RADIOFREQUENCY FAQ

Your questions answered about radiofrequency as a facial treatment.

Radiofrequency uses radio waves (electromagnetic spectrum) to heat and firm below the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen and elastin production and blood flow.

Microcurrent uses electrical pulses to stimulate the facial muscles, firming and toning the muscles, as well as stimulating collagen and elastin production and blood flow.

Radiofrequency is best for tightening and firming the skin. Microcurrent is best for toning and contouring the facial muscles. Use both treatments for best results.

Radiofrequency uses radio waves (electromagnetic spectrum) to heat and firm below the skin’s surface, stimulating collagen and elastin production and blood flow.

LED light therapy uses concentrated light from the visible light spectrum (on the electromagnetic spectrum). Different lights penetrate the skin at different levels, triggering different responses. Penetrating the deepest of the 3 light therapies, red light reaches the deep tissue to encourage cell renewal and boost collagen production.

The two technologies work in a very similar way but LED uses light energy and radiofrequency uses electrical energy. Use both treatments for best results.

FACE ROCKET® FAQ

FaceRocket® is a 5-in-1 facial firming and toning device by MAGNITONE London. It uses a combination of radiofrequency, microcurrent, LED light therapy, cryotherapy and sonic massage in 3 easy to use settings. It is clinically proven to improve skin firmness by 29%, dermal density by 35% and reduce wrinkles by 10%. (Average result based on regular use over 4 weeks).

The different technologies are measured in different ways.

The radiofrequency in the FIRM setting heats to 42℃

The microcurrent in the TONE setting has 3 different intensities. Microcurrent works by creating pulses of electricity. The waves of these pulses are measured in 3 ways to determine their ‘strength’ - how long the wave is, how many waves per second and how sharp the ‘rise and fall’ of the wave is. The length and frequency of the microcurrent for FaceRocket® is 300-500 micro amps (mA). The intensity of the waves is what changes with each of the levels 1-3.

The strength of the LED light therapy is the same across all of the settings, operating at different wavelengths depending on the colour of light. Red LED (FIRM and TONE) operates at 620-750nm and green LED (COOL) operates at 475-545nm.

The cryotherapy in the COOL setting cools to 4℃.

We recommend that you follow our step-by-step 28 Day Face Programme, which will guide you through your first 4 weeks of daily treatments. When your 28 days have finished, maintain the results by using FIRM Mode at least once a week and TONE mode 1-3 times a week. COOL mode can be used daily, as required.

FIRM mode is best for firming and tightening the skin.

TONE mode is best for toning and contouring the facial muscles.

COOL mode is best for instant depuffing, soothing and brightening.

Before you begin, make sure your skin is fully cleansed - free of makeup, surface oils and daily grime.

Press and hold the power button to turn on FaceRocket®. It will automatically start in FIRM Mode. While the device warms up, apply a generous layer of Superconductive Gel to your skin.
Starting at the chin, place the head of FaceRocket® flush to your skin and gently move in small circular motions. After 5 seconds you will hear a beep, this means you need to move on to the next section of your face. Always keep FaceRocket® moving in FIRM Mode. DO NOT hold in one place.
Work along the jawline up to the ear on one side of your face, then repeat this section of your face 2 more times. So you’re doing 3 x 'repetitions' in total. Using this same technique move on to the next section of your face and continue to work around your face.
Once you have completed your whole face, you can go back and work on any specific problem areas such as smile line, frown lines or crows feet. To do this, gently move FaceRocket® in small circular motions for 15 seconds (3 x 5 second beeps).
When you're done, remove any excess gel with a clean, damp cloth and complete your skincare routine as normal.

There are multiple treatments one can have to improve skin firmness, texture, tone and radiance - FaceRocket® uses 5 of these methods all in one device - radiofrequency, microcurrent, LED light therapy, cryotherapy and sonic massage. By combining these technologies, you’re tackling these symptoms from multiple angles and should therefore see more improved results, faster than using just one type of treatment alone.
