The RF Treatment
RADIOFREQUENCY
Radiofrequency is currently the best available technology for non-invasive, non surgical skin tightening and cellulite removal. Radiofrequency treatments are used in aesthetics as a way to deliver intense heat to tissues deeper than the epidermis, with the aim to boost collagen production, circulation and fat release from those tissues.
Radiofrequency penetrate the superficial layers of the skin with a very high frequency electrical currents (300kHz-40MHz) without heating them, only heating selected tissues, such as the dermis, the middle skin layer where collagen-producing cells are located, and hypodermis, deepest skin layer where big collagen structures and fat tissue are located.
With a deep radiofrequency treatment, skin looseness and cellulite can be treated at the same time for smoother, slimmer firmer skin with one treatment. The essence of a radiofrequency procedure is to provide a deep, focused action where needed without causing irritation, redness and burns which can occur when the surface of the skin is affected.
The treatment gives you tight, rejuvenated, and invigorated skin on both the surface, and in the deeper subcutaneous layers. The overall effect of the therapy is supported by the stimulation of collagen fibres, the “building blocks” of the skin. The better the condition of these fibres, the younger your skin will look.
The thinner fat layer, combined with a stronger more pronounced skin layer, leads to circumference reduction and improves appearance of cellulite, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
What does it feel like?
A pleasant, warm sensation is felt while the RF beams generate the therapeutic action that stimulates the fat and dermis layers. The RF energy transmitted into the fat layers forces the fat cells to release liquid fat, causing them to shrink and contract. Simultaneously, dermal activity stimulates the skin’s fibroblasts to increase collagen replenishment to strengthen and rejuvenate skin for a smoother, tighter, more contoured appearance.
Frequency and Duration of Treatment?
Visible results are achieved after five treatments. You can have treatments as close as 3 days apart, but no closer as the body needs time for the elimination process. RF standard treatment consists of between 4 and 12 sessions. The sessions usually last about 10 minutes for facial treatments and about 30 minutes in the case of body treatments.
RF sessions may be conducted at any time of year. Once treatment is over, we recommend maintenance sessions after a few months.
Where is radio frequency effective?
Any part of the body with cellulite or that needs to be tightened and firmed, including limp skin on the neck and face, on the back of arms, etc. Fat deposits and cellulite are the most common aesthetic problems affecting the lives of many women worldwide.
What are its effects?
Radiofrequency is a simple beauty treatment that provides facial and body aesthetic benefits. Its effects are:
• It stimulates blood circulation.
• It stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
• It improves skin elasticity.
• It reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
Among the facial benefits, it stands out an immediate lifting effect, as well as the draining of puffiness of the periocular are, bags under the eyes and decreases the expression wrinkles.
Regarding to body benefits, radiofrequency is helpful for tissue tightening, for increasing the metabolism of adipocytes and to increase lymphatic return system. It also helps to improve the orange-peel skin.
Therefore, radiofrequency treatment would be indicated for:
• Fine facial expression lines
• Flaccidity
• Contouring jaws and chins.
• Softening wrinkles and lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
• Improving sagging skin under the chin.
• Localized adiposity.
Contra-indications :
• Pregnancy
• Vascular Disorders
• Pacemakers or other electrical devices.
• Metallic plates or pins
Cavitation
What is ultrasonic cavitation?
Ultrasonic cavitation is a weight-loss treatment that uses low-frequency sound waves to burst fat cells, which may result in lost inches on the treated areas and (ultimately) a slimmer figure. It’s been growing in popularity over the last few years because while traditional liposuction requires an invasive procedure to remove fat, this procedure doesn’t.
What kind of results can I expect?
1. Tightened skin and reduced cellulite (due to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers)
2. Reduced circumference in the treated area (due to fat-cell release)
3. An overall contoured appearance (due to a combination of the benefits listed above)
How many treatments is needed? How often should you be treated to see results?
The exact number of treatments needed will vary due to factors such as age, weight, and the area being treated. However, its anything between 6-12 treatments.
How long do ultrasonic cavitation results last?
Ultrasonic cavitation does not destroy fat cells; rather, it empties them of their contents, which means the cells are capable of storing fat again. A balanced diet is the only way to ensure lasting results. Those who take in more calories than they bum will see their improvement start to decrease over time.
Advantages of Ultrasonic Cavitation
• Painless treatment, focusing the RF energy at the correct position, compared to other radio frequency technology. It uses low energy and high frequency so its safe and effective.
• Aim at the skin surface and deep location to allow direct access to the different skin layer. Does not cause the phenomenon of uneven skin.
• Selectively targeting fatty tissue
• The entire process is completed without the need of surgery and anaesthesia.
• Without side effects and the risk of gaining the weight back, the results are rather obvious. Does not affect the normal work and life.
Uses of Ultrasonic Cavitation
Firming the arms, legs, thighs, buttocks, waist, back, abdominal muscles and reshape the body figure. Improve and treat the orange peel like fatty tissues, rapidly relieves stress and remove fatigue. Firming, lifting and improving collagen and elastic fibers in the skin.
Contradictions:
• Pregnant women or women on periods
• Epileptic.
• Patients with malignancy.
• Patient whose wound has not healed up after surgery
• Acute inflammation or epidemical patients.
• Hearth diseases patient or with heart pacemaker.
• Who has kidney (gall-stone) disease.
• Who has any metal objects in their body.
• Who has the genetic hypersensitivity
Are the effects long lasting?
Ultrasound stimulation bypasses our central nervous system (which controls the release of noradrenaline), hence no fat rebound effect is observed.
Pre – Treatment (24 Hours)
• Reduce Garbs, Fats & Salt from diet
• Avoid Cigarettes, Alcohol & Caffeine for best results
• Eat light, fresh, unprocessed foods as much as possible
• Drink at least 2-3 liters of water per day, minimum
Post Treatment (24 Hours)
• You need to consume at least 2-3 litres of water after your treatment, not including what you had before your appointment. You need to flush the toxins out of your body.
• Immediately after your appointment it’s important to go for a walk (20+ minutes, elevate your heart rate) or within 4-6 hours do some exercise as you need to ensure you burn or eliminate the liquified fat, not reabsorb it.
• Reduce Carbs, Fats & Salts from your diet
