hi I'm dr. Johnny thanks for joining me
for Rosie's quick clip we're talking
today about our F face radiofrequency
energy for the face it can do a couple
of things but mainly tighten the skin
and reduce fat I've had a lot of
questions about does do at-home devices
work what's the best device Ulthera
high frequency ultrasound versus
radiofrequency a lot of people ask that
I'm gonna refer you to an answer on that
today we're gonna watch a little bit of
the treatments I'm gonna show you why
radiofrequency can work well what you
should be looking for in a device or a
procedure let's get started with a
Raji's quick clip in three seconds so
[Music]
remember if you like these videos click
like I have playlists I added one on the
neck and also you can watch my kybella
One or fat dissolving a lot of people
are asking questions with regards to
radiofrequency for skin tightening or
body tightening or fat reduction and I
have a whole playlist on that where you
can just run through and watch fat
dissolving be it the face or body click
like and subscribe to these videos for
continued tips and I'll keep bringing
the videos to you so when we're talking
about radiofrequency energy the first
thing and what got me thinking about
sending this video and putting it up was
at-home devices and with everyone at
home they want to know do radio
frequency devices work at home to
understand that yeah first have to know
what we're trying to treat the two main
things are skin tightening and fat and
when I hear people say the non-surgical
facelift it's a misnomer and people have
videos on you don't need plastic surgery
just get heating what if it's high
frequency ultrasound or radiofrequency
as you can imagine it depends on the
candidate the amount of loose skin and
what's going on but radio frequency
devices are not a substitute for
structurally fixing or structurally
support and lift if you will to the
tissues or a facelift if there's a lot
of loose skin someone's going to need a
facelift what happens if they don't they
say the device doesn't work they ask for
their money back and they go and write a
bad review about it and people see the
reviews I'm not getting that procedure
done I'm not buying that device it
doesn't have to do with the device if
it's in a medical spa or a medical
physician's office where they're buying
a device that works that has enough
energy in enough power and the right
technician if you look at the device
here look at the heads on the device
there's two silver plates the heating
energy the electrical energy jumps
between the both these are bipolar
radiofrequency and with that depending
on the frequency you can go to different
depths so it's tunable but also you need
the right amount of energy to produce
heat what's the temperature 42 41 43
degrees C so you have to and that's
where you go they go oh it's so painful
and they Anna can be if you're trying to
get fat if you're going to the deepest
layers you're going to Jack the
temperature up you're going to turn up
or you're going to do more passes if you
will so does it work home devices often
don't have the energy needed to get the
tissue to the temperature or if some
people need intense treatments the
anesthesia needed that a clinic is going
to provide for you to get there so if
the at-home device did it would work if
the technician was good and in that case
maybe it would be you the technician but
I don't see the devices with enough
energy getting the tissue confluent
meaning not in a zap of miniscule heat
imagine if you just got the half the
heat it wasn't uniform you can get
irregularities a lot of people are gonna
comment I want to see in the comments
they're gonna say hey I had they'll say
oh therapy they'll say Thermage because
that's the the ones they know some type
of radio frequency or high-frequency
ultrasound they'll say I lost my facial
fat
and I've never looked the same how do I
get it back you're gonna see that here
in the comments and so why it's because
too much temperature or too deep or they
someone went in and tried to get a
facelift without having it done and
their technician turned it up went
through more passes and when you think
about cost in general a lot of times
this is a two to seven thousand dollar
procedure to beginning what area what
you're getting done the neck lift would
be a common one average will be two to
$2,500 United States dollars so it's not
a inexpensive procedure when people
expect a lot for two thousand dollars so
the the key factors yes radiofrequency
energy works it works by heating you
gotta get to the right temperature you
have to have the right device you have
to have the right technician and you
need to have the right candidate all
those things have to come into play and
a lot of times it will be what a
combination procedure we're going to add
platelet-rich fibrin maybe hyper dilute
Radiesse PDO threads and a few sessions
of the radiofrequency if someone has to
get it all done in one it's hard to
tailor a treatment to someone who wants
it all at once you might find you're
getting some of the fat removed because
they're increasing the temperatures or
they're being more aggressive so I like
doing it in stages so radiofrequency it
does work what's been your experience
you're like radio frequency high
frequency ultrasound watch my video on
our app versus high frequency ultrasound
and stay tuned here keep your skin and
body beautiful healthy and vibrant
