Face Radiofrequency Treatment - Neauvia Sectum®

Non-surgical facial skin tightening treatment in London.

From £480 per session

Ageing of the face is rarely caused by one single factor. Skin gradually loses elasticity, collagen fibres become less organised and the dermis slowly becomes thinner. Over time these changes contribute to skin laxity, fine lines and reduced skin firmness.

Many patients want to address these changes but are not ready for surgery. They often want treatments that support skin quality in a gradual and controlled way.

One treatment used at Dr Hans Clinics for this purpose is Neauvia Sectum radiofrequency therapy.

Sectum is a medical radiofrequency platform designed to deliver controlled thermal energy into the skin using specialised applicators. The aim of the treatment is to gently heat the dermis and support the skin’s natural structural proteins.

Rather than aggressively removing skin layers, radiofrequency treatments focus on stimulating the dermis through controlled heating. This approach is widely used in dermatology and aesthetic medicine to improve skin firmness and texture.

What is Neauvia Sectum RF?

Neauvia Sectum is a radiofrequency platform designed for aesthetic, gynecological and surgical applications.

The device works by delivering electrical energy into tissue. As this energy encounters resistance within the skin, it converts into heat. Controlled heating of the dermis can lead to temporary collagen contraction and gradual tissue remodelling.

Sectum allows practitioners to carefully control:
● temperature
● power output
● treatment duration

The system can deliver up to 120W of power at a frequency of 480kHz, allowing precise energy delivery depending on the treatment area.

The goal is not aggressive skin injury but controlled dermal heating.

Bipolar vs Monopolar Radiofrequency

● Patients researching radiofrequency treatments often come across the terms monopolar and bipolar RF.
● The difference relates to how electrical current travels through tissue.

Monopolar radiofrequency

● In monopolar systems, energy travels from the treatment handpiece through the body to a grounding pad placed elsewhere on the patient.

● Because the current travels through a larger volume of tissue, monopolar systems can reach deeper layers including subcutaneous fat.

● These devices are sometimes used for deeper tissue heating or fat reduction procedures.

Bipolar radiofrequency

● In bipolar systems, the electrical current travels between two electrodes located on the same applicator.

● The current path is shorter, meaning the energy is concentrated more superficially in the dermis rather than deep fat layers.

● Neauvia Sectum facial treatments use bipolar radiofrequency, which is designed to target the dermal layer of the skin

●This allows controlled heating where collagen fibres are located while limiting energy reaching deeper fat compartments.

Why radiofrequency is used for facial rejuvenation

● The dermis contains collagen and elastin fibres that provide the skin with structure and elasticity.

Over time these fibres degrade due to:
● ageing
● ultraviolet exposure
● hormonal changes
● genetic factors

Radiofrequency treatments aim to influence these fibres through controlled heating.

Heat in the dermal layer can:
● cause immediate collagen contraction
● stimulate fibroblast activity
● support gradual collagen remodelling

This may lead to improvements in:
● skin firmness
● mild skin laxity
● skin texture

The skin surface remains intact during the procedure, which means downtime is typically minimal.

How does Sectum compare with Forma?

● In practical terms, both treatments aim to gently heat the dermis to stimulate collagen remodelling.

● The most important factor influencing results is treatment protocol and practitioner experience, rather than the specific brand of radiofrequency device.

Neauvia Conductive Gel System

A key part of the Sectum treatment protocol is the use of dedicated Neauvia conductive gels.

These gels are essential because they:
● allow smooth movement of the handpiece
● improve penetration of radiofrequency energy
● reduce surface current on the skin
The gel’s electrical properties help direct the energy deeper into the dermis rather than concentrating it on the epidermis.

Sectum Face Gel Ingredients

The face treatment gel includes ingredients designed to support skin hydration and conditioning during treatment.

● These include:
● Hyaluronic acid – supports hydration and skin barrier function
● Glycogen – enhances HA absorption and supports collagen production
● Physalis Angulata extract – soothing botanical extract

These ingredients do not replace the radiofrequency effect but help maintain skin comfort and hydration during treatment.

