Radiofrequency is a cosmetic procedure that utilizes electromagnetic waves to stimulate collagen production and tighten the skin. It's based on the principle that controlled heat can encourage the skin to renew itself. RF technology is FDA and Health Canada approved and has been widely used for various dermatological and cosmetic applications. Some common brand names for radiofrequency based devices are Venus Legacy, Morpheus 8, Thermage, Fractora and Profound.

This allows for smooth, even delivery of the radio frequency energy to ensure a comfortable, and effective treatment. "No pain, no gain" doesn't apply here.
