* Radio frequency surgical equipment emits energy in the form of electromagnetic waves, which are absorbed by the surrounding tissue, creating a heated treatment zone * Increased resistance causes heat buildup at the subdermal junction * Heat induces collagen denaturization, followed by collagen contraction * Collagen breaks down * Protein stimulation causes new collagen formation and production in the dermis * Existing bands of collagen tighten in subcutaneous fat * Remodeling of collagen occurs in dermis and subcutaneous fat, creating a superficial tightening of the epidermis
