Radiofrequency treatment at minimal med uses controlled thermal energy to stimulate collagen fibres in the dermis to contract while simultaneously promoting new collagen synthesis. Without needles, without downtime — a non-invasive approach for patients who desire gentle tightening and seek an entry into aesthetic medicine.

How the Treatment Works
1
Consultation: We discuss your goals and the areas to be treated.
2
Preparation: The skin is cleansed and a contact gel is applied.
3
Treatment: The radiofrequency device is guided over the skin (30-60 minutes).
4
Aftercare: Slight redness possible, but no downtime.
5
Series: 4-6 sessions at 1-2 week intervals recommended.
The Thermal Principle
How radiofrequency energy warms the dermis and stimulates collagen fibres to contract. The difference from ultrasound and laser. Why controlled temperature is crucial (42-45°C for optimal stimulation without tissue damage).
Indications and Honest Limits
For whom radiofrequency is ideal: mild to moderate skin laxity, prevention, skin quality improvement. Where the limits lie: advanced ptosis requires other measures. Transparent advice on realistic results.
The Gentle Entry
Radiofrequency is, for me, the perfect entry into aesthetic medicine: non-invasive, painless, without downtime. It's the gentlest way to help the skin regain firmness.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does radiofrequency work?
Radiofrequency waves generate controlled heat in the deeper skin layers. This heat stimulates connective tissue precursor cells to form new collagen and leads to tightening of existing collagen fibers.
Is the treatment painful?
No, most people find it pleasantly warm, like a hot stone massage. The temperature is constantly controlled to ensure comfort.
Which areas can be treated?
Face (especially cheeks, jawline, eye area), neck, decollete, but also body (abdomen, thighs, upper arms). Anywhere skin tightening is desired.
How is RF different from ultrasound?
Radiofrequency works with heat and acts in the middle skin layers. Ultrasound (like Ultherapy) works deeper and can also reach the SMAS layer. Both can be combined.
Can I combine RF with other treatments?
Yes, radiofrequency complements injections like Profhilo or Skinboosters excellently. The combination enhances the results.
How much does a radiofrequency treatment cost?
A session starts from 499 EUR, depending on the treated area. When booking a series, we offer package prices.
