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…
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.
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…
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…
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…
radio frequency ruined my face
However, not all cavitation and RF treatments are the same. In fact, as every clinic individual therapist practises those technologies differently, even with the exact same equipment - and as there is a huge variety of RF and ultrasound equipment on the market, ranging from very low spec to very high spec - we can say that there are as many RF/cavitation treatments on the market as there are clinics in the world - probably tens of thousands of them...
With any effective body treatment, it is good to leave one, two or more days between sessions in order to allow for the skin to recover. So with a deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency treatment, you must leave at least 2-3 days between sessions. With ineffective, low power RF treatments, you can leave less time between sessions (as little…
Radiofrequency increases the metabolism of tissues where it is applied. Increased metabolism will result to increased breakdown of products such as fillers and botox. Furthermore, certain types of radiofrequency, such as high frequency RF, should not be used on fillers, as temperature may increase disproportionately inside the filler, potentially causing damage…
Everyone interested in facial anti-ageing these days is talking about the SMAS. Suddenly everyone is an (ignorant) “expert” in the SMAS, just like everyone interested in cellulite or massage suddenly became an (ignorant) “expert” in all things fascia a few years ago. But what is the SMAS, why is everyone talking about it and why is it not such a great idea to target it non-surgically?
Cavitation treatments are generally very safe and have a low rate of adverse reactions that would potentially prevent you from having a bath or shower. Usually the only problem experienced after cavitation treatments is mild redness / skin sensitivity, which dissipates within a few minutes or hours. As long as skin does not look/feel irritated, then you can have a normal - but not too…
Too much radiofrequency treatment can refer to three things: too strong treatment; treatment taken too often; too many sessions. High intensity, deep-acting radiofrequency is the strongest SAFE skin tightening and cellulite removal treatment available today, and aims to naturally stimulate collagen synthesis, collagen contraction, lipolysis and circulation with intensive - but never excessive - deep heat. With such radiofrequency all you feel during treatment is deep heat in your hypodermis and dermis, i.e. the deeper skin layers…
I don’t know where this “fat melting” idea came from, but those who invented this phrase a few decades ago, should have known that fat is already liquid in fat cells. In fact, scientists call the lipid content in fat cells “the adipocyte lipid droplet”. So next time you visit a clinic where they claim to melt your fat…
Properly applied, deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency, can NOT make skin worse - it will always lead to skin tightening and cellulite reduction (and the same applies to properly applied strong, deep-acting ultrasound cavitation). After 13,000+ sessions we have never seen a single client’s skin get worse. This type of radiofrequency (and/or ultrasound cavitation) is super-safe, if applied professionally by an experienced, well-trained, well-educated therapist (we have a constant 99.5%+ safety rate at our clinic in the last 14+ years). Properly applied, deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency works by stimulating cellulite fat release and the synthesis of functional collagen tissue and…

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. BTW, there is NO long-term cellulite removal or skin tightening/lifting with one, two or even three sessions and there is neither 100% nor permanent cellulite removal or skin tightening/lifting, with ANY technique, including ours, so we never make such misleading claims.
Safety: Our treatments have proven 99%+ safe over the last 14+ 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.
