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.

Is radiofrequency / RF microneedling treatment ...

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…

Ultrasound cavitation: which frequencies are ...

Different skin tissue depths and their structures affect cellulite and skin laxity in different ways. There is widespread confusion regarding cellulite, the different skin tissue layers and their depths in the scientific literature - not to mention general information that you can find on the web. The names are totally confusing and are used to describe different things by different researchers…

Ultrasound cavitation: which frequencies are suitable for different tissue layers

Is skin elasticity and skin tightness the same thing? Are there any differences?

Is skin elasticity and skin tightness the same thing? Are there any differences?

Many people confuse tightness and elasticity and use these terms interchangeably to describe youthful, healthy skin. But are these two terms one and the same? Young skin is the ideal type of skin, as it is both elastic and firm/tight. With age, both skin elasticity and tightness/firmness deteriorate, leading to thin, saggy, wrinkled, crepey and overall aged skin. In this article we explain what the terms ‘skin firmness / skin tightness’ and ‘skin elasticity’ mean exactly, and how to boost both of them for younger looking, healthier more beautiful skin…

How does infrared / red light therapy work?

How does infrared / red light therapy work?

Energy in every single cell of the human body is produced in specialised cell compartments called mitochondria. Mitochondria is where oxygen is utilised to produce ATP, the energy currency of the cell. If mitochondria malfunction then the whole cell malfunctions and underperforms. On the skin, this can lead to aesthetic problems (dull, irritated, inflamed or unhealthy skin). In other organs and tissues this can lead to a poorer state of health, lower energy levels, slower recovery from injuries etc…

How long should a radiofrequency / cavitation session be?

How long should a radiofrequency / cavitation session be?

Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the strongest SAFE treatment for cellulite reduction and skin tightening. However, even with the best treatment in the world, a protracted amount of time is needed to provide tissues with sufficient stimulation and effect change. So treatment duration for a high quality, strong RF treatment is 20-40’ per side, per area…

Cellulite is just fascia that needs blasting: one statement, multiple levels of ignorance…

If you have researched cellulite you must have bumped on this. Someone one day discovered the existence of fascia and dreamed that “fascia is the cause of cellulite”. And what do you do to fascia? But of course you just poke it, what else? Poke it as hard as you can with a crude fascia “blasting” tool, and your cellulite will go forever, right?

A list of the most effective cellulite treatments - in real life, not in the virtual reality of social media

As most women know by experience, most cellulite treatments simply do not work. And when we say they don't work, we mean that they either do not work at all or that they offer so poor results that you would need 20, 30 or 50 sessions to be happy with the results. Here we will review the best treatments, according to effectiveness (more effective treatments are presented first, ineffective treatments are presented last)…

Do cellulite creams work independently of cellulite treatments?

Do cellulite creams work independently of cellulite treatments?

Cellulite creams and cellulite treatments work on slightly different aspects of cellulite with some differences and some overlaps. In fact, cellulite creams can do things that cellulite treatments can’t. On the other hand, treatments work faster than creams. Cellulite treatments, for example, cannot act on free radical damage, glycation or inflammation. On the other hand, a good cellulite cream (I know, they are very rare, but they do exist) will…

Hydroxyproline: the ultimate skin firming cream ingredient

Hydroxyproline: the ultimate skin firming cream ingredient

Collagen is a protein that contains higher amounts of proline, glycine and hydroxyproline than other body proteins. Hydroxyproline, specifically, is only found in collagen in the body - nowhere else and it is THE most important aminoacid in that protein. Studies have shown that a hydroxyproline peptide stimulates collagen I and III synthesis, as well as elastin synthesis. In addition it inhibits collagen breakdown…

Radiofrequency treatment is like massage: each therapist does it differently

Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the best and safest non-surgical skin tightening treatment and the joint best/safest cellulite reduction treatment (together with deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation) and far more effective and safe than the undeservedly hyped-up HIFU or RF microneedling. Because radiofrequency treatment is provided with a machine, most people think that all treatments with a specific machine are provided identically and as a result they embark on “researching” what is the best RF machine on the web - as well as on instagram and tiktok 😂...

Guarana, caffeine and cellulite

Guarana, caffeine and cellulite

Guarana (Paullinia cupana) is a South American plant whose seeds, the side of coffee beans, contain caffeine. The concentration of caffeine is twice that of coffee beans. Drinks made with the seeds are popular in Brazil. Many commercial “energy drinks” contain guarana. These drinks are no different to drinks containing caffeine from. coffee beans…

Cellular senescence, skin ageing and cellulite

Cellular senescence, skin ageing and cellulite

Cellular senescence, literally meaning “cell aging”, is the process by which cells stop dividing and enter a senile stage characterised by dysfunction and the spreading of inflammation. Cellular senescence leads to the production of pro-inflammatory mediators that can spread inflammation to thousands of other cells in the vicinity of a group of senescent cells or even throughout the body. Cells normally enter cellular senescence after approximately 50 cell divisions (mitoses) and this normal process is known as "replicative senescence". When a cell enters senescence it is selected to be cleared by the immune system, in a process called senolysis…

Does gluten cause cellulite?

Does gluten cause cellulite?

Gluten is a structural protein naturally found in some cereal grains, such as wheat (including spelt), barley, rye, and some types of oats. Typical foods that contain gluten are: bread, pasta, beer, pastries and cakes, hidden sources of gluten in processed foods etc. Gluten makes up 80% of the protein in wheat. Since bread contains 9% protein, about 7.2% of bread is gluten…

Are the benefits of a cellulite cream from the product itself or the skin massage involved in applying it?

Are the benefits of a cellulite cream from the product itself or the skin massage involved in applying it?

Is it the cellulite cream that works or the massaging action by which the cream is applied? This is the natural evolution of “creams don’t get absorbed” idea. If creams do not get absorbed and yet people are happy with them, that means that something else works, other than the cream. And what else can that be than massaging the cream into the skin? Makes sense, right? Well, let’s look at the facts…

How many RF treatments are needed to see results?

With proper, deep-acting, high-power radio frequency, provided under the pain threshold, clients typically experience some immediate skin contraction, which sometimes is quite impressive. This contraction is brought about by the effect of heat on fibroblasts (collagen cells), which contract the skin’s collagen network…

Lipedema vs cellulite vs 'fat': the facts

Lipedema vs cellulite vs 'fat': the facts

Subcutaneous adipose tissue is a distinct fat tissue UNDER the skin. This is the fat that can be removed by liposuction. Cellulite is a totally different thing. It is not fat under the skin, it is fat INSIDE the skin and it is, of course, found ABOVE the subcutaneous adipose tissue. As it is part of the skin, it can obviously not be removed by liposuction…

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.

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.

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.
