“I have practised and extensively studied and researched radiofrequency for the last 14 years. Over 13,000 sessions I have tried all the possible treatment frequency, treatment intensity, treatment length and treatment volume combinations and I am presenting my findings below.”
For best results with cellulite and skin tightening, should I be looking for longer/stronger sessions or for more/more frequent sessions?
I only have limited time in London/before my holidays, would stronger treatments be equivalent to more sessions?
Is a higher number of lower intensity treatments equivalent to a smaller number of higher intensity treatments and vice versa?

I only have limited time in London, would stronger treatments be equivalent to more sessions?
This is a very common question at the clinic, as quite often people have limited time in which to complete the course of treatments.
At LipoTherapeia we use the two strongest technologies available today for cellulite reduction and skin tightening: deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation. No other technology is as effective AND safe at the same time.
However, even with the best technology in the world we honestly recommend 6-12 sessions for best results, with 1-day to 14-day gaps between sessions. This is because the body needs STRONG, REGULAR and REPEATED stimulation to change (results with monthly sessions or with 1-4 sessions only exist on instagram and tiktok, not in real life).
We understand, though, that sometimes there is simply not enough time available, either because you have limited time in London or limited time before holidays.
The fact is that yes, there is some equivalence, in terms of treatment duration. Practically, you can have roughly 25% LONGER sessions in order to get the same results that you would get with roughly 25% MORE sessions.
For example, if you want to treat the ‘Back of thighs, outer thighs and buttocks’ area (a 50-minute intensive treatment with us) you can perhaps have 6x60-minute and get the same results as about 8x 50-minute sessions.
However, you cannot have double-duration treatments in order to gain the same results with half the number of sessions. Unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.
Furthermore, for less than 6x sessions, long term effectiveness is not great, even with longer sessions. So the recommendation for a minimum of 6x sessions for most people still applies.
Of course, all the above are not set in stone. Everyone is different and some people respond faster or slower or in a different way to another person.
Is a higher number of lower intensity treatments equivalent to a smaller number of higher intensity treatments - and vice versa?
In terms of treatment intensity, there is almost no equivalence:
If you disproportionately increase treatment intensity you will cause injury, not better results. That’s why those expensive, painful and unsafe one-session miracle treatments are not a good idea and in most they cases don’t work well either. To achieve cellulite reduction / skin tightening you need to do the miles, you need to walk the walk. There are no shortcuts.
Similarly, having, say 20x sessions with a low-power, low-end RF/ultrasound machine will not offer the same results as having 10x sessions with a high-power, high-end machine. There is no equivalence this way either. To achieve cellulite reduction / skin tightening you need to use the highest SAFE intensity too.
Have a treatment in London with the cellulite experts
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.
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.
