Imagine the following scenario, something which I hear about all too often from my clients: you wake up one morning and suddenly realise that someone has "painted cellulite" all over your thighs, calves, arms and sometimes even stomach…

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…

Pigmentation occurs either as a result of UV exposure (sun, sunbed) or as a result of inflammation (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation). Treatments such as laser, radiofrequency, infrared, ultrasound, plasma skin resurfacing, radiofrequency microneedling, HIFU etc can only cause hyperpigmentation as a result of inflammation. When a treatment, such as the above, is delivered at extreme intensity, either by mistake or by design, the epidermis is burned, damaged or irritated, leading to inflammation, which quite often results in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation…

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…

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…

Over the last 24+ years I have seen countless clients with post cosmetic surgery fibrosis - and even after harsh non-surgical procedures and as such procedures become more and more popular, the number of people with fibrosis increases. Body cosmetic surgery (such as liposuction, cellulaze, vaser, smart lipo etc) as well as harsh non-surgical treatments (such as RF microneedling, extreme intensity HIFU, cryolipolysis, extreme intensity radiofrequency etc) can result in fibrotic lumps or entire fibrotic regions of hard skin around the stomach, thighs, buttocks etc. Fibrosis refers to previously inflamed hardened skin or other connective tissue (or even hard lumps) comprising of scar tissue-type, randomly aligned collagen fibres. This is in contrast to firm, healthy skin, which is comprised of functional, properly aligned collagen fibres. This is sometimes the result of a surgeon doing a bad job; sometimes the result of your body reacting really badly to even the best surgeon’s work; and sometimes the procedure itself being unsafe. After all that I have seen over the decades, I would never undergo…
