“I have been specialising in radiofrequency for 14 years now and my physics background enabled me to understand and dig deep into this technology. Unfortunately there are so many myths and so much misinformation about everything to do with radiofrequency and specifically about skin temperatures for an effective and safe radiofrequency treatment for cellulite removal and skin tightening. At The Cellulite School you will learn everything about radiofrequency temperature targets and temperature measurements, free of myths and misinformation.”

Learn what are the optimum skin temperatures for skin tightening and cellulite treatment with radiofrequency
Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the strongest technology available for cellulite reduction and skin tightening known today, especially when combined with high-power ultrasound cavitation.
Deep tissue RF is far more effective and far safer than HIFU or RF microneedling, especially if provided by a well-trained therapist.
Radiofrequency is based on deep heating different skin tissue layers, depending on the therapeutic outcome you are trying to achieve. As we cannot measure temperature inside our clients’ skin, we assess the intensity of RF treatment by measuring skin surface temperature.
However, a superficial temperature of e.g. 38°C can denote anything between 34°C to 42°C in different tissues, depending on:
machine used
settings applied
individual skin anatomy
treatment skin products used during treatment
It is also important to use a high quality thermometer which is calibrated, as most infrared thermometers on the market are all over the place with their measurements.
How to optimise skin temperature for a safe and effective cellulite / skin tightening treatment
For an effective treatment, it is important to know:
Which skin temperatures are safe and effective for which end-goal and which are not
Which tissues we want to treat for a specific end-goal: deep skin tightening, superficial skin tightening, deep cellulite reduction, superficial cellulite reduction, subcutaneous fat reduction or epidermal rejuvenation
How deeply the relevant tissues are located (there is so much of misinformation on this)
Which tissues we want to avoid heating (very important too)
What RF equipment, RF settings (and even RF treatment skin products) we need to use, in order to focus on a specific tissue for a specific treatment goal
The last 14+ years I have done extensive research, combined with practical application over thousands of sessions and can now specifically correlate surface skin temperatures with deeper tissue temperatures depending on machine and treatment settings used, body type and skin products.
At The Cellulite School I will teach you all the secrets you need to know to utilise superficial skin temperature targets and skin temperature measurements in order to offer a safe and effective radiofrequency treatment to all your clients.
The Cellulite School™: Get advanced training in cellulite reduction and skin tightening
Why train with The Cellulite School™?
We all know that training in cellulite reduction and skin tightening is as basic as it gets. It is typically a 4-6 hour training, involving only basic instruction from the manufacturer on how operators can use the machine; lots of myths, erroneous information and misconceptions; and some basic health and safety on how to use the machine.
There is no proper, real training in the science or cellulite, skin tightening, radiofrequency, ultrasound and all related technologies is non-existent - worldwide.
Do you want to deeply understand radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, LED phototherapy, cellulite and skin tightening?
Get proper training based on 25-year theory and practical application of cellulite reduction and valuable insights from 24,000+ sessions and 4,200+ clients.
Now you can get instant access to our expertise and save yourself literally thousands of pounds, dollars or euros of expensive mistakes and thousands of hours of study, research and practical application by attending one of our half-day, 1-day, 2-day or 3-day professional consultancy / training courses.
Understand deeply - and get properly trained in - the science of radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, LED phototherapy, cellulite and skin tightening and confidently offer your clients the safest, strongest and most effective treatment possible.
Service available via Zoom or at our central London practice.

At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
(Of course, we keep looking for new technologies every day and if/when a better technology materialises we will be the first to provide it. However, we will never follow the latest ineffective gimmick, just because it’s good marketing to offer the latest hyped up - yet ineffective and/or unsafe treatment.)
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.
