Abstract
Although radiofrequency has been used frequently to treat indications such as varicose veins and ablate heart tissue, there has been an increased level of interest in this treatment modality following its use in non-surgical cosmetic procedures. The use of radiofrequency devices in aesthetic clinics has led to many benefits for clients, including skin tightening and the reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks and cellulite. In this article, the author describes how radiofrequency works, how it is controlled using different heads, what the most popular treatment indications are, and the contraindications aesthetic nurses should be aware of before providing radiofrequency procedures.
