Ultra-processed foods and cellulite
At the time of first writing this article (February 2024) a lot was written about how ultra-processed foods can cause heart disease, cancer and undermine health overall. But what about cellulite? We have made it clear on this blog that there is a big overlap between Western civilisation diseases (diabetes, heart disease, cancer etc) and cellulite. Sure, cellulite does not kill but the same things that cause these diseases to a large extent also cause cellulite. There is no complete overlap but there is a quite extensive one. Ultra-processed foods (UPF), i.e. the exact opposite for fresh, clean foods, rob food from all its nutrients to leave almost empty calories and various chemicals…

Amazing "body transformations" with 1-4 sessions? Good luck with those, you will need it...
Instant miracles and “amazing cellulite transformations” do not exist, no matter how expensive the treatment - don’t be naive
There is a lot of misinformation on cellulite, due to a mix of urban myth and marketing hype. And there are many things that you should not waste time doing when it comes to cellulite removal. In fact it is not a coincidence that we devote as many articles on what not works for cellulite on our “How to get rid of cellulite” guide, as we do on cellulite myths…
Cavitation ultrasound for cellulite vs ultrasound for physiotherapy: are they the same?
Yes, there are usually considerable differences. Physiotherapy ultrasound is usually of 1MHz (and sometimes 3MHz) frequency and of maximum power of around 10 Watts. Quite often it is used at a fraction of this maximum power, usually anything between 1 Watt and 5 Watts. This is because physiotherapy ultrasound is meant to stimulate and it is also used in a very small area, hence the low powers. Sometimes, low frequency ultrasound (300kHz) is used in physiotherapy but at very, very low powers (0.5-1 Watt). Some machines used in beauty, for cellulite reduction or other purposes, can also be of…
Can radiofrequency or cavitation “melt” my BBL fat?
Brazilian butt lift surgery (BBL) enlarges and lifts the buttocks by adding volume, through the addition of fat. However, BBL does not improve cellulite neither it changes the quality of the skin in the slightest and for this reason many people choose RF treatment, for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, or cavitation treatment, for cellulite reduction. However, many people are afraid that either of those technologies may reduce the amount of fat added via the BBL procedure…
Learn how to treat cellulite and skin tightening with high frequency RF
After more than two decades of working with skin tightening and cellulite removal and after assessing all the relevant technologies I can state that properly applied deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the most effective SAFE skin tightening technology (there are other skin tightening technologies but they are either ineffective and/or unsafe). Deep, strong radiofrequency is also the jointly most effective SAFE cellulite reduction technology (again, there are other skin tightening technologies but they are either ineffective and/or unsafe). Now there are different types of radiofrequency that can be used for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, according to frequency…
Natural butt lift with deep tissue radiofrequency treatments and gluteus maximus exercises
A Brazilian bum: everyone would like to have one, yet few would be prepared to go for surgery to achieve it, hence the popularity of so many “non-surgical bum lift treatments”. Lack of exercise, excess calorie intake, sugar intake, sitting down for long periods of time and normal ageing, all result in skin looseness, the accumulation of excess fat, cellulite and water retention on the buttock area. The result is a saggy bottom with puffy, spongy skin…

How does infrared / red light therapy work?
Energy in every single cell of the human body is produced in specialised cell compartments called mitochondria. Mitochondria is where oxygen is utilised to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell. If mitochondria malfunction then the whole cell malfunctions and underperforms. On the skin, this can lead to aesthetic problems (dull, irritated, inflamed or unhealthy skin). In other organs and tissues this can lead to a poorer state of health, lower energy levels, slower recovery from injuries etc…
How long should a radiofrequency / cavitation session be?
Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the strongest SAFE treatment for cellulite reduction and skin tightening. However, even with the best treatment in the world, a protracted amount of time is needed to provide tissues with sufficient stimulation and effect change. So treatment duration for a high quality, strong RF treatment is 20-40’ per side, per area…

A list of the most effective cellulite treatments - in real life, not in the virtual reality of social media
As most women know by experience, most cellulite treatments simply do not work. And when we say they don't work, we mean that they either do not work at all or that they offer so poor results that you would need 20, 30 or 50 sessions to be happy with the results. Here we will review the best treatments, according to effectiveness (more effective treatments are presented first, ineffective treatments are presented last)…
Radiofrequency treatment is like massage: each therapist does it differently
Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the best and safest non-surgical skin tightening treatment and the joint best/safest cellulite reduction treatment (together with deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation) and far more effective and safe than the undeservedly hyped-up HIFU or RF microneedling. Because radiofrequency treatment is provided with a machine, most people think that all treatments with a specific machine are provided identically and as a result they embark on “researching” what is the best RF machine on the web - as well as on instagram and tiktok 😂...
What is Stage 3 cellulite treatment?
There is no such thing as Stage 3 cellulite treatment. Someone simply made it up for marketing purposes. Treatment for cellulite is exactly the same at all stages - and aims to act on all major aspects of Cellulite - at all stages, from Stage 1 to Stage 4: reduce hypodermal fat accumulation; break down fibrosis; improve circulation and lymphatic…

Targeting the SMAS with HIFU / RF microneedling / radiofrequency ruined my face: learn why
Everyone interested in facial anti-ageing these days is talking about the SMAS. Suddenly everyone is an (ignorant) “expert” in the SMAS, just like everyone interested in cellulite or massage suddenly became an (ignorant) “expert” in all things fascia a few years ago. But what is the SMAS, why is everyone talking about it and why is it not such a great idea to target it non-surgically?
Does cavitation tighten loose skin?
High-power ultrasound cavitation is one of the two most effective SAFE methods for cellulite reduction, especially when provided by a well-trained, experienced and knowledgable therapist. Normally cavitation is not recommended for skin tightening, as it only exerts a weak skin tightening effect, when applied as usual…
