What is the recovery time after RF Lifting (Density) treatment?

Density RF is a non-invasive treatment with no recovery period. You can resume normal activities and apply makeup immediately after treatment. Mild warmth and slight swelling may persist for a few hours and naturally subside. Treatment does not interfere with sun exposure or daily routines.

When will I see results from Density RF treatment?

Immediate tightening effects are visible right after treatment due to collagen contraction. Progressive collagen regeneration continues over 4-12 weeks, with optimal results appearing 2-3 months post-treatment. Results can last 6-12 months, with improvement continuing to increase over time as new collagen forms.

How many RF Lifting sessions are needed?

One session produces immediate and lasting tightening effects. The number of treatments depends on individual skin elasticity and degree of laxity. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months are recommended to sustain results. During your consultation at ABLE Dermatology, we create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin condition.

Is RF Lifting (Density) painful?

Density RF produces a warm sensation during treatment but is generally very comfortable. Those with sensitive skin can benefit from topical numbing cream if desired. Unlike needling or incisions, RF treatment is entirely non-invasive and safe. Most patients tolerate the procedure well without significant discomfort.

Gold PTT

Gold PTT — Acccento N-Based Photothermal Therapy

Gold PTT (Photothermal Therapy) is a procedure applying gold nanoparticles to the skin, then using Acccento N 1064nm laser for selective photothermal destruction. Acccento N's 1064nm wavelength selectively heats sebaceous glands containing gold particles, fundamentally reducing sebum and acne triggers.

Gold particles target areas accumulating in sebaceous glands, while Acccento N delivers precisely matched wavelength energy — selective photothermal therapy.

Gold PTT Indications

Recommended for inflammatory acne, recurrent acne, oily skin, enlarged pores — for fundamental sebum control beyond surface treatment.

Recurrent inflammatory acne — Sebum gland-targeted selective destruction
Oily skin·excessive sebum — Sebum production reduction
Enlarged pores·blackheads — Sebum gland reduction → pore size improvement
Topical/oral medication resistance — Selective photothermal mechanism alternative

Gold PTT Procedure Steps

Step 1 · Gold particle application
Specialized solution containing gold nanoparticles applied to skin. Sufficient absorption time so particles accumulate in sebaceous glands and pore lining.
Step 2 · Acccento N 1064nm laser
1064nm wavelength laser selectively heats gold particles to high temperature, causing photothermal destruction of sebaceous glands. Surrounding healthy skin protected.
Step 3 · Soothing finish
Soothing care after photothermal procedure to reduce erythema and stabilize skin.

Post-Procedure Recovery

Light erythema and warmth for 1~2 days. Some patients may have temporary peeling. Make-up possible next day. Series of 3~6 sessions at 2~4 week intervals recommended.

Strict UV protection for 1~2 weeks after each session (SPF50+)
Avoid sauna, hot bath, intense exercise on procedure day
Avoid alcohol and irritating cosmetics for 1 week
Gentle cleansing — no irritating exfoliation or scrubs

Frequently Asked Questions About Gold PTT

How is it different from regular Acccento N treatment?

Regular Acccento N uses 1064nm laser alone. Gold PTT uses gold nanoparticles as a chromophore to enhance selective absorption — more focused sebaceous gland targeting and reduced surrounding tissue exposure.

How many sessions needed?

Typically 3~6 sessions at 2~4 week intervals based on condition severity. Maintenance sessions may follow.

Is the effect permanent?

Sebaceous gland reduction is structurally meaningful, but lifestyle factors (hormones, stress, diet) still influence sebum production. Long-term skincare matters.
