Cleared ≠ proven. An FDA 510(k) clearance means the device may be legally marketed for that use — it is not, on its own, evidence that it works for you. How we grade evidence → Compare with another device →

What it claims

  • Tightens skin and reduces wrinkles
  • Stimulates collagen

Manufacturer / marketing claims — not verified by SkinCarisma.

What the evidence says

RF skin tightening has reasonable evidence for in-clinic devices; at-home units deliver less energy, so results are typically subtler and slower. Benefits build over repeated sessions and depend on consistent use.
