Fractional Radio Frequency Skin Rejuvenation
Mariposa Transformation Wellness Center can help you embark on a skincare journey with a Fractional Radio Frequency Skin Rejuvenation Treatment. A Fractional RF Skin Treatment is completed without Needles (unlike RF Microneedling with Needles). This treatment modality is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to rejuvenate and tighten the skin without puncturing or breaking the surface of the skin
❓ How It Works
- The treatment uses a Fractional RF device that emits radiofrequency energy through a specially designed applicator
- RF energy penetrates the skin layers to heat the underlying tissues
- This heat stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for firm, smooth and youthful-looking skin
- The “Fractional” part means that energy is delivered in a grid-like pattern, leaving untreated zones between treated ones to promote faster healing and better results
