• How radiofrequency stimulates collagen
• The difference between RF, lasers, and ultrasound
• Why fat loss can happen and how to avoid it
• Who benefits most from treatment
• When surgery may be the better option
• Why midlife is the ideal time to start
Dr. Mina also discusses FDA clearance, the risks of inexperienced providers, and how lifestyle factors like resistance training, protein intake, and sun protection impact your results.
If you are considering radiofrequency for jowls, neck laxity, or skin thinning, watch this first.
