    Glossary Radiofrequency

    electromagnetic waves used in medical treatments for skin and hair

    Radiofrequency (RF) refers to a type of electromagnetic wave typically ranging from 3 kHz to 300 GHz. In medical and cosmetic applications, RF energy is often used for treatments like skin tightening, fat reduction, and hair removal, as it can penetrate the skin to heat tissues and stimulate collagen production or destroy hair follicles.
