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.

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…

Why do I still have cellulite after liposuction?

Why do I still have cellulite after liposuction?

I have recently had liposuction and still have cellulite - how it this possible? It is possible simply because liposuction does not remove cellulite (hypodermal fat), it removes fat (subcutaneous fat), as it is actually supposed to do. Cellulite is superficial fat which is enmeshed into your skin and thereby it cannot be removed surgically (unless you want your skin to be removed). Liposuction, on the other hand, removes deeper fat (subcutaneous adipose tissue) which is located UNDER your skin and UNDER the cellulite layer (hypodermal adipose tissue). These are two different types of fat and two different depths…

Toxic air fryers, cellulite and skin aging

Toxic air fryers, cellulite and skin aging

Air fryers are now the third most-used appliance in UK kitchens after toasters and microwave ovens - and well ahead of conventional ovens. Air fryers owe their popularity to their promise of making fried food but without the excess oil. Enjoying crispy fried food but without the oil? What not to like, right? Sure, air fried food is better than normal oil fried too - no question about that. But there are lot of things not to like about the air fryer craze...

How fried food causes cellulite, skin aging and loose skin

How fried food causes cellulite, skin aging and loose skin

When to comes to cellulite, skin looseness and even overall health, fried food is one of the worst type of foods you can possibly put in your mouth. Fried oils/fats are damaged fats which accumulate in cell membranes, causing chronic, low-grade, whole-body inflammation and damage to all organs and tissues in the whole body, including blood vessels and skin.

What do you prefer to use for cellulite at LipoTherapeia, radiofrequency or cavitation ?

What do you prefer to use for cellulite at LipoTherapeia, radiofrequency or cavitation ?

We typically use radiofrequency-only when cellulite is combined with skin laxity (most common); and ultrasound cavitation-only when skin laxity is not a concern (less common). In many cases we use a mix of those technologies. But in all cases we now combine RF and/or cavitation with high-power LED red/infrared light therapy, as it provenly enhances the results of RF and cavitation. However, every body is different and there are many considerations on whether to use…

Why we now use red and infrared light therapy for all our cellulite treatments

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…

Infrared and red light therapy after ultrasound cavitation treatment

Infrared and red light therapy after ultrasound cavitation treatment

At the clinic we use ultrasound cavitation for cellulite reduction, focused with great precision on the hypodermis and dermis, leaving the epidermis alone, as it should be for this application. And we use LED red light therapy, mainly in the infrared wavelength, to maximise the results of our deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation treatments. It is now firmly established that infrared and red light therapy boosts mitochondrial function and thus cellular energy, and we have observed that when applied following cavitation treatment, it significantly improves the outcomes of cavitation for cellulite reduction…

What is better for cellulite, RF or cavitation?

What is better for cellulite, RF or cavitation?

Let’s see first how each technology works and in which cases it works best. Deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation works by disrupting fat cells mechanically (ultrasound is sound, ie mechanical waves), as well as via heat. This leads to lipolysis (fat release from fat cells) as well as adipocyte apoptosis (accelerated fat cell death)…

Cellulite after weight loss: why does it sometimes look worse?

Cellulite after weight loss: why does it sometimes look worse?

When you put on weight adipocytes (fat cells) in your deeper, subcutaneous adipose tissue fill up with fat and that give you volume. Skin has to accommodate the excess volume by becoming longer. At the she time, adipocytes in your more superficial hypodermal adipose tissue also fill up with fat and we call that cellulite. When you lose weight you mainly lose fat from the subcutaneous adipose tissue and not so much from the hypodermal one…

Ultra-processed foods and cellulite

Ultra-processed foods and cellulite

At the time of first writing this article (February 2024) a lot was written about how ultra-processed foods can cause heart disease, cancer and undermine health overall. But what about cellulite? We have made it clear on this blog that there is a big overlap between Western civilisation diseases (diabetes, heart disease, cancer etc) and cellulite. Sure, cellulite does not kill but the same things that cause these diseases to a large extent also cause cellulite. There is no complete overlap but there is a quite extensive one. Ultra-processed foods (UPF), i.e. the exact opposite for fresh, clean foods, rob food from all its nutrients to leave almost empty calories and various chemicals…

RF and ultrasound treatment: does total joule count mean anything?

Back in the early 2000, when RF treatments were static (using the “stamp” or “pulse” method), counting the total amount of energy applied on the skin (as measured in Joules, kiloJoules to be precise), meant something: it signified how strong the treatment was on that particular area. Today this stamp/pulse method is only being used for one ultrasound treatment, one RF treatment and for RF microneedling and HIFU…

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.
