RF Skin Tightening for the Body
Firm, smooth and tone targeted areas with non-invasive radiofrequency
Radiofrequency (RF) Skin Tightening for the Body at Blissimo
Radiofrequency (RF) skin tightening is a non-invasive treatment designed to improve skin firmness, tone and texture on the body. By delivering controlled heat into the deeper layers of the skin, RF stimulates collagen and elastin production, supporting the skin’s natural tightening and repair processes.
At Blissimo, RF treatments for the body are carefully tailored to the area being treated and your individual goals. Whether you’re looking to improve skin laxity, smooth uneven texture, or enhance overall tone, treatments are guided by professional assessment rather than one-size-fits-all protocols.
RF Skin Tightening Treatments & Prices
Fractional RF Skin Tightening Treatments & Prices
Fractional RF delivers targeted energy deeper into the skin to support more intensive tightening and texture improvement.
For long-lasting results, a course of six treatments is recommended, typically performed twice weekly, followed by maintenance sessions every 4–6 weeks. Courses and treatment plans can be discussed during consultation.
Standard RF vs Fractional RF – What’s the Difference?
Standard radiofrequency gently heats the skin to stimulate collagen and improve firmness. It’s ideal for mild to moderate skin laxity and ongoing maintenance.
Fractional radiofrequency, using advanced technology such as the Zemits CrystalFrax Pro, delivers energy in precise micro-zones within the skin. This allows treatment to reach deeper layers and stimulates a more intensive regenerative response.
Fractional RF is designed to:
- Improve more advanced skin laxity
- Support visible skin remodelling
- Enhance texture, tone, and firmness
- Treat areas where the results from standard RF may be limited
Because fractional RF works deeper within the skin and uses more advanced technology, it is priced higher than standard RF treatments.
How Radiofrequency Skin Tightening Works
Radiofrequency technology gently heats the deeper layers of the skin while keeping the surface comfortable. This controlled heat stimulates collagen and elastin fibres, encouraging the skin to tighten and improve in texture over time.
As collagen production increases, the skin gradually becomes firmer, smoother, and more toned. Results develop progressively, making RF an effective option for those seeking natural-looking improvements without invasive procedures.
How Many RF Treatments Will I Need?
Some clients notice an immediate tightening effect after their first session.
For optimal and longer-lasting results, a course of 6 to 8 treatments is recommended. Treatments are typically carried out once a week or as advised during consultation.
Maintenance sessions may be recommended to help sustain results over time.
What Results Can I Expect?
RF Skin Tightening may help to:
- Improve skin firmness and overall tone
- Smooth uneven, crepey, or lax skin texture
- Enhance skin elasticity and resilience
- Support gradual, natural-looking tightening without injectables
- Encourage collagen and elastin production within the deeper layers of the skin
- Improve the appearance of skin quality over time
Results often begin to feel noticeable shortly after treatment, with visible improvements continuing to develop over the following weeks as collagen production increases.
For clients undergoing fractional radiofrequency, results may be more pronounced and longer-lasting due to deeper, more targeted skin stimulation and regenerative support.
Your suitability, treatment type, and expected outcomes will always be discussed during consultation to ensure the most appropriate approach for your skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Every treatment at Blissimo is fully explained before you begin. Below are answers to the most common questions about radiofrequency skin tightening.
What is radiofrequency skin tightening?
Radiofrequency skin tightening is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled heat to stimulate collagen and elastin production within the skin.
As we age, collagen levels naturally decline, leading to reduced firmness, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. Radiofrequency helps encourage the skin’s natural repair processes, resulting in skin that appears firmer, smoother, and more toned over time.
It is often chosen by clients who want visible skin tightening and rejuvenation without injectables or invasive procedures.
What areas can be treated with radiofrequency?
Radiofrequency can be used on both the face and body. Common treatment areas include:
- Arms
- Stomach/Tummy
- Bottom
- Thighs
- Knees
- Hips
- Scars and stretch marks
Your treatment areas will be discussed during consultation to ensure suitability and the best possible results.
What happens during a radiofrequency treatment?
The treatment area is cleansed, and a conductive gel is applied to the skin. A specialised ceramic handpiece is then moved continuously over the area, delivering controlled radiofrequency energy.
This gently heats the deeper layers of the skin while keeping the surface comfortable, stimulating collagen production and improving skin firmness.
What does radiofrequency treatment feel like?
Most clients describe the sensation as warm and relaxing, similar to a hot stone massage.
The temperature is gradually increased during the treatment to ensure comfort while achieving effective results. The heat and intensity are always adjusted to suit you.
Is radiofrequency safe for all skin types?
Yes. Radiofrequency is suitable for all skin types and skin tones and can be safely used on both the face and body when performed correctly.
Your suitability will always be confirmed during consultation.
Are there any side effects?
Radiofrequency is very well tolerated. After treatment, you may experience:
- Mild redness
- A feeling of tightness or warmth
These effects are temporary and usually settle within 24 to 36 hours. You’ll be advised to stay well hydrated and use a good moisturiser following your treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
Many clients notice an immediate improvement after their first session.
For best and longer-lasting results, a course of six treatments is recommended. These can be carried out:
- Once a week for six weeks, or
- Twice a week for three weeks
To maintain results, a single maintenance session every 4 to 6 weeks is advised. Some clients choose to repeat a full course after around two years.
How quickly will I see results?
You may notice visible skin tightening immediately after treatment due to the tightening of elastin fibres.
Collagen production continues to increase over the following weeks, with results continuing to improve for up to three months after completing a course.
How long do results last?
With a completed course and regular maintenance, results can last up to two years, depending on skin condition, lifestyle, and ongoing care.
Is radiofrequency treatment painful?
No. Radiofrequency is not painful.
The heat level is carefully controlled and adjusted throughout the treatment to remain comfortable while still delivering effective results.
