Radiofrequency (RF) treatment – suitable for home use

How does RF treatment work?

RF technology delivers electromagnetic waves into the deeper layers of the skin, where the tissues warm up. This heat effect causes immediate collagen contraction and, over time, stimulates natural collagen production. That means cellular metabolism increases, circulation improves, and the skin's firmness and tone are enhanced. The result: younger-looking, firmer skin.

What effects can you expect?

On the face it can help reduce fine and deeper wrinkles, firm the areas around the mouth and eyes, and improve overall facial tone.

On the body — for example on the thighs or abdomen — it can help tighten sagging skin, reduce the appearance of cellulite, or even fade scars.

Although results are not immediate, regular use can visibly renew the skin.

What does a treatment involve?

Always start by thoroughly cleansing the skin — the device should only be used on clean, dry skin to be safe.

Then apply a special conductive cream that helps the energy pass through and moisturizes the skin.

Move the treatment head slowly in circular motions over the skin — the device will beep to warn you if it stays on one spot too long, helping you avoid overheating.

Programs typically last 10–20 minutes, and treating an area about the size of a palm usually gives ideal results.

For the face, divide it into zones — for example treat the forehead, eye area, cheeks separately — and make sure each area gets the necessary time.

After treatment the skin may be slightly flushed or feel warmer — this is natural and subsides quickly.

One treatment is not enough

It's important to know that you should not expect dramatic, lasting results from a single RF session. The technology stimulates collagen synthesis, and that takes time.

Clinical experience suggests 3–4, or even 5–6 sessions are needed for collagen remodeling to begin, meaning you can start to notice measurable changes in your skin after that.

Lasting, visible effects are achieved only if treatments are repeated as a course and performed regularly.

At a beauty salon the process is usually started by purchasing a multi-session course, but that alone still may not be enough for long-term results.

This is where the real advantage of owning your own device lies: you can continue stimulating collagen production for months on end at times that suit your schedule, not just when the salon has an available appointment.

Although the device is a larger one-time purchase, in the long run it can be much more economical — if you want lasting results, you could pay more in a few months at a salon than the device costs.

Safety and home usability

Globus RF devices are specifically designed for home use.

The included user manual specifies the settings, treatment times and movements in detail. If you follow these, treatments can be safe and effective at home.

However, RF treatment is not recommended in some cases: for example with a pacemaker, large metal prostheses, active skin disease or infection, or a recent injury. Pregnant women should avoid the abdominal area and nearby regions, and treatment should also be avoided in cases of inflammatory skin conditions.

What side effects may occur?

Since RF treatment does not break the skin surface, side effects are rare and mild: transient redness, slight warmth or flushing may occur. These disappear quickly.

If you use the device according to the instructions — always keeping the head moving and using the cream — you should not expect complications.

Buying a device vs. paying treatment fees

If you look more closely at the costs of radiofrequency treatment, you'll quickly see they can be substantial. At a beauty salon a single facial treatment can start from 8,000–10,000 forints, but this usually applies to the face. If you want to treat larger body areas — for example the abdomen, thighs or arms — the price per session can climb up to 50,000 forints.

The real results require more than one or two sessions: you typically need at least two to three full courses, which amount to 10–20 treatments. If you do the math, this can mean several hundred thousand forints in a single season.

And that's not the end: without maintenance treatments the improved collagen condition will not remain forever — it will gradually return to pre-treatment levels within a few months.

Buying your own radiofrequency device is a larger one-time investment, but then you can use it at home for years, whenever you feel the need. You don't have to adapt to a salon's schedule, you can perform treatments at times that suit your routine, and in the long term you can ensure continuous firming and younger-looking skin at a far more favorable cost.

Product recommendation

If you're serious about at-home radiofrequency treatment, consider acquiring Globus RF devices, which are made specifically for home use yet offer genuine professional effectiveness.

The RF Clinic Body model offers four face programs and six full-body treatment programs and comes with one RF100 treatment head.

The RF Clinic Pro model has a broader range: seven face, thirteen body and ten cellulite treatment programs, and it comes with two treatment heads (RF100 and RF500). This model can even hold its own in a beauty salon.

Both devices are scientifically designed to help collagen fibers contract and to initiate new collagen production, providing firmer, more toned skin in the long term — comfortably at home.

Summary

RF treatment is a modern, painless option for at-home skincare. It can help firm the skin, reduce wrinkles and improve skin tone. Effects develop gradually, and lasting results require a consistent course of multiple treatments.

The key to success is consistency, following the instructions and having realistic expectations: RF treatment is not an instant miracle, but a technology that leads to gradual, noticeable results.
