How it works
Loose and sagging skin can result from significant weight loss or pregnancy as well as biological factors such as age and genetics. As we get older, the skin naturally loses its elasticity and firmness. Rather than bouncing back into shape, it can remain slack and inelastic. This is due to the natural loss of collagen and elastin over time, as, without these naturally-occurring proteins, the skin’s connective tissues lose their strength and flexibility.
Radio frequency skin tightening treatments are a convenient and non-invasive solution to this common skin concern. The device works by transmitting energy to a precise depth under the skin, producing thermal effects without causing ablative thermal damage. The heat causes fibres within the skin to contract, triggering the skin to produce healing responses and activating the production of new collagen and elastin. It also improves blood and lymphatic flow to the area, which promotes healthy oxygenation.
The result of Venus Diamond Polar treatment is skin that feels tighter and firmer, giving you a healthy and youthful glow. The customisable nature of the treatment means it can be focused on specific areas to help you achieve your desired skin firmness.

Reduce Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Other benefits include:
- Reduction of facial sagging
- Stimulation of collagen remodelling

Ideal candidates for radio frequency
Radio frequency skin tightening can be ideal for a wide variety of individuals. It is generally best suited for people who are seeking a non-invasive and gentle skin tightening procedure to improve skin laxity and revitalise their appearance. If you are concerned about skin sagging or wrinkling associated with aging, weight loss, hormonal changes, or pregnancy, you may be an ideal candidate.
The treatment can be suitable for both young and mature individuals. For safety reasons, some people may not be able to undergo the treatment. This may include those who:
- Are prone to irritation or inflammation
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have skin-related autoimmune diseases
- Have illnesses that are triggered or irritated by heat
Your suitability for the procedure will be discussed during a preliminary consultation. The discussion will clear up any confusion as well as establish the best approach to treating your skin concerns and achieving your individual goals.
What to expect
After a treatment plan has been developed to suit your personal skin goals and requirements, the procedure itself will usually take around 30 minutes. Application of tanning, makeup, or perfume products should be avoided beforehand in preparation for treatment.
The radio frequency applicator will be moved over the skin to administer thermal energy at a precise temperature. You may feel some warmth as the device transmits the thermal heat. However, the process is virtually painless, and any discomfort experienced is typically minimal. Many patients find the sensation comfortable and even therapeutic.
Radio frequency treatment produces quick results, and patients should start to see visual and textural improvements after their first session. Results are culmulative, which means continual improvement will ensue over the next few months as collagen and elastin fibres regenerate.
Things to consider
After the procedure, the treated skin may feel hot and flushed due to heightened blood flow in the area. This should fade within a few hours, leaving your skin feeling firmer and more vibrant. No downtime is required, so you can return to your daily routine and activities as normal.
It is recommended that you do not apply any ice or cooling to the area, as this can interfere with the body’s natural healing response to the treatment.
