RF - lifting or laser infrared thermolifting - how to figure out which is better?
Most modern hardware rejuvenation technologies are based on the effects of radio waves or lasers. All these techniques are called thermolifting and “work” in approximately the same way - they heat the skin layers, triggering the production of new collagen.
For a beginner, the sophisticated names of numerous procedures in this series sound the same. In fact, how can you figure out what the difference is between RF lifting and thermolifting using lasers? And what is better, infrared fractional thermolifting with the Palomar laser or Fraxel dermal optical thermolysis?
New technologies for preserving youth are so diverse that it is impossible to do without special education or “your own” cosmetologist.
Laser skin rejuvenation.
At Platinental we have collected almost all modern methods of non-surgical rejuvenation. We work closely with each one, we know their advantages and disadvantages, and we always draw up an individual treatment plan for our patients. After all, couperose skin at 35 and excess skin at 45 require a different approach.
Meanwhile, RF thermal lifting Reaction has a number of advantages, and they are significant.
RF lifting ReAction
RF lifting (also called radio wave thermolifting or radio frequency lifting) is one of the latest technologies in modern hardware cosmetology. The radio wave lifting method allows you to tighten the skin without incisions, pain and long-term rehabilitation, get rid of wrinkles and fat deposits, and make the oval of the face or body contours clearer.

The latest Israeli RF lifting technique using the ReAction device is one of the best hardware in modern anti-age cosmetology. The safety and high effectiveness of this method have made ReAction radio wave thermolifting the most popular procedure among patients of the best clinics in Europe and the USA (RF lifting technology on the ReAction device is officially approved by the American FDA).
Reaction 5: the impact is deeper, the effect is more obvious
Most of these techniques work on the superficial layers of the skin. Reaction heats three layers at once, triggering collagen production at a deep level. The effect of the procedure increases over several months and then persists for a long time.
Second plus
deeper impact of Reaction: it is less traumatic for the surface layer of the skin.
This means that you will leave the session radiant and rejuvenated, and not red and swollen
.
Third plus
: CORE technology allows flexible control of exposure temperature. Which negates the possibility of adverse effects of radio wave thermolifting - for example, a continuous subcutaneous scar that occurs due to tissue overheating.
And finally, the fourth advantage
technology – exceptionally painless sensations of internal warmth during the procedure.
Expert comment:
Thermolifting “awakens” collagen, starting the process of natural restoration and rejuvenation of the skin.
And if you combine deep thermal lifting Reaction
, rejuvenation with Silhouette Lift threads and facial reinforcement Radiesse - in fact, this procedure
can become a safe and effective alternative to surgical lifting
.
The fundamental difference between the Reaction technique and, for example, fractional (point) lasers is that they work with the surface layer of the skin and only a little with the dermis itself. During the RF procedure, deep
thermolifting, affecting not only the dermis itself, but even the subcutaneous fatty tissue.
The laser evens out the relief, removes pigment, blurs scars, and RF, due to its deeper impact, also melts fat. Therefore, thermolifting of the body can be considered, perhaps, as one of the few analogues of liposuction.
To achieve a 3D effect, you can combine radio wave thermolifting of the face with other techniques. For example, with the same lasers that give the skin porcelain smoothness. Or use deep ultrasonic facial lifting for an intensive tightening.

Review:
“I’m 45. I came to the clinic with the problem of an “apron” on my stomach. Platinental recommended me Reaction thermolifting. They showed “before” and “after” photos of those who had the procedure done.
What I saw inspired me, and I completed 6 sessions. The effect after the course was like losing weight. Only more durable. And the skin on my stomach became as elastic as my daughter’s.
Many thanks to Elmira Baltacheeva! She was able to show me that age is not a barrier to real beauty!

Fractional RF rejuvenation Viora V20
In modern cosmetology, traditional methods of skin resurfacing/rejuvenation are chemical peels, dermabrasion and ablative lasers, resulting in the removal of the epidermis and damage to the dermis, which leads to restructuring of the dermal extracellular matrix.
An alternative to such procedures are fractional RF systems that spare the epidermis. Such methods have fewer complications after exposure and a shorter recovery period.
Today, a new generation of fractional radiofrequency devices has emerged that are most suitable for rejuvenation and therapeutic effects on sensitive areas such as the neck, décolleté and hands. All this is thanks to the new patented technology that has emerged, which is a combination of mechanisms: switching - vacuum - cooling - SVC. It improves clinical results, increases safety and increases the comfort of procedures for the patient, leaving other existing fractional systems far behind.

