Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the two most effective SAFE technologies for cellulite reduction and skin tightening (far more effective and safe than e.g. RF microneedling or HIFU). Depth of treatment depends on the type of ultrasound or RF equipment you use, the settings you apply and even the contact medium you apply on the skin. Power depends on the equipment you use and the settings you apply…
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…
It is so easy to be fooled by Instagram pictures of C-list celebs "undergoing a non-surgical bum lift procedure" or experience an “amazing transformation” with their cellulite. Don't fall for them. The sad truth is that the vast majority of "before & after" photos found on most websites and on Instagram are simply fake, aiming to take advantage of the public's ignorance and gullibility. Read below about specific examples of the most common tricks….
“Does cupping work for cellulite?” This is a common question we are asked at the clinic and on this article I am going to explain how effective cupping is for cellulite, according to both science and my own practical experience (I have practised different types of cupping treatments for cellulite reduction already a good 20 years ago)…
Celebrities are daily bombarded by expensive PR agents to try different skincare products and treatments for free and quite a few of them consequently get paid to share those “secrets” with their followers. So what celebrities use does not have to do with what is good or effective but with which company has the most expensive and most connected PRs…
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?
Cocoa flavanols are widely researched for their microcirculation enhancing, collagen protecting, antioxidant, elastin synthesis stimulating and adipose tissue anti-inflammatory action. Cocoa flavanols act directly on four aspects of cellulite. Due to these qualities, cocoa flavanols (purified cocoa extract) is one of the most important skincare actives today for anti-aging, stretch marks, post-liposuction aftercare and anti-cellulite creams…
Medical, aesthetic and complementary treatments all try to steer the body towards a specific direction and they generally work, but it is not guaranteed that the body will react in a specific way / after a specific number of sessions. Such treatments are an effort towards a result, not a guarantee of an exact result…
Most people hate surgery and if they suffer from skin looseness, on their thighs or other body area, would rightly prefer to have a course of non-surgical treatments instead. However, for extreme skin laxity and sagginess the only option that makes sense is thigh lift surgery. Non-surgical treatments are great (in fact the only option) for mild or medium skin laxity / sagginess…
Seeds mainly contain omega-6 fatty acids (mainly linoleic acid), of which the Western diet already contains too much, tipping the omega-3 : omega-6 fatty acid balance from an ideal 1:4 to an excessive 1:20. Excess omega-6 fatty acid consumption is known to contribute towards low grade inflammation, which is a contributing factor to cellulite Furthermore, like all oils and fats, seed oils (sunflower oil, corn oil, soy bean oil, horrid cottonseed oil etc) carry…
These medicalised beauty procedures have quite often led to an artificial or even deformed look on the face or the body; quite a lot of adverse reactions; and in the end little actual benefit. A good example of this trend for instant results via the unnecessary and irrational butchering of internal tissues, are collagenase injections to literally dissolve down the excess collagen found in cellulite. This is achieved with a collagen-dissolving enzyme found in an injectable called “collagenase clostridium histolyticum-aaes”…
High-power ultrasound cavitation is one of the two most effective SAFE methods for cellulite reduction, especially when provided by a well-trained, experienced and knowledgable therapist. Normally cavitation is not recommended for skin tightening, as it only exerts a weak skin tightening effect, when applied as usual…
Adipose (fat) tissue, i.e. what we call ‘body fat’, stores calories in the body in the form of ‘triglycerides’, which is the technical name for all fats and oils. In addition, adipose tissue also secretes hormones-like substances, called adipokines, such as resistin, adiponectin, leptin, tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) and even estrogen…
It is now well known that gut bacteria influence our body weight and that faecal transplants can turn lean people into obese or - vice versa - they can save them obese people from otherwise incurable obesity. Specifically, christensenella gut bacteria have been found to be more common in lean people than the overweight and obese and they are also highly inheritable from parent to child. In the lab, christensenella minuta bacteria have turned obese mice into lean mice, and when they were transplanted into bacteria-free obese mice, they reversed their weight gain….
Hypermobility is a broad term to describe loose connective tissue which is characterised by weaker/less collagen. This results not only in loose joints but also in loose, thin skin. So hypermobile / very flexible people tend to suffer from skin laxity from young age but especially so from their 40s and 50s, when collagen production decreases. Females suffer more from hypermobility, due to to the action of estrogen on connective tissue. Hypermobility in females increases just before their period and also in the latter…
Radio frequency is simply high frequency electricity. Low frequency electricity can make your muscles contract, even at low intensities. This is used in physiotherapy for musculoskeletal treatment and for pain reduction. A good example of this is EMS, or electrical muscle stimulation / TENS devices/treatments. On the other hand, very high frequency electricity (>300kHz) when applied on the body produces just heat…
This is a common question from my clients: “Do guys care about cellulite in women?”
Personally, I do not care much, as I know that it is a common problem. Yes, no cellulite is better, like no beer belly in a man is better, but I would not judge a woman by the amount of her cellulite, as I would not judge a man by his lack of a six-pack. And that applies to…
At its core, infrared light therapy employs light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to emit wavelengths typically ranging from 700 to 1,000 nanometers. Unlike the harsh ultraviolet rays that scorch the skin, infrared light penetrates deeper into tissues, reaching muscles, nerves, and even lymphatic structures. The mechanism hinges on stimulating mitochondria—the powerhouses of cells—to produce more adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the molecule that fuels cellular activity…
Carotenoids, found in carrots, tomatoes, watermelons, seaweed (especially wakame), salmon and green leafy vegetables, among other foods, are important skin nutrients that help prevent UV damage, skin looseness and protect skin firmness and microcirculation. In this article we summarise the benefits of those nutrients and the foods that contain them.

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.
