EmbraceRF is a minimally invasive skin-tightening procedure with no incision scars. It uses a combination of two advanced technologies equipped with radiofrequency energy (RF energy). RF energy triggers the body’s natural healing response, which includes new collagen production and remodeling of the deep tissues. The RF technology tightens loose skin on the jawline and neck and removes excess fat under the chin and along the jawline, giving the skin a tighter and more youthful appearance. EmbraceRF can be done in the office under local anesthesia and is a safe, effective treatment for facial rejuvenation. Patients can expect natural-looking results that simply refresh and highlight their unique facial characteristics.
EmbraceRF is a great skin rejuvenation option for patients who are not ready for surgery and those who are not good surgical candidates. Using a combination of FaceTite and Morpheus8, EmbraceRF simultaneously targets superficial concerns and the deep layers of skin. Uneven skin texture, acne scarring, deep lines and wrinkles like nasolabial folds, a double chin, and dull or blemished skin can all be addressed while tightening the skin for a subtle lift. Patients with mild to moderate signs of aging can achieve dramatic improvement in the definition of their lower face and neck areas.
Before EmbraceRF treatment, patients will consult with Dr. Timothy Janiga at our office in Reno, NV. The best candidates are healthy adults who want to address mild to moderate skin laxity and wrinkles. Patients should not have an active skin infection, be losing weight, or be pregnant at the time of treatment. Optimal results are achieved when patients are committed to following all surgical preparation and recovery guidelines. A detailed list of instructions will be provided by Dr. Janiga, and we encourage you to ask any questions you might have to confidently prepare for your cosmetic procedure.
Dr. Timothy Janiga is a board-certified plastic surgeon with over two decades of experience and countless patient success stories. His calm, expert, and meticulous approach has transformed the lives of both cosmetic and reconstruction patients, helping them feel good in their bodies. Dr. Janiga is an expert in all aspects of plastic surgery and specializes in cosmetic facial surgery, body contouring, and breast surgery.
EmbraceRF is the most advanced procedure currently available for non-surgical skin tightening of the face and neck. It uses directional heat for the deep layers of the skin to mold the fat and stimulate collagen and tightening. The procedure is usually performed in the office under local anesthesia. You will have topical numbing placed for about 20 minutes before starting. The topical numbing medication will be removed, and local anesthesia will be placed in the treatment area by Dr. Timothy Janiga.
After you are thoroughly numb, your EmbraceRF procedure will start. Two separate types of radiofrequency devices will be used during your treatment session, a dual approach that is only available with EmbraceRF technology. First, the FaceTite wand will be inserted under the skin to deliver RF heat through a tiny port site to tighten skin and melt stubborn fat cells. Second, focused treatment with Morpheus8 will give you added collagen stimulation and improvement in skin tone and texture. Morpheus8 is a type of RF microneedling that uses tiny needles to deliver RF energy into the surface layers of the skin. Dr. Janiga will treat the lower part of the face, the jawline, jowls, the submental fat pad, and the neck to give you maximum tightening and lower facial fat reduction.
Because this is a minimally invasive procedure, there is less downtime. Recovery usually takes one week, but, depending on your social obligations, you may want to plan for two weeks for most of the swelling and bruising to completely resolve. Most patients have mild discomfort, along with some swelling and bruising, for about one week after their RF treatment, and mild redness that might last a few days. While patients can return to work and light activities within a couple of days after the procedure, strenuous exercise should be avoided for 1-2 weeks.
After your procedure, you will notice immediate tightening of the skin, which will continue to improve over the next few months. If you are looking to have this performed before a big event, we recommend leaving 2-3 weeks for full recovery and results to take effect. Many patients find that their younger-looking skin helps them feel more confident in social settings and at work.
