Does radiofrequency treatment have anything to ...

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…

Is there a difference between skin tightening, toning, firming and skin lifting?

Is there a difference between skin tightening, toning, firming and skin lifting?

A lot of people, being confused by all the marketing blurb and hype, ask us the following question: “What do you offer, skin tightening, skin toning or skin lifting?” Well, the answer to this question is that all these three things are the exact and same thing. When skin is tight it resists the forces of gravity and looks more toned/lifted. The same applies when skin is tightened with a non-surgical procedure or with surgery. Tightening the skin’s collagen fibres helps skin resist the downward force of gravity better, becoming more lifted and looking more toned….

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. While red and infrared light therapy alone cannot significantly reduce cellulite, it plays a crucial role in amplifying the effectiveness of deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency (RF) and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation, complemented by healthy nutrition and exercise…

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…

Booking a cellulite treatment last minute just before holidays: does it make sense?

Booking a cellulite treatment last minute just before holidays: does it make sense?

If your cellulite treatment is a clay body wrap, lymphatic massage, mechanical massage with vacuum suction or anything similarly short-lasting, yes. Have the last session just 1-2 days before your holidays and hopefully that will last you up to one week into your holidays. However, if you are having a real cellulite / skin tightening treatment that aims for long-term results, such as deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency or high-power ultrasound cavitation, the best thing to do is finish your sessions about a month before your holidays or thereabouts…

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…

Stimulative vs destructive treatments for skin tightening: safety and effectiveness

Stimulative vs destructive treatments for skin tightening: safety and effectiveness

Exercise and general movement do lead to tighter skin and, as mentioned above, they are absolutely essential to maintain tight skin. However, exercise and healthy nutrition act very slowly in reversing skin laxity and can only go so far in tightening skin in specific areas or throughout the body. So, indeed you can tighten your skin with exercise but usually not enough and not fast enough. Hence the need for a good, strong skin tightening treatment, for faster, more pronounced results than from just exercise…

Water retention and oedematous cellulite in the heat of the summer

Water retention and oedematous cellulite in the heat of the summer

The single more important reason for cellulite looking worse in the summer is water retention. Water retention, one of the seven aspects of cellulite, can become worse in the heat of the summer due to vasodilation. In turn, water retention makes the cellulite “bumps” to become enlarged and thighs and buttocks, in general, to become puffy. Water retention can also lead to increased low grade inflammation, another one of the seven aspects of cellulite (the other five being fat accumulation, skin laxity, fibrosis, oxidative damage and glycation)….

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.

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.

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.
