IgniteRF

Trusted radiofrequency technology, upgraded for more dramatic results

As skin laxity and contour changes develop over time, many individuals want noticeable improvement without traditional surgery. IgniteRF is an advanced radiofrequency technology designed to tighten skin, refine contours, and stimulate collagen at multiple tissue depths. 

At Longwood Plastic Surgery, IgniteRF is used as a customizable treatment option for those seeking meaningful results with a minimally invasive approach.

How Does IgniteRF Work?

IgniteRF uses radiofrequency energy, the same core technology behind AccuTite and FaceTite, but with expanded capabilities. The system is designed to deliver controlled RF energy at depths ranging from approximately 0.5 mm to 60 mm, allowing treatment to be precisely tailored to the area and concern.

Advanced temperature monitoring continuously measures tissue response during treatment, helping maintain consistent therapeutic heating while prioritizing safety. By heating targeted tissues, IgniteRF stimulates collagen contraction and remodeling, leading to tighter, smoother, and more contoured skin over time.

Am I a Good Candidate for IgniteRF?

IgniteRF may be a good option for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity who want improvement without undergoing a surgical procedure. It is commonly used to address concerns such as:

  • Loose or sagging skin of the face and neck
  • Early jowling or jawline softening
  • Skin laxity of the body in select areas
  • Loss of definition or firmness

Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health and have realistic expectations about results. A consultation at Longwood Plastic Surgery is essential to determine whether IgniteRF is appropriate based on anatomy, goals, and skin quality.

FAQ’s

IgniteRF treatments are performed in a controlled clinical setting. Local anesthesia is typically used to help ensure comfort throughout the procedure.

During treatment, a specialized handpiece delivers RF energy beneath the skin while real-time temperature monitoring helps guide energy delivery. Treatment time varies depending on the areas being addressed, but is often completed within one to two hours.

Following the procedure, mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness may occur, which is expected as the tissues begin the healing process.

Some tightening may be noticeable early as collagen contracts, but results continue to improve over time. As new collagen forms, skin gradually becomes firmer and more defined over the following weeks to months.

Many individuals notice:

  • Improved skin tightness
  • Better contour and definition
  • Smoother skin texture
  • A more refreshed, youthful appearance

Results can be long-lasting, particularly when combined with healthy lifestyle habits and proper skincare.

Downtime after IgniteRF is typically shorter than that of surgical procedures, though some recovery time should be expected. Most individuals experience swelling and bruising that gradually improves over one to two weeks.

Patients can often return to light activities within a few days, with full recovery continuing as collagen remodeling progresses. Post-treatment instructions are provided to support healing and help optimize outcomes.
