Exercising your skin with radiofrequency ...

Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency provided under at intensity just under the pain threshold is the most effective SAFE skin tightening and cellulite reduction treatment available today (superficial or low-power RF doesn’t work). Radiofrequency works by stimulating collagen contraction, collagen cell proliferation, collagen and elastin…

How does radiofrequency tighten the skin?

The main thing that radiofrequency does is to tighten skin. This happens via two mechanisms: RF stimulates existing collagen contraction; RF stimulates new collagen and elastin synthesis. In fact radiofrequency is the best way to achieve both collagen contraction and production. Any other technique is simply not effective enough, unsafe or both.

When it comes to skin tightening / toning / lifting, radiofrequency is the only game in town.

Is radiofrequency / RF microneedling treatment ...

High-power, deep-acting radio frequency treatment is now indisputable technology for cellulite and skin tightening, especially body skin tightening. But should it be painful to be effective? Absolutely not. Properly applied radio frequency should be a painless procedure and should never require the use of anaesthetic (numbing) cream. Never…

Learn how low frequency RF works for cellulite ...

After more than two decades of working with skin tightening and cellulite removal and after assessing all the relevant technologies I can state that properly applied deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the most effective SAFE skin tightening technology (there are other skin tightening technologies but they are either ineffective and/or unsafe). Deep, strong radiofrequency is also the jointly most effective SAFE cellulite reduction technology (again, there are other skin tightening technologies but they are either ineffective and/or unsafe). Now there are different types of radiofrequency that can be used for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, according to frequency…

Ultrasound cavitation: which frequencies are ...

Different skin tissue depths and their structures affect cellulite and skin laxity in different ways. There is widespread confusion regarding cellulite, the different skin tissue layers and their depths in the scientific literature - not to mention general information that you can find on the web. The names are totally confusing and are used to describe different things by different researchers…

‘Bottomless bubbly’ afternoon tea and the GBBO obsession vs diabetes, heart disease and cellulite

‘Bottomless bubbly’ afternoon tea and the GBBO obsession vs diabetes, heart disease and cellulite

As if metabolic inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes, overweight and obesity (not to mention cellulite, the subject of this website) were not bad enough in London and the UK in general, the last few years we have seen the rise of the ‘afternoon tea culture’, complete with bottomless prosecco offers and, of course, “The Great Diabetes Bake Off” (excuse me, I meant to say ‘The Great British Bake Off’), which has indoctrinated an entire generation to produce - and inevitably consume - vast quantities of stodgy, fattening and unhealthy nutritional junk. Indeed, the definition of junk food is food rich in fat, sugar and refined starch, so whichever way you dress a pig (fancily named Battenberg cakes or Angel slices, as…

Airplanes, airports hotels and cellulite

Airplanes, airports hotels and cellulite

London is an international air travel hub, with economical tickets to both European and distant destinations, and as a result millions of Londoners every year take to the skies. Many travel several times a year for pleasure while others even travel several times a week for business. All this travel does not just mean rich hotel meals and drinks at night - either for pleasure or business - but also food on the go, airport food and, worst of all, airplane food. Water retention and dehydration is also an issue when flying, which means poor circulation, puffiness and bloating…

How unhealthy lifestyles in London (and most major cities) cause cellulite

How unhealthy lifestyles in London (and most major cities) cause cellulite

"Since I’ve moved to London I have put on so much weight"; "I always had a little bit of cellulite but since I moved to London my cellulite has got worse than ever"; “I don’t exercise in London as much as I used to back home, so I put on weight”. As a cellulite specialist I have seen literally thousands of women, British and from all parts of the world, and I have heard those phrases countless times in the last couple of decades. My clients at the clinic seem to agree that, to put it bluntly, “London makes you fat and gives you cellulite”. And this does not come as a surprise to them, as they know that their habits have become a lot more unhealthy since they moved to London…

How our obsession with eating out causes cellulite

How our obsession with eating out causes cellulite

Italian, Greek, Japanese, Thai and even Indian cuisine, for example, never included so much cream, butter, palm fat, rapeseed oil and mayonnaise. Sugar and sweet sauces are almost never included in Mediterranean savoury dishes. Yet, pub and restaurant meals, as well as supermarket ready-made meals, are full of those ingredients. Why does one need mayonnaise in sushi? Why would a so-called Greek salad need a sweet sauce? And why the hell do we need all this cream in so many meals?

Soul food, street food, comfort eating and cellulite

Soul food, street food, comfort eating and cellulite

I do not understand what makes unhealthy food, cooked unhealthily, good for the “soul”. Yes, it is comforting and occasionally food comfort is important. But consuming comfort/soul/street food continuously - as many people do these days with London’s rampant takeaway “just eat” culture - is detrimental to health. Indeed, ‘soul food’ and ‘street food’ played a role in the past, when people who mainly did heavy manual labour for a living needed a source of thousands of concentrated calories to get them through the day. In fact, millions of hard working people still depend on it today. It is not the healthiest food but provides needed calories…

Social media and cellulite

Social media and cellulite

And for every person benefitting from such motivation - or anxiety-inducing - reels there are countless others who simply waste their life away in the sofa scrolling to watch pointless “content” while eating comfort food and getting unhealthy and overweight. Not the mention the millions of disgusting food recipes with smoked, burned, charred, smoked again, fried, charred again, burned, fried again food comprising fatty meat, 60 shades of sugar and countless forms of stodge (British: heavy, dull, often starchy food)…

Drinking culture and cellulite

Drinking culture and cellulite

At the clinic we quite often see female clients (usually young but quite often in their 40s and 60s too), who consume 15 or even 20 units of alcohol on a night out. I really do not know how they do it - that amount of alcohol would send me to the intensive care unit. The fact is they do it and, although some are slim or relatively slim, they all have one thing in…

How luxury living and the champagne lifestyle causes cellulite

Beer and fish and chips vs refined restaurants and expensive cocktails. What do these two things have in common? Calories and alcohol, of course. In the last 20 years that we have specialised in cellulite, we have seen so many champagne-sipping people, who had literally thousands of evenings of refined dining…

How takeaway food causes cellulite

How takeaway food causes cellulite

“Don’t cook, just eat”, goes the motto of food delivery app Just Eat. Deliveroo and Uber Eats preach a similar philosophy: why bother to cook, when you can outsource your food? Obviously things are not so simple. Takeaway food is not cooked in a ‘Green Pan’ with a £50-a-kilo extra virgin Toscano olive oil, coming out of a cute glass bottle…

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 24+ years on, we still keep it real, regardless of AI.

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.
