MedGlo offers physician-performed RF Density treatment in Mission Viejo, CA, with every session planned and performed personally by Dr. Violeta Recalde, MD. RF Density is a non-invasive radiofrequency skin tightening treatment that gently heats the deeper layers of the skin to boost collagen density — firming, lifting, and smoothing areas of mild to moderate laxity with no needles and no downtime.

Because results depend on precise, controlled heating, the settings and treatment plan are tailored specifically to your skin. There are no nurse injectors or technicians at MedGlo — Dr. Recalde is a board-certified physician with over 20 years of medical experience and oversees every step from consultation through your final session.

What is RF Density?

RF Density uses radiofrequency energy to warm the dermis — the deeper layer of the skin where collagen and elastin live. This controlled heat prompts your body to contract existing collagen fibers and produce fresh new collagen over time, increasing the skin's density and firmness. The surface of the skin stays intact, which is why the treatment is comfortable and requires no recovery period.

Unlike ablative resurfacing such as CO2 Laser or needle-based RF Microneedling, RF Density is a gentle, no-downtime option focused on tightening and firming. Dr. Recalde will help you choose the right modality — or combination — for your concerns.

What RF Density Treats

Mild to moderate skin laxity on the face and jawline

Early sagging and a softening jawline or "jowl" area

Crepey or loose skin on the neck and under the chin

Loss of firmness after weight loss or with age

Uneven texture and a tired, less toned appearance

Select areas of the body seeking gentle tightening

Pre-Treatment Preparation

RF Density requires very little preparation, but a few simple steps help you get the safest treatment and the best possible results. If anything is unclear, our team is happy to help.

In the Days Before

Stay well hydrated in the days leading up to your appointment — hydrated skin responds best to radiofrequency.

Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning, including tanning beds, on the treatment area.

Let the MedGlo team know about any recent cosmetic treatments or changes to your medical history.

Day of Treatment

Arrive with clean skin — free of makeup, lotion, sunscreen, or oils on the treatment area.

Remove jewelry near the treatment area before your session.

There's no downtime, so you can return to work, exercise, and your day right afterward.

Important Medical Information

Radiofrequency treatments are not appropriate for everyone. Please inform Dr. Recalde and the MedGlo team if you:

Are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Have a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or other electronic implanted device.

Have metal implants, plates, or permanent fillers in or near the treatment area.

Have active infections, rashes, or open wounds in the treatment area.

Have a history of keloid scarring or poor wound healing.

What to Expect

During RF Density, Dr. Recalde glides a smooth applicator over the treatment area as it delivers gradual, comfortable warmth. Most patients describe it as a relaxing hot-stone-like sensation. A typical session takes about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the area, and there is no numbing required and no recovery time.

Afterward, the skin may look mildly flushed for a short while — you can apply makeup and return to your day immediately. Firming continues to build over the following weeks and months as new collagen forms, and results deepen across a treatment series. Dr. Recalde will recommend the ideal number of sessions and any maintenance to keep your results looking their best.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is RF Density and what does it treat? +
RF Density is a non-invasive radiofrequency skin tightening treatment. It uses gentle heat to stimulate new collagen and elastin deep in the skin, firming and lifting areas of mild to moderate laxity. It's commonly used for the face, jawline, neck, and select areas of the body to soften early sagging, improve crepey texture, and restore a smoother, more toned appearance.
Is RF Density the same as RF Microneedling? +
No. RF Microneedling combines tiny needles with radiofrequency to remodel the skin, with a short recovery period. RF Density is a needle-free, surface treatment — radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of the skin without breaking the surface, so there's no downtime. Dr. Recalde will help you choose the right option for your skin and goals.
Does RF Density hurt and is there downtime? +
Most patients find RF Density very comfortable — it feels like a warm massage. There are no needles and no downtime. Skin may look mildly flushed for a short time afterward, and you can return to normal activities and makeup right away.
How many sessions will I need? +
Because RF Density works by gradually building collagen, a series of treatments produces the best results — often 4 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart, followed by occasional maintenance. Dr. Recalde will outline a realistic plan at your consultation based on your skin and goals.
When will I see results? +
Some patients notice a subtle tightening right after treatment as the skin responds to the heat. The more meaningful firming builds gradually over the following weeks and months as new collagen forms, with results continuing to improve across a treatment series.
Am I a candidate for RF Density? +
Most healthy adults with mild to moderate skin laxity are good candidates, and RF Density is safe for all skin tones. It is not appropriate during pregnancy, or for patients with a pacemaker, defibrillator, or metal implants in the treatment area, among other conditions. Dr. Recalde reviews your full medical history before recommending treatment.
