Skin tightening technologies: radiofrequency and infrared to stimulate the skin

Skin tightening technologies are used to stimulate skin tissues in order to gradually improve their firmness and texture. These technologies are primarily based on the use of controlled thermal energy that works at depth within the dermis.

By heating skin tissues in a targeted manner, these devices stimulate fibroblasts, the cells responsible for the production of collagen and elastin.

At Centre Skinpulse, several latest-generation technologies are used in order to tailor the treatment to different aesthetic indications.

How does skin tightening work?

Skin tightening technologies rely on the controlled increase of temperature within certain layers of the skin.

This thermal stimulation:

• activates fibroblasts
• stimulates collagen production
• gradually improves skin firmness

Results appear progressively as the skin produces new supporting fibres.

Venus Viva™ and Venus Legacy™ – Venus Technologies

The Venus Viva™ and Venus Legacy™ technologies use multipolar radiofrequency combined with pulsed magnetic fields.

This technology delivers uniform thermal energy into the skin tissues to stimulate collagen production.

It is used across various indications aimed at improving the texture and firmness of the skin.

Intense IR – Etherea Platform

The Intense IR – Etherea Platform (Vydence) system uses infrared light that heats the deeper layers of the skin.

This thermal stimulation triggers a natural process of collagen renewal and may help improve skin tone.

Genius™ – Lutronic

The Genius™ (Lutronic) system combines radiofrequency with microneedles.

The microneedles reach the deeper layers of the skin, while the radiofrequency delivers thermal energy directly into the targeted tissues.

This combination allows for more precise stimulation of skin structures.

A personalised approach

Each technology has its own specific features. The choice of treatment depends in particular on:

• the area to be treated
• the quality of the skin
• the patient's objectives

A preliminary consultation makes it possible to assess these elements in order to recommend the most suitable technology.
