Radio Frequency Treatment
What is radio frequency treatment?
Radio frequency treatment uses radio frequency energy to penetrate the layers of the skin to treat various skin conditions like acne, sagging skin, and body fat elimination.
How we do radio frequency treatments
For sagging skin, radio frequency treatments can stimulate collagen production from within our skin, and help in tightening the skin to get rid of sagging skin.
Using radio frequency energy, this treatment heats our body tissues and break down fat via the vibration of radio waves, and at the same time tightening our skin on the surface, too.
Radio frequency can also help to eliminate our body fat tissue effectively.
In treating acne and acne scars, radiofrequency energy is used to penetrate the layers of the skin, particularly where the acne scarring starts from.
Through heating of the radiofrequency, collagen production is stimulated for the resurfacing of the facial skin with acne scars.
What to watch out for
Radio frequency treatment is also a newer type of treatment that doesn't use lasers on the skin, and is useful for depressed and pseudo-scars, which is why it is a popular treatment requested at Peter Ch’ng Clinic, with the treatments done by the safe hands of Dr Peter Ch’ng and Dr Loo, safety and effectiveness are assured.
Getting a radio frequency treatment done by untrained hands or unverified professionals may not only result in ineffective results, but also side effects like injuries or skin damage, so make sure you get a consultation and treatment from a verified skin specialist doctor or clinic!

This treatment can treat the following conditions:
Sagging Skin (Face)
Sagging skin can be caused by genetics, skin damage from sunlight, lifestyle habits like smoking and alcohol consumption, and a lack of skin care. Of course, sagging skin can be treated with medical procedures and also anti-aging steps and efforts.
Sagging Skin (Body)
As we age, the collagen in our body is lost, causing loose skin on parts of our body. A sudden loss of weight within a short period of time can also lead to sagging skin on our arms, tummy, thighs, and buttocks. There are treatments available to help us get rid of sagging skin on our body. You can either opt for a skin tightening treatment, or a body contouring treatment.
Excessive Body Fats and Cellulites
Not all body fats can be lost through diet and exercise alone. These stubborn body fats that refuses to go away are usually subcutaneous fats, which are storage fats. Some common areas where you would find stubborn fat are your tummy, thighs, underarms, or your chin (double chin). Consequently, you may have cellulites, the uneven dimpled skin found on these body parts with high fat content. Cellulites are difficult to be treated without proper medical treatments.
Acne and Acne Scars
Depending on your skin type, the type of acne or pimple you have can be different. And if not treated well, these acne may lead to acne scars. Acne and acne scars are usually long term problems, and requires regular management and maintenance during the recovery period.
