Radiofrequency (RF) for cellulite & body contouring

Radiofrequency is a popular method for body fat reduction, skin tightening, cellulite & stretch marks, with no pain, recuperation or healing time. It is ideal for those who have problem areas despite a healthy diet and exercise, who are not prepared to undergo a surgical procedure like liposuction.

How Radiofrequency(RF) works?

RF uses electrical energy to heat the deep layers of the skin, whilst protecting the outer layer. Heating in this area, without damaging the outer layers of skin, causes microscopic changes to the tissues and collagen contraction, with subsequent collagen remodelling over the months that pass. Treatments are comfortable, have no healing time and give immediate results. You are able to resume all your usual activities straight after. A series of treatments is usually required for optimal results.

How safe is Radiofrequency (RF) for cellulite & body contouring?

RF technology has been used in medicine (surgery) for over 30 years for haemostasis (blood coagulation) and tissue ablation (electrosurgery). More recently it has been applied as a means of shrinking lax connective tissues through collagen denaturation. RF is a clinically proven and safe treatment technology. There are rarely any side effects, but some patients may experience a mild redness that subsides 1-2 hours after the treatment.

What kind of results can I expect from Radiofrequency (RF) treatments for cellulite & body contouring?

Expect to see results after just one session with full results after a series of treatments. Our radiofrequency treatments are a suitable body shaping solution for those who don’t want to go under the knife, and can be used as a standalone solution for treating the abdomen, waist, buttocks, thighs and arms, as well as post liposuction.

How many Radiofrequency (RF) treatments will I need?

Are Radiofrequency (RF) treatments painful?

RF treatments are generally comfortable. As the treatment is carried out you will experience heating sensations every time the RF energy is delivered to your skin and underlying tissue.

The most frequently reported side effects of treatment with RF energy are swelling, redness or bruising on or around the treated area, which typically disappear in a few days or weeks. There are also reports of a feeling of dry skin in the treated area for a couple of days which can be relieved with body oils or creams.:
