Combining Skin & Hair Care: The Dual Benefits of Radiofrequency Therapy

INDIBA® Radiofrequency: Skin & Hair Care In One Treatment

When it comes to beauty and wellness treatments, options that address both skin and hair concerns are uncommon. INDIBA® radiofrequency therapy is one such option. While often associated with skin rejuvenation, it also supports scalp and hair health, offering a combined approach.

INDIBA® radiofrequency utilises a proprietary energy-based technology designed to stimulate cellular activity. This process helps improve skin tone and texture, as well as scalp condition. For hair, it enhances strength and overall appearance.

Some may not be aware of INDIBA®’s dual applications, but it can be a convenient choice for those seeking to support skin and hair wellness in a single session. The treatment promotes collagen production and circulation, which benefit both areas. For individuals looking to streamline their routine, this dual functionality could be a practical consideration.

How INDIBA® radiofrequency therapy works

INDIBA® radiofrequency therapy uses a proprietary radiofrequency energy system (Proionic®) that operates at 448 kHz. This frequency is designed to penetrate skin layers while stimulating cellular activity. Unlike some other radiofrequency treatments, it uses a lower frequency, which helps maintain tissue safety by minimizing excessive heat.

The treatment creates a gentle warming effect in the tissues, which supports microcirculation and cellular function. Over time, this process contributes to improvements in skin firmness, texture, and hair follicle condition—all within the same session.

The Proionic® system works by influencing cellular electrical activity, which assists in tissue renewal. While individual results vary, some users observe enhanced skin elasticity and scalp health after a series of treatments. The procedure is generally well-tolerated across different skin types, making it an option for those seeking a combined approach to skin and hair concerns.

Skin benefits

INDIBA® radiofrequency therapy supports skin rejuvenation by addressing common signs of ageing. As collagen production naturally decreases with time, skin gradually lose elasticity, potentially leading to visible fine lines and reduced firmness. The treatment works by stimulating cellular activity, which helps promote collagen production—contributing to improved skin elasticity and texture over time.

Additionally, INDIBA® radiofrequency helps improve the appearance of acne scars, uneven skin tone, and mild pigmentation. The treatment works by encouraging cellular activity, which contributes to gradual refinement of skin texture. While individual experiences may differ, some users notice improvements in their complexion following multiple sessions.

Hair benefits

INDIBA® radiofrequency therapy offers benefits for individuals experiencing hair thinning or scalp concerns. The same Proionic® technology used for skin treatments also supports scalp health by enhancing circulation and improving conditions for hair maintenance.

With regular sessions, some users observe improvements in hair texture and scalp condition. The treatment works by stimulating blood flow to the scalp, which supports nutrients delivery to hair follicles. This process contributes to maintaining healthier hair roots over time.

While not a substitute for medical hair restoration procedures, INDIBA® therapy serves as a complementary approach for those seeking to maximise hair transplant results and support overall hair and scalp wellness.

What to expect?

INDIBA® radiofrequency therapy is generally considered a comfortable, non-invasive procedure. As the treatment doesn’t require incisions or abrasions, most patients experience minimal downtime following their session.

During treatment, the Proionic® radiofrequency device is gently moved over the skin or scalp. Patients typically feel a mild warming sensation as the energy interacts with tissue. Sessions typically last between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Being non-ablative, the technology works without affecting the skin’s surface layer. This characteristic allows for repeated sessions with a low risk of side effects. Some patients observed changes in skin texture after several treatments, while hair and scalp improvements might require more sessions to become noticeable.

With regular sessions, INDIBA® helps support ongoing skin and hair wellness. However, individual experiences and timelines for noticing changes may vary.

Supporting Your Results with Aftercare

After an INDIBA® radiofrequency session, certain aftercare practices can help maintain its potential benefits. For skin, a regular skincare routine that includes moisturising and sun protection supports healthy-looking skin. Since the treatment stimulates collagen activity, proper hydration is recommended post-treatment.

For hair care, using mild, nourishing products can complement the therapy’s effects. Sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners formulated for scalp health help maintain the treatment’s benefits. Keeping the scalp clean and moisturised can also support hair condition between sessions.

Who should consider INDIBA® radiofrequency therapy?

INDIBA® radiofrequency therapy may be an option for those seeking a combined approach to skin and hair concerns. The treatment can benefit individuals noticing signs of skin ageing or changes in hair quality, as it’s designed to support collagen production and scalp health.

A consultation with a dermatology clinic can help determine if this treatment aligns with individual needs and expectations. INDIBA® may also be combined with other cosmetic procedures as part of a personalised care plan.

Conclusion

INDIBA® radiofrequency therapy offers a combined approach to addressing common signs of skin ageing and supporting hair health. The treatment’s Proionic® technology is designed to work on multiple concerns in a single session, reducing the need for separate procedures.
