Can radiofrequency or cavitation “melt” my BBL ...

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…

Does radiofrequency cause hyperpigmentation?

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…

Learn how to treat cellulite and skin ...

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 ...

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…

Fibrosis reduction with radiofrequency or RF ...

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…

How to tighten up your skin naturally

How to tighten up your skin naturally

Thousands of pages can be filled with information about the theory and practice of skin tightening but it all boils down to six crucial points: plenty of protein; impactful physical activity; polyphenols, carotenoids and vitamin C; deep-acting, high-power radio frequency; no crash dieting / yoyo dieting; no sugar, smoking or fried food. Now let’s examine these six points in more detail…

Strong, deep tissue radiofrequency is resistance exercise for your skin

Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency provided under at intensity just under the pain threshold is the most effective SAFE skin tightening and cellulite reduction treatment available today (superficial or low-power RF doesn’t work). Radiofrequency works by stimulating collagen contraction, collagen cell proliferation, collagen and elastin…

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 😂...

How many RF treatments are needed to see results?

With proper, deep-acting, high-power radio frequency, provided under the pain threshold, clients typically experience some immediate skin contraction, which sometimes is quite impressive. This contraction is brought about by the effect of heat on fibroblasts (collagen cells), which contract the skin’s collagen network…

Capacitive RF vs resistive RF for skin tightening and cellulite

Capacitive RF vs resistive RF for skin tightening and cellulite

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…

How often can you do radiofrequency skin tightening on stomach, thighs or face?

How often can you do radiofrequency skin tightening on stomach, thighs or face?

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…

Targeting the SMAS with HIFU / RF microneedling / radiofrequency ruined my face: learn why

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?

Radiofrequency, collagen stimulation and skin tightening

Radiofrequency, collagen stimulation and skin tightening

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.

Can radiofrequency dissolve Botox or fillers?

Can radiofrequency dissolve Botox or fillers?

Radiofrequency increases the metabolism of tissues where it is applied. Increased metabolism will result to increased breakdown of products such as fillers and botox. Furthermore, certain types of radiofrequency, such as high frequency RF, should not be used on fillers, as temperature may increase disproportionately inside the filler, potentially causing damage…

RF / cavitation: gel, cream, serum, glycerol or oil? Which conductive medium is best?

“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

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…

Where does fat go after cavitation treatment?

Where does fat go after cavitation treatment?

This is a common question at the clinic: “If fat is removed from a stubborn fat area / cellulite tissue with radiofrequency and/or ultrasound cavitation, where does the fat go?” Due to massive internet misinformation, many people think that a treatment, ANY treatment, can eliminate fat there and then. However, as we know from physics matter cannot be eliminated like that - except with a nuclear reaction, which is not a good idea…

Genuine, AI-free content

This website is human-written 100%. We do not use Chat-GPT or any other AI tool for our pages and articles to bombard you with low quality, copy-paste spam articles and inaccurate information.

Chat-GPT and similar tools copy the web to regurgitate meaningless lowest common denominator platitudes, i.e. generally accepted myths that often have nothing to do with reality. Plus plenty of inaccuracies, misinformation and a healthy added dose of literally made up stuff - what AI experts call “AI hallucinations”.

No AI tool has the depth of experience accumulated over tens of thousands of sessions with real human beings (in fact, AI tools have zero experience, obviously). Neither can an AI tool discriminate what is reality and what is made up BS on the web.

Of course, the aesthetics industry is already full of myths, inaccuracies, platitudes and hallucinations anyway, so the advent of AI does not make much of a difference. The beauty industry has always been full of BS (sorry, that’s the correct word), AI or no AI.

So 24+ years on, we still keep it real, regardless of AI.

Disclaimers

Efficacy: As with any medical / aesthetic treatment or skin product, results vary from person to person depending on lifestyle, genetics and state of health (how each individual body responds to treatment), so specific results can never be guaranteed.

Safety: Our treatments have proven 99%+ safe over the last 14+ years (with minor/temporary irritation occurring in the other 1%- of treatments). However, as with any medical/aesthetic treatment or skin product, sensitivity varies from person to person, and from time to time even on the same person, depending on lifestyle, genetics and state of health (how each individual body responds to a treatment at a specific time), so we cannot guarantee 100% safety.
