How often can you have radiofrequency skin tightening on the stomach, thighs, face or any other body area?

With any strong, effective body treatment, it is good to leave one or more days between sessions in order to allow for the skin to recover.

So with a deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency treatment, you must leave at least one or two days between sessions, depending on how intense or safe the specific treatment is.

• Less intense / more safe treatments require just one day between sessions

• More intense or less safe treatments need two days

• Some very unsafe (and still not that effective) treatments, that work by first burning the skin inside with the hope that it will later recover and be stronger, may require up to 3 months between sessions

Never do daily RF treatments

You should never do daily treatments:

• If treatment is too weak/light to allow for daily sessions, it’s not effective either, so you are wasting time and or money. This is the case with low power machines at many salons and clinics - even at expensive clinics

• If treatment is strong enough to be effective and you have daily sessions, you will end up with irritation, burn or injury. So don’t do it. For such treatments, leave a gap of 1 or more days between sessions.

You always need some time between sessions to allow the body to recover, adapt and rebuild itself. Not allowing at least one day off between sessions is exactly the same as having a “leg day” at the gym every single day. As every gym goer know, such a thing is just plain stupid.

So in all cases, with light or strong treatments, daily treatment frequency is pointless.

Radiofrequency: 1-15 days between sessions

So, in summary:

• For a treatment that is worth having, ideally leave 1-7 days ideally between sessions

• You can allow up to a maximum of 15 days between sessions

• With treatment every 3, 4 or more weeks, efficacy decreases fast. Such treatment frequency is only suited to prevention or maintenance, not improvement.

Extremely high intensity RF

As discussed above, with destructive RF, i.e. RF that aims to burn your skin from inside to hopefully become tighter later (good luck with that…) and that requires the use of anaesthetic cream, you must allow 3-6 months between sessions.

However, such an approach is problematic as it produces frequent adverse reactions for the meagre results it produces, so we do not recommend such treatments at all.

How often can I do radio frequency on my face, stomach or thighs at home? Can I use portable RF everyday?

Home RF machines are by definition extremely weak, in order to protect the public from itself.

If a company sold a proper, strong RF machine to the general public, there would be injuries and burns within days from overzealous people who want to apply RF every day or for long treatment durations at maximum intensity, in order to achieve “faster results” (believe me, there are millions of obsessed people out there).

However, if one uses proper RF at too high intensity / too often, instead of faster results you will just have injury.

So government regulations do not allow for home use anything more than toy levels of RF power, making such “portable RF” or “home RF” machines almost useless.

Furthermore, even if such regulations did not exist, no company would risk lawsuits within weeks of putting such a product on the market, from overeager customers.

So there is no such thing as a good home-use RF machine.

In summary, using an RF machine (weak or strong, professional or home-use), every day, more than once a day or too intensively (e.g. on a small area of skin for a protracted period of time) is not advised, for both safety and effectiveness reasons.

The best advice is, go to a reputable therapist at a reputable clinic and have a professional treatment with a gap of 1-15 days between sessions. You will have much better results and you will not waste time money on useless gadgets.
