Are radiofrequency and ultrasound the same thing?

RF and ultrasound cavitation are two totally different things.

However, people confuse them, as quite often these technologies are combined, for better efficacy.

• Radiofrequency is HiGH FREQUENCY ELECTRICAL CURRENTS that aim to stimulate both skin tightening and also cellulite reduction. So radiofrequency is electricity.

• Ultrasound cavitation is HIGH FREQUENCY SOUNDWAVES and aims to stimulate cellulite fat/reduction - and in specific cases skin tightening too. So ultrasound is well, as the name suggests, sound.

What is better for skin tightening, ultrasound or radiofrequency?

As mentioned above, for skin tightening, radiofrequency is almost always better, as long as radiofrequency is:

• High power

• Deep acting

• Provided by a well-trained, experienced and knowledgable therapist

(Unfortunately most radiofrequency/ultrasound operators only receive one day's training - and zero training in the science of cellulite.)

With the right setup, however, ultrasound cavitation can also be used for skin tightening.

What is better for cellulite, ultrasound or radiofrequency?

For cellulite reduction - and depending on each individual case - either radiofrequency or ultrasound cavitation can be better, again as long the treatment is of high power, deep acting and provided by an experienced therapist.

• Sometimes the combination of both ultrasound and radiofrequency is better for cellulite, but not always

• Sometimes one technology only will offer better results than the combination of both

It all depends on equipment, individual client needs and therapist experience.
