The Protege Elite Radio Frequency device non-invasively delivers radiofrequency waves to create heat in the underlying tissues, which can stimulate the production of collagen over time. Collagen production leads to wrinkle reduction and restoration of the skin’s structure and vitality.
Protege Elite Radio Frequency can be a very effective treatment for skin tightening. With age, the skin’s collagen gets depleted and superficial fat tissues can lose their firmness, leading to wrinkles and sagging in the skin. The protege Elite uses a monopolar radiofrequency (RF) energy that it delivers deep through the skin
layers, penetrating the tissues and generating heat. This provides an optimal environment for the production of new collagen, giving the skin a tightened and refreshed look. The collagen-building process in the body is natural and takes time, so results tend to form over a few weeks to months as the collagen builds up.
Because of its powerful effects on wrinkles and its ability to reinvigorate the skin’s natural structural mechanisms, it’s commonly used to provide skin tightening and rejuvenation in the following areas:
Results with Protege Radio Frequency treatment depend on the areas being treated. Overall, the results hold up very well over time and can last up to 2 years on average.
It’s important to note that the most effective treatment regimen requires four sessions over two months period. Maintenance sessions can be done periodically to increase the longevity of your results with this treatment.
To start, you and Dr. Brandish will develop an individualized treatment plan to determine if Protege Radio Frequency is the best tool for the desired result.
At the session, the skin is prepped and cleaned. A small amount of cool gel will be applied to the treatment area(s) and the device’s handpiece. Once the machine is calibrated and prepared, the Protege Elite handpiece is used to go over the desired area of treatment and deliver the radiofrequency (RF) energy to deeper tissues. There may be a sensation of warmth as the RF energy heats these underlying tissue regions where collagen will be stimulated and the procedure should be relatively mild in discomfort.
4 Sessions are usually recommended, each 2 weeks apart over 2 months to provide the best results.
There is very little downtime with this procedure! Many patients receive treatment and go about their day. There is usually minimal redness or swelling, and the skin should return to normal over the next few hours to a day.
Adherence to Dr. Brandish’s aftercare recommendations will ensure maximum benefit from this procedure.
Side effects are quite limited with Protege Radio Frequency treatment. The most commonly reported side effect is pink coloration after treatment, and occasionally mild redness or a hive-like reaction may form, but this is rare. This treatment is quite safe and low-risk!
By using monopolar radiofrequency, this treatment delivers energy to varying depths of the skin, heating these tissues in the process. As the tissues heal, collagen production is stimulated in the tissues, resulting in the long-term tightening of the skin as the body continues to build and deposit more collagen in the treated areas. This cutting-edge modality can powerfully and safely rejuvenate the skin, making it a great treatment for wrinkles, sagging or loose skin, double chin, or anti-aging treatments to areas like the face, neck, and chest.

I originally started seeing a different beauty doctor in San Diego, but I was not satisfied with my results. I also didn't like the fact that he didn't give much input andI stop going there. Then I found Dr. Brandish's office and I gave it a try. My first visit with Dr. Brandish was very pleasant, she asked what I was looking for and she gave me her opinion on that would work best. I was very happy with my results with dysport fillers. I have been coming to Dr. Brandish Clinic for five years. I highly recommend Dr. Brandish Clinic.
I have been going to Brandish clinic for a few years. She always does an excellent job and knows just how to make me feel and look better. She never over does my treatments and makes me look natural. She always works with me to make me my best self. I would and do highly recommend Brandish Clinic for Botox for any facial rejuvenation you may interested in. Check out her specials on her website.
What a wonderful and relaxing experience for Botox. Men who want to stay more youthful looking need to see Dr. Brandish, she is a true artist. Very relaxing office and she is an expert at discussing treatment options. This is my third visit and I plan on seeing her for my regular follow up visits as well.
I have been going to Dr. Brandish for over a year and completely trust her. She listens to what I want and I always love the results. Her prices are competitive. I wouldn't risk going to anyone else. I was initially referred by a friend and learned later of so many more of my friends that go to her. They all look amazing ! You won't be disappointed. I recommend Dr. Brandish with confidence !
I love love love this clinic. Dr. Brandish is a perfectionist and I always leave feeling youthful and very happy with my results. I've had Botox and fillers with other doctors and she has had to fix the mistakes. I only go to her as of 2017. Also, when I walk in, I'm always greeted with a smile and professional attitude from her receptionist Brenda.
