Facial radiofrequency is an in-salon treatment based on radiofrequency energy, available at Anaël with a clear focus: working on the firmness of facial skin. It's positioned as a non-invasive option within facial care, aimed at people looking for an approach centred on tone and firmness rather than cleansing or pigmentation.
Technology: Uses radiofrequency energy applied to the face to create a controlled warming of the skin. Equipment: The specific radiofrequency platform and brand are not identified on this page.
What it is
Facial radiofrequency uses radiofrequency energy to warm the layers of the skin in a controlled way, with the aim of encouraging a firmer, more toned feel. It's a widely used technique in non-invasive facial treatments, and at Anaël it's applied as part of a protocol designed for the face.
Common goals
It's usually chosen for firmness-related goals: improving skin tone, addressing areas that feel less firm, or complementing a regular facial care routine with an approach geared more towards firmness than cleansing.
Who it may suit
It may appeal to anyone looking for a facial treatment specifically focused on firmness, as a complement or alternative to other facial care geared more towards cleansing, texture, or pigmentation. Suitability is assessed individually during the prior consultation.
Treatment areas
It's usually applied to the face and, often, the jawline and neck; the specific areas for each person are defined during the prior assessment with the Anaël team.
What a typical appointment looks like
As is typical with in-salon facial treatments, the appointment usually includes a skin assessment, cleansing of the area beforehand, application of the treatment, and some final care tips. Duration and number of sessions vary case by case and are discussed at your initial consultation.
What you might feel
The sensation during an in-salon facial treatment is usually gentle and well tolerated, though it varies depending on the technology used and the area treated. The team walks you through what to expect at your pre-session consultation.
Preparation
As a general guideline before a facial treatment, it's advisable to arrive with clean skin, without makeup if possible, and to mention any allergy, medication, or relevant skin condition to the team. The team adds any further guidance at your pre-treatment consultation.
Aftercare
After a facial treatment, a gentle care routine is usually recommended, with sun protection and avoiding irritating products in the following hours. The team gives you specific aftercare guidance at the end of the session, based on the area treated and your skin.
Some facial treatments can cause mild, temporary redness, similar to that of a deep facial cleanse. The team explains which reactions are common and how to care for your skin afterward.
A treatment adapted to you
At Anaël, every facial treatment is assessed individually based on skin type and each person's goals.
Before booking, a prior consultation with the Anaël team helps confirm whether this treatment suits your skin and your goals.
Alternatives at Anaël
Facial radiofrequency stands apart from the salon's other facial treatments in its focus: while the facial cleanse and HydraFacial centre on cleansing and hydration, and the spot treatment or photorejuvenation work on pigmentation, facial radiofrequency is specifically geared towards firmness. Dermapen/Microneedling, which focuses on texture and skin renewal, can be combined with it depending on each person's goals.
Common reasons to consult
It's usually considered when someone notices a feeling of sagging or reduced firmness in the face, or when the main goal is skin tone rather than cleansing, texture, or pigmentation spots.
