment plan based on your skin concerns and goals. Typically, a course of six sessions is advised, spaced approximately one to two weeks apart.

Improvements in the skin’s appearance may become noticeable over the course of treatments as the skin responds to the procedure. Many clients describe their skin as appearing smoother, firmer, and more refined following a treatment series.

Continued care and maintenance sessions may be recommended to help sustain results over time. Your practitioner will discuss an ongoing treatment plan that best supports your individual skin needs.

What happens after my treatment?

Post treatment, patients can continue their normal daily activities. The skin will appear tighter and slightly red, which generally disappears after a few hours. 

Full aftercare instructions will be provided after the treatment and strict adherence to these is essential to minimise discomfort and to ensure optimal results and healing.

What are the risks of treatment?

Radio-frequency (RF) skin tightening and contouring is considered a low-risk, non-invasive treatment when performed by qualified practitioners. At Youth Lab, all procedures are carried out in accordance with strict safety protocols to help ensure client comfort and minimise downtime.

Following treatment, it is normal for the skin to appear slightly red or warm for a short period. This generally subsides quickly, and most clients can return to normal activities soon after.

As with any energy-based treatment, there is a small risk of temporary redness, swelling, or minor irritation. Your practitioner will carefully assess your skin and treatment settings to minimise potential adverse effects.

A full list of precautions and contraindications will be discussed during your consultation. Radio-frequency treatments are not suitable for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have implanted metallic or electronic devices (such as pacemakers), current skin inflammation or infection, or certain medical conditions including active cancer, heart disease, or compromised immune function.
