“I have studied the anatomy and physiology of adipose tissue and cellulite for more than two decades and can safely say that, as long as you are receiving a proper, safe radiofrequency or cavitation treatment, it is not just safe but it is helpful to exercise right before or right after treatment, if you can. Below I am explaining the rationale for the combination of exercise and RF/cavitation treatment for cellulite reduction. On the other hand, it is usually not a good idea to exercise after destructive RF treatments, such as ablative RF or RF microneedling.”

Can I exercise before or after my radiofrequency / cavitation treatment for cellulite reduction?
For cellulite reduction, it would actually be amazing if you could exercise right before or right after a deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency or cavitation treatment.
Or why not, exercise both before and after!
The reason for this is simple. A strong, deep-acting radiofrequency or ultrasound cavitation treatment stimulates lipolysis in the hypodermis, i.e. the release of fat from fat cells in the “cellulite layer”.
If you can also provide a stimulus for lipolysis with your own noradrenaline, then you have a double lipolysis whammy. Noradrenaline happens to be the strongest natural lipolytic substance known and the best way to produce it is exercise - vigorous, if possible.
So if you exercise right before or right after exercise you get enhanced lipolysis, therefore more fat release, therefore more cellulite reduction.
So, yes, get out there and exercise after a deep, strong radiofrequency treatment.
Should I exercise after an RF skin tightening treatment?
For skin tightening, exercising before or after treatment is irrelevant, but you can still do so if you wish.
Exercise after a low power or a superficial RF/cavitation treatment
Whether you do exercise or not after a superficial and/or low power RF treatment is irrelevant, as not much (if any) lipolysis will occur during treatment.
Exercise after RF microneedling, deep microneedling or HIFU
Destructive (i.e. extreme intensity) treatments, such as RF microneedling, deep microneedling, extreme intensity RF or extreme intensity HIFU, produce a lot of adverse reactions and not much in the way of body skin tightening or cellulite reduction) and can leave your skin raw, inflamed and prone to infection.
After such treatment you may not be able to do many things, depending on the damage/adverse reactions that occur from that kind of treatment.
However, as we would never offer such an unsafe and quite honestly unnecessarily barbaric treatments, there is not point giving advice for their adverse reactions. If you wish to know more about what is safe and what is not after having such treatments, please ask the providers of such treatments
(With our deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and high-power ultrasound cavitation we have zero downtime and 99.5% safety, so clients can do anything they want, right after treatment, including exercise.)
Have a treatment in London with the cellulite experts
At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
(Of course, we keep looking for new technologies every day and if/when a better technology materialises we will be the first to provide it. However, we will never follow the latest ineffective gimmick, just because it’s good marketing to offer the latest hyped up - yet ineffective and/or unsafe treatment.)
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.
The Cellulite School™: Get advanced training in cellulite reduction and skin tightening
Why train with The Cellulite School™?
We all know that training in cellulite reduction and skin tightening is as basic as it gets. It is typically a 4-6 hour training, involving only basic instruction from the manufacturer on how operators can use the machine; lots of myths, erroneous information and misconceptions; and some basic health and safety on how to use the machine.
There is no proper, real training in the science or cellulite, skin tightening, radiofrequency, ultrasound and all related technologies is non-existent - worldwide.
Do you want to deeply understand radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, LED phototherapy, cellulite and skin tightening?
Get proper training based on 25-year theory and practical application of cellulite reduction and valuable insights from 24,000+ sessions and 4,200+ clients.
Now you can get instant access to our expertise and save yourself literally thousands of pounds, dollars or euros of expensive mistakes and thousands of hours of study, research and practical application by attending one of our half-day, 1-day, 2-day or 3-day professional consultancy / training courses.
