Apparently the BBL era is now over and the most dangerous cosmetic procedure is now on the wane. Big butts are gradually going out of fashion and a slimmer, or at least more balanced look, is now the new trend. The Kardashians are reported to have apparently reversed their BBLs - although they never admitted them in the first place and although millions of women around the world copied the non-admitted BBLs…
Microneedling radiofrequency is based on damaging skin with both excessive high intensity RF and the actual needles, hoping cellulite fat tissue will be broken and dissolved and that skin will repair itself and build scar tissue, which will will to skin tightening. As it aims to cause damage, this technique is inherently…
However, each specific case comes with a set of problems, requirements and different tissue types that would benefit more from ultrasound cavitation, radiofrequency or a mix of those techniques: cellulite type (deep vs superficial, hard vs soft etc); cellulite severity; connective tissue fibrosis; skin sensitivity; skin laxity; subcutaneous tissue depth; surface area to be treated…
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…

Emsculpt® is the original and still the best muscle building, toning and lifting technology available. For this reason, at LipoTherapeia we only use the original and best BTL Emsculpt equipment.

Many women would like to reduce cellulite in their buttocks but, as cellulite is partially a fat issue, they are afraid of losing fat/volume on their bum that area, which is totally understandable. The main technologies recommended for cellulite reduction are radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, HIFU, acoustic wave therapy and radiofrequency microneedling. While some of these techniques are more effective or more safe than others, the fact is that in the wrong hands and with the wrong equipment any of these techniques can indeed reduce subcutaneous adipose tissue (what people call ‘fat’)…

In today’s Western world people consume not only too much saturated, hydrogenated or fried fats/oils, which are widely accepted as unhealthy. Such oils*, especially hydrogenated and fried fats/oils, are known to cause anything from heart disease to cancer to arthritis and of course overall aging, including skin aging and cellulite. Something which is generally unknown to most people is that we also consume too much omega-6 polyunsaturated oils, which are found literally everywhere: from processed foods, condiments, pastry and desserts to meat and chicken…
One recurring theme in the last 25 years I work cellulite reduction and skin tightening is lack of protein. Skin is made of the proteins collagen and elastin so a low protein diet will unavoidable lead to skin laxity and cellulite. Regardless of what diet you follow it is important to take enough protein and polyphenols (found in vegetables, fruits and herbs) and exercise regularly to maintain your elastin and collagen levels in your body. Luckily in the last 10 years things started to change in young women but the message has not reached yet most 40+ women. Read more…

We had a question by a website visitor a few weeks ago: “Thank you for your ‘Acoustic wave therapy for cellulite: does it work?’ page. What about lipedema (lipoedema)? If it doesn't work on soft fat, what about the hard fat that forms from lipedema? I have lipoedema, as do 1/10 women. I'm not sure what stage, as doctors don't know much about it. Just wondering if you have tried AWT on lipedema, as there is no research so far.” I have to say this is a very smart question and (unless ones has specifically studied the anatomy of adipose tissue and the science of AWT) makes a lot of sense. However, the devil is always in the detail. So let’s look at the details.
This is a very common question that we hear at the clinic and also a very common question all over the internet. People believe the beauty industry marketing hype and all the extra extraordinary miracle claims, and then, when those claims do not materialise, they get disappointed. Well, after seeing literally thousands of clients over more than two decades, and after researching the subject continuously for the last 20+ years, let me put it as clearly, as honestly and as bluntly…
Unless cellulite is very recent and/or very little (pre-cellulite or Stage 1) it does not go away on its own, with a non-surgical treatment or with surgery (especially not with surgery). This is because by the time cellulite is noticeable by most people (Stage 2) permanent, non-reversible changes have occurred in the connective tissue under the skin. So don’t believe the smooth operators who promise for “cellulite to go away”. With cellulite that has been around for some time or it is Stage 2, 3 or 4, it is about reducing it to about…
Many nutrients are touted as “anti-cellulite” or “good for skin” or “circulation boosters”, but few actually deliver. One of those select nutrients is resveratrol, together with its more absorbable, more potent ‘cousin’, pterostilbene. In this article we summarise the benefits of those nutrients and the foods that contain them.
You may have seen the terms adipolysis and lipolysis in marketing blurb of different cellulite / fat reduction treatments or even in scientific literature. And you may have correctly got the general impression that they both mean fat loss. But if they both mean fat reduction, why the two different words? The answer is: because those two words mean actually two different things.
A diet that can help prevent or improve most or all of those changes, is the ideal cellulite diet. The diet components described below - always together with exercise / physical activity - address all seven facets of cellulite. As the same things that cause cellulite are also responsible for most whole body / skin ageing and degenerative diseases of the Western world, the ideal anti-cellulite diet is also the ideal healthy / anti-ageing diet…
Estrogen is the most important cause of cellulite. In fact it is the basis of cellulite. Without estrogen you may get weight gain and/or skin looseness, but you won’t cellulite - and that’s why men* don’t get cellulite. Yes, in addition to estrogen you do need to consume excess calories / eat unhealthily etc, but you need estrogen to turn those excess calories into…
The ketogenic diet is one of the most popular diets, used for weight loss and to help manage specific health conditions (diabetes, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and more). The ketogenic diet involves consuming a very small - to negligible - amount of carbohydrates, in order to lower glucose and insulin levels and lead to the production of ketones by the body. In the absence of glucose from carbohydrates the body produces ketones, which provide energy to the brain and other organs in glucose’s place...

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

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.
