I keep reading how unlikely it is to see good results from radio frequency treatments. I saw this video, showing a pretty decent looking improvement, after even only one, 15 minute treatment. Which also begs me the question, why do they always seem to try to sell you a 'package' of at least 10 treatments if they aren't maybe needed? Ty.

Answer: Double Chin Rx Unfortunately you did not submit pictures. If your double chin is related to excess fat then I would recommend Coolsculpting. It permanently removes unwanted fat and has no downtime. It usually takes 2 treatments about 6 weeks apart. Another option is Kybella. RF would be a recommendation if you have loose skin. It is also in most cases non invasive but some devices are quite painful. As to number of recommended treatments, 10 treatments sounds a little aggressive. Get a second opinion.

Answer: Tightening with Radiofrequency There are a number of ways to tighten the skin with radiofrequency that have been shown to work well. The first is Thermage which requires one treatment initially and has no downtime. If your skin is not as tight as you would like it, you may repeat the treatment in four to six months for additional results. Another radiofrequency device that tightens skin with one treatment is the Profound. This device will produce more tightening, but has downtime of four to five days of swelling and some bruising as well. Devices that do not heat the skin as much may also tighten and these are usually done in a series of treatments. These include SkinTyte and GentleLift, both of which are lasers and not radiofrequency devices. The secret to tightening with any of these devices is the amount of heating that they cause in the dermis.
