What are radio frequency devices (RF)? These are electronic devices that use radio frequencies to heat and treat acne, rosacea, broken capillaries, enlarged pores, and other skin conditions. They’re also used to treat hair loss, stretch marks, and other blemishes.
You may have heard of laser and light therapy for skin problems. But do you know there’s a third type? If so, you’ll probably be surprised to learn it’s been around for some time. Radio-frequency devices are old school in the sense they have been around since the early 20th century when they were used to treat lupus erythematosus. Today, they’re being used once again to help with a range of issues — like acne.
What are the benefits of using Radio-Frequency devices?
Radio-frequency devices have been used for decades in dermatology practices and hospitals. They’re FDA-approved for many different skin conditions. These devices use radio frequencies to heat the skin. This heating can promote collagen production and encourage new blood flow.
It can also kill acne-causing bacteria. This makes radio frequency devices a good option for acne-prone skin. When people have acne, their pores are more likely to clog. This creates blackheads, pimples, and whiteheads. And those pores can become infected. More than 50% of acne breakouts are caused by bacteria.
When used on acne-prone skin, these devices can help unclog pores, reduce blackheads, kill bacteria and encourage new skin growth. Radio-frequency devices also promote collagen production. This can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tones. Some devices are also designed to be used on the face and body.
How do Radio-Frequency devices work?
Radio-frequency devices use the heat generated by electric currents to heat the skin. They work by activating the fibroblasts found in the dermis. These are the cells that produce collagen. This procedure is known as collagen induction therapy (CIT). The radio waves penetrate the skin and heat the underlying tissue. This increases circulation and promotes healing.
RF devices are often used as part of a skincare system. This includes a facial toning device and an anti-aging machine. Some of these devices can be used on the face and body. The devices generate a radio-frequency electromagnetic field. This penetrates the top layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production.
RF devices treatments for Acne and skin conditions
- Acne: Acne is caused by sebaceous gland problems, hormonal changes, stress, and genetics. The best way to treat acne is to control these factors. If your acne treatment isn't working or you have acne-prone skin, you may want to try a radio-frequency device.
- Rosacea: Rosacea is a common condition that causes redness on the face, it can also cause swelling and broken capillaries. The good news is that radio-frequency devices can help reduce redness and swelling.

Things to consider before you buy an RF device
- Cost: This depends on the device and features, but expect to pay between $150 and $250 on average.
- Power Level: The RF level is measured in watts, look for devices that have a low-to-medium power level.
- Frequency: The frequency refers to the number of cycles per second, and this determines the heat generated. A higher frequency device will generate more heat.
- Skin Type: RF devices are ideal for people with normal to oily skin, but people with mixed skin can also use them.
