“Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is by far the most effective SAFE body and face skin tightening and cellulite reduction technology. Other techniques exist but they are highly problematic and not even more effective than properly applied radiofrequency with high-end equipment and science-based protocols. And this is the reason we use this technology at LipoTherapeia and we specialise in it. With 15+ years’ experience and 14,000+ body and face RF sessions delivered we consider ourselves experts in radiofrequency for cellulite and skin tightening.”

Advanced radiofrequency treatments for effective skin tightening and cellulite reduction
Skin looseness and cellulite are major aesthetic concerns, especially after the age of 30. There are many treatments suggested for skin tightening/lifting and cellulite reduction, the vast majority of which either don’t work, have a high rate of adverse reactions or both.
When provided by a well-trained, experienced and knowledgable therapist, deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the most effective SAFE* skin tightening/lifting technology available for the body and face.
And together with deep-acting, high-power ultrasound, it is also most effective SAFE cellulite reduction technology too.
(* Strong, deep tissue radio frequency is far more effective and safe than hyped-up gimmicks such as HIFU, RF microneedling, acoustic wave therapy (AWT), and of course far better than either low-power RF or the very superficial bipolar/tripolar RF).

How does radiofrequency work?
How does deep tissue radiofrequency work for skin tightening, anti-ageing and cellulite removal?
Radiofrequency is a technology that aims to provide deep heat inside the skin, as opposed to a hot shower, a hot pack or an infrared-emitting device, all of which provide superficial heat on the surface of the skin.
RF is used to stimulate processes in the dermis and hypodermis (second and third skin layers, respectively), while at the same time not overheating the epidermis (as is the case with a hot shower, a hot pack or an infrared device).
That’s the aim theoretically. In practice, most RF treatments provide too much superficial heat on the epidermis and so they miss the whole point. Plus most RF treatments are too weak to confer any significant benefit either.
The information below is about real radiofrequency, i.e. high-power, deep-acting RF, which if applied by a well-trained, experienced and knowledgable therapist can provide deep, intensive heating, SAFELY.
The intense heat produced by high-power, deep-acting radiofrequency on the hypodermis and dermis has 5 benefits:
RF stimulates fat release (lipolysis) from fat cells/adipocytes. This gradually leads to smaller cellulite bumps, over 6-12 sessions (you cannot effect fat reduction immediately or with just one session).
RF stimulates programmed fat cell death (adipocyte apoptosis). This gradually leads to smaller cellulite bumps, over 6-12 sessions (you cannot effect fat reduction immediately or with just one session).
RF stimulates collagen contraction of existing collagen. This means tighter, more lifted skin, both immediately (with one session) and long-term, over 6-12 sessions.
RF stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis in collagen cells (fibroblasts). This means long-lasting skin tightness and lifting, over 6-12 sessions (you cannot achieve collagen synthesis immediately).
RF intensely stimulates circulation and lymphatic drainage on the area it is applied, which removes fat molecules from the area without the need of any lymphatic massage or pressotherapy. This effect is immediate.
All together, these 5 actions lead to cellulite removal (on the body) and skin tightening/lifting/anti-ageing (on both face and body), all at once.
This means that with deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency you don’t need to have a separate treatment for cellulite and another one for skin tightening on the body.
Neither do you need a lymphatic massage afterwards to boost circulation.
However, combining strong, deep tissue RF with strong, deep tissue ultrasound cavitation maximises results with cellulite removal.
The mix of the two technologies is determined by the individualities of each client’s skin and by the aesthetic outcome sought: cellulite priority, skin tightening priority or equal importance of both.

What about superficially-acting or low-power radiofrequency?
With superficially-acting and/or low-power treatments you just waste your time: temperature may be high on the epidermis (wrong skin layer to target) but it never increases to a therapeutic level in the hypodermis, due to too superficial action and/or too low power. So not much happens.
An RF treatment can be superficial or low-power:
either due to poor equipment choice
or due to poor use of equipment, i.e. poor training, wrong protocols, poor understanding of the physics of radiofrequency etc

Benefit from the best combination of radiofrequency equipment and treatment protocols in London
At LipoTherapeia we specialise only in body/face skin tightening and cellulite reduction with radiofrequency, ultrasound and red/infrared phototherapy. So you are guaranteed to have RF treatment with the best.
LipoTherapeia® Plus is the strongest SAFE skin tightening and cellulite treatment available, skilfully applied without compromises or cut corners, for maximum results, naturally.
LipoTherapeia® Plus comprises 5 exclusive elements:
Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency, the most effective SAFE cellulite reduction technology, with the best equipment currently available
Deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, the second most effective SAFE cellulite reduction technology, with the best equipment currently available
High-power LED phototherapy, to maximise and enhance the effects of our high-power, deep-acting radiofrequency and ultrasound, with the best equipment currently available
Advanced treatment protocols, based on actual Physics and the Anatomy & Physiology of cellulite, in order to make the most of these technologies (this is in contrast to the usual one-day training on some basics of how to use the machine, which is the norm at almost all salons and clinics that offer cellulite treatments - including cosmetic surgery practises)
Treatment based on more than two decades of experience, study and research in cellulite and skin tightening, with more than 23,000+ treatments and 4,100+ cases (including 14+ years and 13,000+ high-power, deep-acting radiofrequency and cavitation treatments)
A PAINLESS, realistically priced and effective technology, LipoTherapeia® Plus has a 99.5%+ safety rate at our clinic, as it is based on naturally stimulating collagen production, hypodermal fat release and circulation/lymphatic drainage - not on burning the skin inside, as some procedures aim.
In addition to cellulite reduction, the technologies comprising LipoTherapeia® Plus also have a profound effect on skin tightness* as well as a beneficial effect on stretch marks. So you get a combined benefit by the use of these technologies.
(*In fact, deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the gold standard technology for SAFE and effective skin tightening.)
In most cases of cellulite / skin laxity we recommend 6-12 sessions for best results (there are no miracle treatments that reduce cellulite in 1-4 sessions).

The only aesthetic practice in London that specialises 100% in skin tightening & cellulite removal
Most aesthetic clinics offer 20, 30, even 50 different treatments, from laser hair removal to fillers to chemical peels to cellulite, and thereby lose specialisation and expertise.
A jack of all trades therapist or clinic cannot possibly be experts in 20, 30 or 50 different treatments. It is physically impossible to follow the science and all the latest developments in 50, 30 or even 20 fields.
And it is impossible to be an expert in an aesthetic condition, if you never study and practise with focus and depth the science of that aesthetic condition.
So at LipoTherapeia we only focus 100% on cellulite reduction and skin tightening - nothing else.
We do not do botox, fillers, chemical peels, dermablading, microdermabrasion, waxing, nails, fluffy facials, laser hair removal and the like: just cellulite reduction and skin tightening with the best ultrasound, radiofrequency and LED phototherapy technologies in the world (no exaggeration). And we have a deep knowledge of these five subjects - for your benefit.
