RF Skin Tightening (Viora / Relift)

Radiofrequency skin tightening using the Viora and Relift platforms to lift and firm the face, neck, and body without surgery. RF energy heats the deep dermis to stimulate new collagen production, reducing laxity across the full face, jowls, brow, neck, and body areas including the arms, stomach, and legs. Sessions run forty-five to ninety minutes depending on areas covered. No downtime — suitable for all skin types.

Radiofrequency skin tightening at Aesthetics by Melanie uses the Viora and Relift energy platforms to deliver controlled RF heat into the deep dermis and subdermal tissue layers, triggering a thermal remodelling response that results in progressive collagen contraction and new collagen synthesis. RF energy works by oscillating charged tissue molecules at radiofrequency rates, generating resistive heat in the tissue proportional to the local resistance encountered — the dermis and fibroseptal network that underlies skin laxity are particularly effective absorbers, making RF well suited to non-surgical lifting without relying on chromophore absorption. The immediate thermal contraction of existing collagen fibres produces a mild tightening effect within the session, while the subsequent wound-healing cascade — fibroblast recruitment, cytokine signalling, and de novo collagen and elastin fibre formation — builds the longer-term improvement that becomes visible over four to twelve weeks post-treatment. At Aesthetics by Melanie, facial RF treatments are organised by zone: the full face, full face and neck combo, eyes and forehead, lower face and jowls, and the neck as a standalone. Body RF treatments using the Viora platform address the arms, stomach, booty lift, and legs, making it possible to create a combined face-and-body tightening programme tailored to individual laxity concerns. The Relift variant is offered for both face and body, with thirty-minute sessions per zone. The Viora arms, stomach, and leg protocols run thirty to forty-five minutes each. As an entirely non-invasive treatment with no needles or anaesthesia required, there is no downtime — mild warmth in treated areas fades within hours. Results develop progressively and a course of three to six sessions spaced two to four weeks apart is typically recommended for sustained lift and firmness.
