One of the reasons that cellulite develops is the breakdown of connective tissue in the hypodermis, either due to the action of the female hormonal cycle or due to inactivity (or both). Weak connective tissue manifests as skin looseness…

There are many iterations of radiofrequency technology for aesthetic treatments, depending on how the technology is applied. So we may have bipolar vs monopolar RF, capacitive vs resistive, destructive vs stimulating, low frequency vs high frequency etc. In this article we are discussing the distinction between capacitive and resistive radio frequency and how it can affect the depth, quality and safety of treatment offered…

With any effective body treatment, it is good to leave one, two or more days between sessions in order to allow for the skin to recover. So with a deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency treatment, you must leave at least 2-3 days between sessions. With ineffective, low power RF treatments, you can leave less time between sessions (as little…

The main thing that radiofrequency does is to tighten skin. This happens via two mechanisms: RF stimulates existing collagen contraction; RF stimulates new collagen and elastin synthesis. In fact radiofrequency is the best way to achieve both collagen contraction and production. Any other technique is simply not effective enough, unsafe or both.
When it comes to skin tightening / toning / lifting, radiofrequency is the only game in town.

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…
