How does ultrasound cavitation reduce cellulite ...

Ultrasound-induced cavitation is a phenomenon that occurs when high-intensity sound waves are used on certain tissues, such as human skin. When the intensity of the sound waves is strong enough, it can create small gas bubbles in the tissue. These bubbles can then quickly collapse, releasing energy in the form of heat and force. Research has shown that this process can reduce the amount of fat and shrink the size of fat cells in the skin.

Can radiofrequency dissolve fillers or botox?

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…

How often can you have radiofrequency treatment ...

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…

What is better for cellulite, RF or cavitation?

Let’s see first how each technology works and in which cases it works best. Deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation works by disrupting fat cells mechanically (ultrasound is sound, ie mechanical waves), as well as via heat. This leads to lipolysis (fat release from fat cells) as well as adipocyte apoptosis (accelerated fat cell death)…

Why do I still have cellulite after liposuction?

Why do I still have cellulite after liposuction?

I have recently had liposuction and still have cellulite - how it this possible? It is possible simply because liposuction does not remove cellulite (hypodermal fat), it removes fat (subcutaneous fat), as it is actually supposed to do. Cellulite is superficial fat which is enmeshed into your skin and thereby it cannot be removed surgically (unless you want your skin to be removed). Liposuction, on the other hand, removes deeper fat (subcutaneous adipose tissue) which is located UNDER your skin and UNDER the cellulite layer (hypodermal adipose tissue). These are two different types of fat and two different depths…

Can I have gluten whilst receiving your cellulite treatments?

Can I have gluten whilst receiving your cellulite treatments?

Gluten is a secondary cause of cellulite, well below in order of importance from the main cellulite causes: sugar, fried food, excess card and excess fat consumption; too few vegetables, herbs, spices, berries and protein; alcohol, smoking/vaping, hormonal contraception; inactivity. So although gluten may…

Why this is the best cellulite treatment in London

Why this is the best cellulite treatment in London

By definition, the best cellulite treatment would be one where: the best possible technologies for cellulite removal are used for treatment; treatment is provided by highly trained and experienced therapists, who know exactly what they are doing and how to make the most of advanced technologies; the focus of the clinic is on using that best technologies and those best skills in order to provide the best possible outcome for the client, not just on profit maximisation. Let’s have a look at those points in more detail…

Your cellulite treatments are so long, why is that?

Your cellulite treatments are so long, why is that?

Your cellulite treatments are so long, e.g. your full thigh and buttock treatment is 100 minutes. Why is that? Because we don’t cut corners. We are aware that some clinics, with much inferior equipment, treat the back of thighs in 20 minutes and in a similar amount of time the front of thighs, for a total of 40 minutes for the entire thighs and buttocks. That’s good for those clinic, as they make the maximum amount of money per minute but not very good for their clients, who obviously don’t get any results. At LipoTherapeia, despite using the strongest equipment and treatment protocols in the world, we spend 2.5x more time, i.e. 100 minutes for the entire thighs and buttocks or 50 minutes for each side…

Why we now use red and infrared light therapy for all our cellulite treatments

At our clinic, we incorporate red and infrared light therapy into all our cellulite treatments, not as a standalone solution but as a vital enhancer of our core technologies. While red and infrared light therapy alone cannot significantly reduce cellulite, it plays a crucial role in amplifying the effectiveness of deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency (RF) and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, complemented by healthy nutrition and exercise…

Our LipoTherapeia cellulite treatments combine deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation with high-power LED phototherapy. Both deep, strong radiofrequency and deep, strong ultrasound help with cellulite reduction, while high-power red/infrared light therapy helps maximise radiofrequency’s and ultrasound’s results (We keep insisting on the terms “high-power” because the low-power versions of these technologies, found in many salons and clinics, simply do not work.) Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the gold standard technology for SAFE and effective skin tightening…

Infrared and red light therapy after ultrasound cavitation treatment

At the clinic we use ultrasound cavitation for cellulite reduction, focused with great precision on the hypodermis and dermis, leaving the epidermis alone, as it should be for this application. And we use LED red light therapy, mainly in the infrared wavelength, to maximise the results of our deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation treatments. It is now firmly established that infrared and red light therapy boosts mitochondrial function and thus cellular energy, and we have observed that when applied following cavitation treatment, it significantly improves the outcomes of cavitation for cellulite reduction…

Pilates, weight training, running and inflammation

Pilates, weight training, running and inflammation

A client asked me a few days ago if this “advice”, given to her by a complementary health practitioner, is true: “You should not do any other exercise than Pilates, otherwise you will inflame your body”. This, of course, is an absolutely preposterous statement which goes against all common sense. You can only imagine the millions of inflamed athletes - or just billions of inflamed active common people - since the dawn of humanity all the way until the 1920s, when Joseph Pilates developed a method of exercise that would not inflame the human body…

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.

Most herbal teas, or tisanes, being botanical extracts of herbs, spices, flowers, fruits, or roots rich in phytochemicals (antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-glycation, anti-fibrotic, anti-lipogenic, collagen-boosting, circulation-enhancing and other bioactive compounds), are great for cellulite prevention primarily but can also contribute to cellulite reduction too. The following two lists are roughly ordered by significance, based on the presence of phytochemicals with anti-cellulite properties…

Natural butt lift with deep tissue radiofrequency treatments and gluteus maximus exercises

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…

Fibrosis reduction with radiofrequency or RF microneedling: does it work?

Fibrosis reduction with radiofrequency or RF microneedling: does it work?

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…

Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the strongest SAFE treatment for cellulite reduction and skin tightening.

So treatment duration for a high quality, strong RF treatment is 20-40’ per side, per area…

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 😂...

Western diet, civilisation diseases and cellulite

Western diet, civilisation diseases and cellulite

A 2019 paper published in the journal ‘Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy’, examined the profound impact of Western diets and lifestyles on the global epidemic of obesity, and chronic non-infectious degenerative conditions, collectively termed "civilisation diseases" - to which we might incllude the aesthetic condition of cellulite, as the exact same causes of civilisation diseases also result in cellulite development. These conditions/diseases include type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular diseases (CVD), cancer, autoimmune disorders, Alzheimer’s disease, and others. The paper argues that these conditions (to which we include cellulite), are rare or absent…

Why does my cellulite look worse in the summer?

Why does my cellulite look worse in the summer?

The single more important reason for cellulite looking worse in the summer is water retention. Water retention, one of the seven aspects of cellulite, can become worse in the heat of the summer due to vasodilation. In turn, water retention makes the cellulite “bumps” to become enlarged and thighs and buttocks, in general, to become puffy. Water retention can also lead to increased low grade inflammation, another one of the seven aspects of cellulite (the other five being fat accumulation, skin laxity, fibrosis, oxidative damage and glycation)….

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.
