What is Skin Retraction & Neocollagenesis?
In an industry-first approach, this treatment utilises 4 Radio Frequency (RF) wavelengths of energy, interlinked and controlled at 4 different depths, allowing for the most effective heat field possible to achieve superior treatment results.
By creating a controlled thermal injury, the body initiates its healing response, stimulating the production and formation of new collagen from within.
This innovative treatment is commonly used to:
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Tighten the face and neck region
- Volumise the dermis (dermal volumizing)
- Lift the periorbital and perioral areas
- Lift and firm the neck
- Target the visible signs of ageing

How Does Skin Retraction & Neocollagenesis Work?
4 interlinked RF wavelengths, controlled at 4 different depths, work together to create the most effective heat field possible for lasting collagen renewal.
4-Wavelength RF Application
Four RF wavelengths of energy, interlinked and controlled at four different depths, are delivered directly to the treatment area.
Controlled Thermal Injury
A controlled thermal injury is created within the dermis, safely initiating the body’s own healing response.
Neocollagenesis
The healing response stimulates the production and formation of new collagen, smoothing fine lines and volumising the dermis.
Lift, Smooth & Tighten
The result is visible lifting, smoothing and tightening of the face and neck for a more youthful, revitalised look.

Pre and Post-Care Treatment
Preparing properly and following aftercare instructions are key to achieving the best possible results. Our team guides you through every step, from consultation through to full recovery.
Treatment is performed in under 30 minutes and is designed to be comfortable, with a controlled warming sensation as the RF energy is delivered. There is no cutting, no stitches, and no general anaesthetic involved.
A professional consultation is essential before every treatment. Your clinician will conduct a full skin assessment, discuss your goals, review your history, and confirm the right treatment plan for your needs.
- Follow your clinician’s specific aftercare instructions
- Apply any recommended aftercare products as advised
- Avoid excessive sun exposure and apply SPF during recovery
- Stay well hydrated to support the skin’s natural healing response
- Contact your clinic if you experience any unusual side effects
Immediately following treatment, you may notice mild warmth or redness in the treated area; this is a normal response to the controlled thermal injury and typically settles quickly.
Results build progressively as collagen remodels the skin over the following weeks. Many clients continue to see improvement in skin tightness and texture for some time after their session, with touch-up treatments available to maintain results.
