Radio Frequency (RF) Facial

From £60
From 45 mins

A Radio Frequency (RF) facial is a non-invasive skin-firming treatment that uses controlled warmth to support collagen and improve tone. It is ideal if your skin feels less defined, looks a little tired, or you want a smoother, fresher complexion without needles or recovery time.

More information

What an RF facial can do for your skin

RF energy gently heats the deeper layers of the skin while keeping the surface comfortable. The aim is to support collagen and elastin for gradual, natural-looking improvement.

  • Helps improve firmness and skin tone
  • Softens the look of fine lines and crepiness
  • Enhances facial contours, especially jawline and cheeks
  • Improves the look of enlarged pores and uneven texture
  • Boosts glow for a healthier-looking finish

Who this treatment suits best

This facial is a strong option if you are noticing early to moderate loss of firmness, or if your makeup is sitting differently due to texture changes. It also suits those who prefer results that build steadily and still look like you.

You may like an RF facial if you:

  • want to look more refreshed for work, events, or holidays
  • are maintaining results from other skin treatments
  • prefer a non-invasive approach with minimal disruption to your day

What to expect during your appointment

Your therapist will talk through your skin goals and check suitability before starting. The skin is cleansed, and a conductive gel is applied before the RF handset is worked across the face in sections.

Most clients describe a pleasant warmth. Allow around an hour, depending on the areas treated and your skin needs.

Aftercare and results

Your skin may look a little flushed straight after, but this usually settles quickly. Results are often progressive, with the best improvement seen after a course and regular maintenance.

To support your outcome, you will be advised to:

  • keep skin hydrated
  • wear daily SPF
  • avoid intense heat and vigorous exercise for the rest of the day if you are prone to redness

Frequently Asked Questions

Does an RF facial hurt?
Most people find it comfortable and warming rather than painful. Your therapist will adjust settings to suit your skin and sensitivity. You should never feel sharp heat or burning.
How many RF facials will I need?
Many clients notice a fresher look after one session, with firmer results building over time. A course is usually recommended for the best improvement, followed by maintenance sessions. Your therapist will suggest a plan based on your skin.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
Downtime is minimal. You may have mild redness or warmth straight after, which typically settles the same day. Most people return to normal activities immediately.
Who should avoid radio frequency treatments?
RF is not suitable if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker, or certain metal implants in the treatment area. It may also be postponed if you have active skin infection, broken skin, or significant irritation. A consultation will confirm what is safe for you.
Can I combine RF with other facials or treatments?
Yes, RF can work well alongside other skin treatments, but timing matters. Your therapist can recommend pairings that support hydration and barrier health, and advise spacing around stronger peels or injectables. Always share your current routine and recent treatments.
