Radiage is a non-invasive radiofrequency treatment designed to tighten the skin and improve its texture. Controlled radiofrequency energy warms the deeper tissue and stimulates the collagen structures, the network of fibres that gives the skin support. Over time, the treated skin can appear firmer, smoother and more toned.
The treatment is particularly suitable for early skin laxity, fine lines and loss of firmness. The energy is delivered without needles, and there is usually no significant downtime. During the consultation, we assess which areas are suitable and which settings to use.
Treatment Areas
Before the first session, we discuss which areas are suitable for you.
Face
On the face, Radiage can be used when the skin is losing firmness or fine lines and wrinkles are appearing. Tired or large-pored skin and early signs of skin ageing are also typical concerns.
Neck
On the neck, the treatment addresses sagging skin and reduced firmness. The heat acts on the collagen structures and can help the skin there look tighter.
Décolleté
On the décolleté, Radiage is used for sagging skin and fine lines. The aim is firmer, more even skin texture in this area.
Eye Area
Radiage can be used for mild skin laxity around the eyes, including drooping upper eyelids. Before treatment, we assess whether this area is an option for you.
Several Areas
If several zones are affected, the face, neck and décolleté can also be treated together. We agree the scope with you beforehand.
How does Radiage work?
Radiage uses controlled radiofrequency energy that is directed into the deeper layers of the skin. The tissue is warmed while the skin surface remains intact. Intensity and settings are adjusted to the area being treated and to your skin’s sensitivity.
The heat acts on existing collagen fibres and can support their contraction, meaning a slight tightening of the fibres. At the same time, it stimulates processes that can contribute to the formation and restructuring of collagen over time, known as remodelling.
The combination of warming and collagen remodelling can make the skin appear firmer and smoother over time. Fine lines and early laxity may become less visible as a result. Because the skin surface stays intact, no significant recovery period is required.

Why Radiage at Aesthetics Medical?
Working with Collagen
Radiage works on the collagen structures that help determine the skin’s firmness and elasticity. Changes therefore develop over the course of the treatment series.
Tailored Settings
The radiofrequency energy is adjusted to the treated area and to your skin’s sensitivity. We choose the settings based on an assessment of your skin.
Intact Skin Surface
The energy is delivered without needles and without injuring the skin. You can usually resume your everyday activities straight afterwards.
Areas as Needed
The face, neck and décolleté can be treated individually or together. This way, the scope reflects your concerns.
Clear Information
We discuss suitability, the changes you can expect and possible risks openly with you. The aim is a refreshed appearance that looks natural.
What does the treatment involve?
Consultation
During the consultation, we assess your skin and discuss your goals. We clarify whether Radiage is suitable for you, which areas to treat and which risks may apply.
Preparation
Before your appointment, you receive instructions on how to prepare. At the start of the session, the skin is cleansed and a conductive gel is applied.
Treatment
A special handpiece delivers the radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin. The treatment feels pleasantly warm and takes around one hour.
Aftercare
Temporary redness may occur and usually fades quickly. Avoid exercise and saunas on the day of treatment and use sun protection over the following days.
Further Sessions
A course of 3–5 sessions at intervals of 2–4 weeks is usually recommended. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months can help sustain the effect over the longer term.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the treatment work and how long does it take?
After the skin has been cleansed, a conductive gel is applied. A special handpiece then delivers radiofrequency energy into the deeper skin layers, which feels pleasantly warm. A session takes around one hour.
Is the treatment painful, and is anaesthesia used?
Radiage is well tolerated and causes minimal discomfort, with a sensation of warmth during treatment. Anaesthesia is not needed for this treatment. The settings are adjusted to your skin’s sensitivity.
What risks and side effects are possible?
Radiage is generally well tolerated. Mild redness or a feeling of warmth may occur during or after treatment, and in rare cases slight swelling. These reactions are temporary and usually settle quickly, and downtime is typically not required. Possible risks and your suitability are discussed during the medical consultation before treatment.
What should I consider before the treatment?
Before your first appointment, we discuss your skin, your goals and possible risks. You receive clear instructions on how to prepare, including on medication and sun exposure. Anything else that matters in your case is covered in person at that appointment.
What should I consider after the treatment?
Temporary redness can occur and generally settles quickly. Please skip exercise and saunas on the same day and protect your skin from the sun in the days that follow. Make-up can usually be applied again straight away.
How long does recovery take after the treatment?
Because the outer layer of the skin is left intact, Radiage does not require a lengthy recovery phase. Most everyday activities are possible straight afterwards. Mild redness may remain visible for a short time, and exercise or saunas can be resumed the following day.
Show all 11 questions
When do results become visible?
A slight firming effect can be noticeable straight after the session. Radiage works through the skin’s collagen structures, so further changes appear gradually: over the course of the treatment series, the skin can look tighter, smoother and firmer. How noticeable the change is varies from person to person.
How long do the results last?
The effect usually lasts around 6–12 months, varying from person to person. To maintain it over the longer term, maintenance treatments at this interval are recommended. We agree the right rhythm with you.
How many sessions are usually needed?
A series of 3–5 sessions at intervals of 2–4 weeks is usually planned. The exact number depends on your skin and your goal. We clarify what this means for you in person beforehand.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
The treatment may be an option if your skin is losing firmness, showing early signs of laxity or developing fine lines. A tired complexion with enlarged pores can also be a reason to consider it. At your consultation, we check whether Radiage suits your skin and which risks apply.
How much does the treatment cost?
Prices depend on the treatment area: CHF 250 each for the neck or décolleté and CHF 300 for the face. Treating the face, neck and décolleté together costs CHF 650. We confirm the exact cost after your consultation.
