QuantumRF Skin Tightening
QuantumRF delivers radiofrequency energy beneath the skin to support tissue contraction and contouring. At Therapeutic Elements in Lebanon, PA, this minimally invasive treatment is planned around your anatomy and areas of laxity.
Updated
What is QuantumRF?
QuantumRF uses a cannula beneath the skin to deliver controlled fractional radiofrequency energy into targeted tissue. It is minimally invasive, rather than a surface-only skin treatment, and does not involve the large skin-removal incisions of excisional surgery.
Which concerns and areas can be assessed?
- Loose skin along the jawline and neck
- Skin laxity after weight loss
- Abdomen and arms
- Thighs and other body areas
- Loss of definition associated with tissue laxity
Is QuantumRF right for me?
Your provider assesses the amount and location of laxity, your health history, and your expectations. QuantumRF is not a substitute for every surgical procedure. A consultation helps establish what degree of change is realistic and whether a different approach would better meet your goals.
What happens during treatment?
The team plans the treatment area, discusses comfort measures and recovery, and selects the appropriate cannula and energy settings. Energy is delivered beneath the surface to the targeted tissue. Your specific procedure and follow-up plan are explained before treatment.
Recovery and expected results
Expect a personalized recovery plan rather than assuming there is no downtime. The practice’s QuantumRF guide covers preparation, early aftercare, sun exposure, and restarting skincare. QuantumRF may be planned as a single treatment, but improvement and the need for further treatment vary.
Why combine QuantumRF with Morpheus8?
QuantumRF treats tissue from beneath the skin; Morpheus8 delivers fractional RF through microneedles from the surface. The team may combine them when both deeper laxity and skin quality are concerns. Combination treatment is selected individually.
Pricing and consultation
QuantumRF starts at $2,500 on the practice’s treatment menu. Final pricing depends on your plan.

Is QuantumRF non-invasive?
No. QuantumRF is minimally invasive and places a cannula beneath the skin. It differs from non-invasive treatments applied only at the surface.
Can QuantumRF help with loose skin after weight loss?
Skin laxity after weight loss is one of the concerns the team assesses for QuantumRF. Suitability depends on the degree of laxity, treatment area, and individual health.
Does QuantumRF replace a facelift or body lift?
It does not replace surgery for every patient. Your provider will discuss the limits of a minimally invasive approach and the amount of change you can reasonably expect.
