I am 61 and do want to tighten up my turtle neck, chin. Surgery and UltraShape or Ultherapy is not what I want. And how many treatments would I need to make a visible difference. I am well aware that RF can not achieve surgery results. I would like to have it done as fast as possible. And what can happen if I don't leave enough time between treatments?

Answer: Non-Invasive Skin Tightening Thanks for your question and posting picture. Radio Frequency (RF) skin tightening is a great non-invasive treatment that is safe all areas, even around your eyes and under your chin. Bulk RF heating causes some of the existing collagen to collapse, stimulating your body to generate new replacement collagen. This is not a laser so it is safe for all skin types and can be done safely year round. It feels like a warm rock massage. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOWNTIME. Almost all of the other options you mentioned have down time, some very significant. Collagen building takes 90 to 120 days to see the results, so be patient. We recommend 1 treatment per decade. In your 30's, we would suggest a series of 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. You will continue to build collagen for up to 6 months after the last treatment and the collagen lasts 10 - 15 years. Mono-pole RF like Pelleve will drive the heat deeper than multi-pole devices. Best of luck.