Facial Treatment Protocol

Neauvia Sectum face treatments are performed using a bipolar radiofrequency applicator.

During the procedure the applicator is moved continuously across the skin while maintaining a controlled temperature.

Typical treatment parameters include:

Target temperature 37–41°C
Treatment duration 20–30 minutes
Sessions 4–6 treatments

Treatment interval approximately one week apart
The face is generally divided into sections during treatment:

• left cheek and half chin
• right cheek and half chin
• forehead and periocular region

The device monitors temperature continuously to maintain the selected range.
The handpiece must remain in constant motion during treatment to ensure even heat distribution and reduce the risk of overheating.

What concerns can this treatment address?

Radiofrequency facial treatments are typically used for patients experiencing:

● mild to moderate skin laxity
● early jowl formation
● fine lines
● skin texture changes
● reduced skin firmness

It is important to understand that radiofrequency treatments do not reposition deeper facial structures.

For patients with advanced skin laxity or heavy tissue descent, surgical procedures may provide more significant results.

Combination Protocols

In modern aesthetic medicine, treatments are often combined to address different layers of ageing.

Sectum RF is frequently integrated into broader treatment strategies.

Examples include:
● Radiofrequncy + Skin Boosters
● Radiofrequency treatments may be combined with skin boosters such as:
○hyaluronic acid skin boosters
○ amino acid skin complexes

● The rationale is that RF addresses dermal stimulation while skin boosters improve hydration and skin quality.

Radiofrequency + PRP / PRF / Microneedling / Electroporation

Autologous regenerative treatments may be combined with RF treatments.

RF may improve circulation within the dermis, while platelet concentrates contain growth factors involved in tissue repair.

These treatments address different aspects of skin quality.

Combination protocols are always tailored individually following consultation.

Evidence & Expectations

Radiofrequency technologies have been studied extensively in dermatology and aesthetic medicine.

Studies suggest controlled heating of dermal tissue can stimulate fibroblast activity and influence collagen remodelling.

However outcomes vary between individuals and depend on factors such as:
● age
● skin quality
● genetics
● lifestyle

At Dr Hans Clinics we believe in realistic expectations.

Radiofrequency treatments may improve skin firmness and texture but they are not equivalent to surgical lifting procedures.

Recovery

Most patients resume normal activities immediately after treatment. Essentially no downtime

Some patients may experience:
● mild redness
● temporary warmth
● slight swelling

These effects usually resolve within a few hours.

FAQ

Will this treatment cause facial fat loss?

One concern patients frequently raise is whether radiofrequency treatments can reduce facial fat.

This concern often comes from misunderstanding how radiofrequency energy works.

Fat cells are damaged only when exposed to higher temperatures and longer exposure times than those typically used in facial skin tightening treatments.

Sectum facial protocols generally maintain tissue temperatures around:

37–41°C

These temperatures are selected to stimulate the dermis rather than damage fat tissue.

Adipocyte injury typically requires temperatures above those used in facial RF tightening.

For this reason, when treatments are performed correctly within recommended parameters, fat loss is not an expected outcome.

Most patients describe the sensation as warmth rather than pain.

Energy levels are adjusted throughout treatment to maintain comfort.

Some patients notice subtle improvements after the first few treatments.

More noticeable changes often develop gradually over several weeks.

Results vary depending on skin quality and lifestyle factors.

Maintenance treatments may be recommended.

Melasma is a complex pigmentation disorder influenced by hormonal factors, ultraviolet exposure and heat.
Although radiofrequency does not target melanin directly, excessive heat can theoretically aggravate melasma in some individuals.
For patients with melasma:
• conservative treatment parameters may be used
• treatment areas may be modified
• combination treatment plans may be recommended
A consultation is required to determine whether treatment is appropriate.

No.

Radiofrequency treatments improve skin quality but do not reposition deeper tissues or remove excess skin.

Yes. Many patients benefit from combination treatment plans tailored to their individual concerns.