At the OLIVIA Aesthetic Medicine Center they use exactly this, the latest patented RF technology on the VIORA V20 device. This technology is a minimally invasive system that delivers bipolar RF energy through a device, damaging the structure of the epidermis, but not affecting the surrounding skin.
The damage created stimulates healing processes that lead to dermal remodeling.
V-FR (SVC™) on the VIORA V 20 is a new generation of fractional RF for resurfacing, rejuvenation, post-acne treatment, uses innovative patented SVC ™ (switching-vacuum-cooling) technology, which provides unprecedented control of penetration depth and allows you to determine the desired result . 3 technologies included: ablative, non-ablative, combined. Apply to face and body.
Result:
- skin rejuvenation
- improved skin tone and texture
- improvement of complexion
- smoothing expression lines and deep wrinkles
- reduction of pigmentation
- relief improvement
- correction of scars and post-acne scars
- skin restoration
Impact stages:
- Heating the target tissue
- Controlling the penetration depth of radio frequency energy
- Combination of vacuum and cooling switching mechanisms. Vacuum – makes the procedure mechanism more convenient and precise, providing:
- proper adhesion of the electrodes to the skin, which minimizes the risk of epidermal burns;
- reduction of pain due to mechanical effects on tissue
- more uniform and symmetrical points of tissue damage when the skin is pulled.
SKIN CONDITION IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE PROCEDURE
Mesh of damage caused 4 days after the procedure using new technology (human skin).
Cosmetologists at the OLIVIA Aesthetic Medicine Center usually recommend combining ablative and non-ablative fractional photothermolysis. Especially for people with problem skin. When these procedures are combined, all layers of the skin that need correction are exposed to the positive effects of the laser.
This procedure solves all aesthetic problems!
Minimally invasive fractional RF systems:
- no complications after the procedure
- The recovery period after such procedures is shorter compared to traditional skin resurfacing methods.
- Procedures using fractional RF devices using new technology allow you to choose the depth of penetration of radiofrequency energy, select the level of fractional radiofrequency energy, and increase the safety and patient tolerance of procedures. All this thanks to various combinations of vacuum switching and cooling mechanisms - SVC technology.
How is the RF lifting procedure performed?
The RF lifting procedure is non-traumatic and absolutely painless. A special gel is applied to clean skin, after which the treatment of problem areas is carried out along certain lines using special attachments. In total, several attachments are used, which differ depending on the purposes and areas of influence.
RF lifting is carried out in courses of 3-6 procedures. One procedure takes from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the area of the treated area. The lifting effect becomes noticeable after the first session and increases, firstly, due to the direct thermal RF effect on the tissue, and secondly, due to the launch of active processes of restructuring and restoration of the cellular structure of the skin.
Our clinic’s specialists will be happy to advise you on any questions regarding cosmetic procedures. And if it turns out that plastic surgery is needed to solve your problem, we will invite a plastic surgeon to your consultation and together we will find the most effective but gentle solution.
Indications for use of RF lifting
Radiofrequency lifting using the ReAction device significantly reduces skin that has lost its elasticity and is able to solve such serious problems without surgery that until recently only plastic surgery could cope with:
- Upper face lift: eyebrow lifting, rejuvenation of the eye area and elimination of the problem of sagging upper eyelid;
- Mid-face lifting: smoothing pronounced nasolabial folds and deep expression wrinkles;
- Lifting of the lower part of the face and chin: formation of a clear oval face, reduction of the “double chin”;
- Eliminates wrinkles, evens out skin texture, making it smoother;
- Eliminates local fat deposits;
- In parallel, RF lifting allows you to influence the skin, working in the field of traditional cosmetology:
- Increases skin elasticity and tone;
- Reduces enlarged pores, eliminates visible vascular pattern;
- Eliminates the appearance of cellulite.
