“I have been practising cellulite reduction for 25+ years now and this is a question which no client fails to ask: can I exercise after my radiofrequency treatment? And the answer is, yes, please, if you have a stimulative RF treatment (such as what we offer). However, things are different if you choose to have RF microneedling or other destructive RF treatment. Read more below...”
Working out after radiofrequency or RF microneedling treatment
Can you workout after a radiofrequency treatment for skin tightening/cellulite?
With destructive RF treatments it is not safe to exercise afterwards
No special gains when you have low power radiofrequency, but at least they are safe to exercise after

Can you workout after a radiofrequency treatment for skin tightening/cellulite?
Absolutely. You can do any exercise you want before or after treatment.
In fact, if you are having RF for cellulite reduction, vigorous exercise right before or right after your treatment will increase the effectiveness of the treatment.
This is because the noradrenaline produced during exercise will maximise the lipolysis (fat release) stimulated by the treatment.
Even fast walking will help, but running, cycling, fast swimming etc are even better.
Even exercise a few hours before/after will help, but exercising right before or right after treatment is ideal.
With destructive RF treatments it is not safe to exercise afterwards
The rule above applies to deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency, i.e. strong, effective and safe RF which is provided without anaesthesia and which aims to STIMULATE natural processes in your skin.
However, if you are having DESTRUCTIVE radiofrequency treatment (which aims to burn your skin inside hoping that your skin will regenerate and improve later, and which requires numbing cream or numbing injections), chances are that you skin will be too sensitive (even burned) after treatment. So exercising right after such treatment is not a good idea at all.
For example, if you are having RF microneedling (a destructive RF treatment) on body areas where there may be friction during exercise, you’d better stay off exercise for a few days, as your skin may be quite raw after that treatment (the same applies to plain microneedling).
In fact, it is not a good idea to have a destructive RF treatment AT ALL, as the very common adverse reactions are not worth the modest results, which can be easily achieved or superseded by safe deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency.
No special gains when you have low power radiofrequency, but at least it is safe to exercise after
If you are having superficial or low power radiofrequency treatment, this will not lead to much lipolysis (meaning it will not be that effective in the first place).
But at least you can have exercise afterwards, provided your skin is not sensitive (some superficial RF treatments can still burn the skin, even if they are of low power, if applied on the same spot for a long time).
LipoTherapeia® Plus: Have a skin tightening/cellulite treatment with London’s 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.

Skin laxity
Lipedema
Subcutaneous fat levels
You can also assess the presence and severity of fibrosis and adhesions after:
Liposuction in all its forms, including vaser, smart lipo, bodytite, abdominoplasty/tummy tuck, thigh lift, arm lift, lipedema surgery etc
Cellulite surgery, such as cellulaze, cellutite, cellfina, subcision etc
Face-lift surgery
Non-surgical procedures, such as RF microneedling, extreme intensity HIFU, extreme intensity RF, extreme intensity ultrasound etc
Everything will be shown and explained to you clearly and you can see and understand how the different structures inside your skin affect your appearance.
If there is scar tissue / fibrosis, those will be clearly seen and you can differentiate between fibrosis, water retention or unremoved fat after all types of cosmetic surgery or harsh non-surgical procedures such as RF microneedling, extreme intensity HIFU etc.
