Facial Radiofrequency · Non-Invasive Skin Tightening
Facial radiofrequency.
Non-invasive RF skin tightening for the face and neck. Heat-driven collagen contraction and gradual remodeling — no surgery, no downtime. Performed by Dr. Cecilia Rusnak’s team in Kissimmee, Florida.
Radiofrequency (RF) treatment uses targeted heat energy to stimulate collagen contraction in the dermis and trigger long-term collagen remodeling. The skin tightens immediately as existing collagen contracts, and continues firming for several months as the body produces new collagen. It is a non-invasive alternative to surgical lift procedures. For a deeper look at how this works, see our radio frequency skin tightening guide.

The Procedure
Targeted heat, collagen contraction.
Dr. Rusnak’s team uses medical-grade RF equipment with controlled depth and temperature monitoring. The handpiece is moved across the treatment area in sweeping passes while the skin is brought to a therapeutic temperature range and held there long enough to trigger collagen response — but not long enough to cause damage to surface skin or surrounding tissues.
Common treatment areas include the lower face, jawline, neck, and brow. Each session is 45–60 minutes. Most patients see immediate tightening from collagen contraction, with continued gradual improvement over the following three months. A series of three to six sessions delivers strongest cumulative results.
What to Expect
Immediate effect, continued remodeling.
Consultation
Assessment of skin laxity, treatment area discussion, and protocol selection. We confirm RF is the right fit and rule out contraindications.
Treatment Session
Each session is 45–60 minutes with no numbing needed — most patients describe the sensation as warm and well-tolerated. No downtime; mild flushing for an hour or two after.
Series & Maintenance
Most patients see best results from a series of 3–6 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Maintenance every 6–12 months keeps the effect.
Who This Procedure Serves
For patients with mild to moderate skin laxity.
RF suits patients with early-to-moderate signs of skin laxity — softened jawline, mild neck laxity, brow heaviness — who want non-surgical firming. Most appropriate for patients who notice the beginning of laxity but aren’t yet at the point where surgical intervention would be more effective.
Not appropriate for patients with pacemakers or other electronic implants, pregnancy, recent fillers in the treatment area, or active skin conditions. Patients with very advanced laxity may be better served by surgical options — Dr. Rusnak will be direct about whether RF is the right fit.
Frequently Asked
Questions, answered.
Does it hurt?
No. Most patients describe the sensation as a comfortable warming. No numbing required. You can resume normal activity immediately afterward.
When will I see results?
Immediate tightening from collagen contraction is visible the same day, with peak immediate effect at 24–48 hours. The deeper effect — new collagen production — builds gradually over the following three months.
How long do results last?
Six to twelve months for a single session; longer when paired with a series. Maintenance every 6–12 months keeps the effect refreshed.
Can I combine RF with other treatments?
Yes — RF pairs well with microneedling/CIT, PRP, and Powder Botox. Dr. Rusnak can build a multi-treatment plan for cumulative skin firming.
Is there any downtime?
None. Mild flushing for an hour or two after treatment, then back to normal. You can apply makeup the same day.

Peptide Renewal Complex
Radiofrequency stimulates collagen synthesis for weeks after your session — Peptide Renewal Complex maximizes that response. Apply nightly to deliver concentrated peptides during the window your skin is most receptive to building new collagen.
Qi Lift Ageless Cream
Qi Lift Ageless Cream is the daily moisturizer we recommend between RF skin-tightening sessions. Its peptide and ceramide blend reinforces the lifting effect of RF and visibly tightens the skin between visits.
Healing Support SPF 40
RF heat-treated skin is more vulnerable to UV-induced pigment changes for several weeks. Healing Support SPF 40 protects your results — apply every morning, reapply mid-day, throughout your RF series.
