radiofrequency for cellulite

Skin ligaments and cellulite

Skin ligaments and cellulite

Cellulite appears due to the action of enlarged fat globules pushing skin upwards and shortened collagen fibre bundles pulling skin downwards. These collagen fibre bundles are not bothersome, unnecessary for the body tissues that need to be cut out so that fat can perpetually expand upwards without hindrance. These fibres are known to anatomists as retinaculae cutis*, i.e. skin ligaments, and they are there, as all ligaments, to keep two parts of connective tissue attached…

How often should I have cavitation treatment?

How often should I have cavitation treatment?

Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the two best technologies for both cellulite removal and skin tightening. With a high-power setup, the optimum frequency for treatments is twice a week, with a two or three day gap between sessions. The 2-3 day gap allows for recovery between sessions, which means maximum intensity can be used during treatment (in the few cases where deep, strong treatment is provided)…

Radiofrequency / cavitation: gel, cream, serum or oil? When to use each conductive medium.

“Radiofrequency” is an all encompassing term for treatment with different types of high frequency electrical currents. Different machines utilise different frequencies, from an extra low of 300kHz to an extra high of 5GHz. The types of physical phenomena at play on those different machines are quite different…

Radiofrequency for cellulite and skin tightening: 22 things you need to know

Radio frequency is simply high frequency electricity. Low frequency electricity can make your muscles contract, even at low intensities. This is used in physiotherapy for musculoskeletal treatment and for pain reduction. A good example of this is EMS, or electrical muscle stimulation / TENS devices/treatments. On the other hand, very high frequency electricity (>300kHz) when applied on the body produces just heat…
