The electrical currents used for aesthetic and physiotherapy radiofrequency treatments (300 kHz to 5 GHz) happen to fall within the so called "radio frequency spectrum", i.e. the frequencies used for radio communications (3 kHz to 300 GHz)…

Are radiofrequency and ultrasound safe for dark ...

Unlike lasers, which work by heating melanin or other chromophores (light absorbing chemicals or structures inside the skin), radiofrequency works with electricity and ultrasound works mechanically, with sound.. The electrical properties of the skin are exactly the same in light skinned or dark skinned people, so skin colour plays no role in radiofrequency treatment (RF is basically high frequency electrical currents). In much the same way, the mechanical (acoustic) properties of the skin are exactly the same in light skinned…

Cryolipolysis vs radio frequency vs cavitation: ...

This is a common question at the clinic: “What is best, coolsculpting/cryolipolysis/fat freezing or radiofrequency?” However, as this question is very generic, it invites another question: “What is best for which outcome? For fat reduction, cellulite removal or skin tightening?”

How does radio frequency treatment feel? Is it ...

What you will feel when you have proper, i.e. high-power, deep-acting, radiofrequency treatment is mainly deep heat. If RF is properly applied, with the correct protocol, the right treatment medium and proper equipment, the surface of your skin (epidermis) will feel warm, while deep skin layers (hypodermis and dermis) will feel very hot…

Is radiofrequency skin tightening permanent?

Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is by far the best and safest cellulite reduction and skin tightening technology and typically can offer great results in 6-12 sessions. But do these results last for ever or would maintenance treatments be needed? This is one of the most common questions at the clinic so I will present the answers here in detail…

Menopause, perimenopause and cellulite

Menopause, perimenopause and cellulite

Menopause seems to affect women in multiple ways, none of which is good for cellulite. Firstly, collagen synthesis reduces with menopause, meaning a gradual collapse of the connective tissue which allows the hypodermal adipose globules to become more pronounced. The same effect leads to blood and lymphatic vessels weakening, leading to poorer circulation. Secondly, metabolism also reduces, allowing increased fat accumulation in the hypodermal adipose globules. This also makes cellulite more visible...

Soluble fibre and cellulite

Soluble fibre and cellulite

the richest foods in soluble fibre by far are ground or cracked chia seeds, flaxseeds and oats. During the last 25 years I have seen a lot of clients at our cellulite clinic who suffered from constipation and I have never seen anyone fail to stop constipation and be able to go to the toilet within 24 hours when they consumed two heaped tablespoons of chia seeds or ground flax seeds with two large glasses of water once or twice a day.

Centella asiatica / gotu kola skin benefits: what the research says

Centella asiatica / gotu kola skin benefits: what the research says

All the research on the anti-cellulite / skin anti-ageing action of the four centella asiatica triterpenes, in one place. Gotu kola (Centella asiatica) is probably the most important anti-cellulite, anti-ageing and skin healing herb, as it exerts a multifaceted action against all seven aspects of cellulite. In the last few months we have made a huge effort and collated and summarised 100+ research papers on centella asiatica / gotu kola’s action relative to cellulite and skin health.

Ozempic, GLP-1 and cellulite

Ozempic, GLP-1 and cellulite

The rise of current GLP-1 receptor agonist drugs, such as Ozempic/Wegovy and Mounjaro, and the development of new ones with less side effects and possible oral administration (as opposed to current injection), is poised to reduce the incidence of overweight and obesity. However, can Ozempic/Wegovy, Mounjaro et al eliminate the cellulite appearance?

Connective tissue fibrosis and cellulite: the facts and the urban myths

Connective tissue fibrosis and cellulite: the facts and the urban myths

Fibrosis is one of the most important aspects of cellulite, together with fat accumulation, water retention, inflammation and skin laxity. Fibrosis in cellulite refers to excess accumulation and contraction of collagen in the skin ligaments (retinaculae, also known as septae) that connect skin with the fascia underneath. Fibrosis occurs at the deepest skin layer called the hypodermis…

Why we now use red and infrared light therapy for all our cellulite treatments

At our clinic, we incorporate red and infrared light therapy into all our cellulite treatments, not as a standalone solution but as a vital enhancer of our core technologies.

Does lymphatic drainage massage work for cellulite?

Does lymphatic drainage massage work for cellulite?

Lymphatic massage must be the most overhyped proposed cellulite treatment, together with the pathetic dry brushing (😂) and coffee been scrubbing (😂😂), which, of course, don’t work. True, impaired microcirculation / lymphatic drainage is part of the cellulite problem, together with excessive hypodermal adipose tissue accumulation, skin laxity and connective tissue fibrosis. However, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage does NOT do ANYTHING for existing fibrosis, skin laxity or fat accumulation, the other three important structural aspects of cellulite. And when it comes to circulation / lymphatic drainage it only improves it temporarily, for a few hours or days…

Glycation, skin ageing and cellulite

Glycation, skin ageing and cellulite

Glycation is the attachment of sugars to proteins and lipids, leading to what are called ‘Advanced Glycation End-products’ (AGEs in shirt). The consequent damage of those proteins/lipids, especially collagen and elastin, leads to inflammation, free radical formation / oxidative damage and fibrosis, all of which accelerate aging…

Have a bum lift treatment the natural way: with radiofrequency, ultrasound, Emsculpt and red/infrared light therapy

Have a bum lift treatment the natural way: with radiofrequency, ultrasound, Emsculpt and red/infrared light therapy

Unfortunately many people are lured to undergo dangerous and highly invasive BBL surgery or unsafe hyaluronic acid / poly-L-lactic acid fillers in order to lift and shape their derrière. As a result many women do not even try, and quite rightly so, as they are afraid of the risks of adverse reactions inherent with such treatments. However, in addition to the one-session risky options above there is the safe, natural and effective way, which is based on stimulating collagen production and collagen contraction (with deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency) and muscle building, lifting and toning (with Emsculpt’s HIFEM technology), over a course of several safe sessions, as opposed to the - supposedly instant - gimmicky options of surgery or injections. And this is what we offer with our LipoTherapeia® Plus non-surgical bum lift treatment…

Genuine, AI-free content

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.

Disclaimers

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.

Safety: Our treatments have proven 99%+ safe over the last 15+ years (with minor/temporary irritation occurring in the other 1%- of treatments). However, as with any medical/aesthetic treatment or skin product, sensitivity varies from person to person, and from time to time even on the same person, depending on lifestyle, genetics and state of health (how each individual body responds to a treatment at a specific time), so we cannot guarantee 100% safety.
