Quick answer
What Is RF Lifting?
RF lifting is a non-surgical treatment that delivers radiofrequency (RF) electrical energy into the skin, where tissue resistance turns it into heat. The heat contracts existing collagen fibres and triggers the skin to produce new collagen and elastin over the following weeks.
Not all RF devices behave the same. Monopolar RF(Thermage FLX, Oligio) spreads heat evenly through the dermis for overall firmness. Fractional RF(Opus) delivers energy in tiny dots to refresh texture, while 10 Therma offers RF tightening at a gentler price point. InMode FX is an RF-based applicator used mainly to contour small fat pockets.
At BLS Clinic Main Branch, the doctor considers your skin thickness, laxity and texture concerns before choosing one RF device or pairing RF with ultrasound, such as Ultherapy.

Does RF lifting hurt?
RF lifting usually feels like short bursts of heat, and most devices use built-in cooling. Numbing cream can be applied, and the doctor can adjust energy levels for comfort.
How many RF lifting sessions do I need?
Monopolar RF such as Thermage FLX is often done as a single session, repeated about once a year. Gentler RF options and fractional RF are usually planned as a short series; the doctor will suggest a schedule for your skin.
RF lifting vs HIFU: which is better?
