Loose skin after BBL reversal: how to tighten ...

Apparently the BBL era is now over and the most dangerous cosmetic procedure is now on the wane. Big butts are gradually going out of fashion and a slimmer, or at least more balanced look, is now the new trend. The Kardashians are reported to have apparently reversed their BBLs - although they never admitted them in the first place and although millions of women around the world copied the non-admitted BBLs…

RF microneedling for cellulite and skin ...

Microneedling radiofrequency is based on damaging skin with both excessive high intensity RF and the actual needles, hoping cellulite fat tissue will be broken and dissolved and that skin will repair itself and build scar tissue, which will will to skin tightening. As it aims to cause damage, this technique is inherently…

However, each specific case comes with a set of problems, requirements and different tissue types that would benefit more from ultrasound cavitation, radiofrequency or a mix of those techniques: cellulite type (deep vs superficial, hard vs soft etc); cellulite severity; connective tissue fibrosis; skin sensitivity; skin laxity; subcutaneous tissue depth; surface area to be treated…

Fibrosis reduction with radiofrequency or RF ...

Over the last 24+ years I have seen countless clients with post cosmetic surgery fibrosis - and even after harsh non-surgical procedures and as such procedures become more and more popular, the number of people with fibrosis increases. Body cosmetic surgery (such as liposuction, cellulaze, vaser, smart lipo etc) as well as harsh non-surgical treatments (such as RF microneedling, extreme intensity HIFU, cryolipolysis, extreme intensity radiofrequency etc) can result in fibrotic lumps or entire fibrotic regions of hard skin around the stomach, thighs, buttocks etc. Fibrosis refers to previously inflamed hardened skin or other connective tissue (or even hard lumps) comprising of scar tissue-type, randomly aligned collagen fibres. This is in contrast to firm, healthy skin, which is comprised of functional, properly aligned collagen fibres. This is sometimes the result of a surgeon doing a bad job; sometimes the result of your body reacting really badly to even the best surgeon’s work; and sometimes the procedure itself being unsafe. After all that I have seen over the decades, I would never undergo…

Does radiofrequency treatment have anything to ...

The electrical currents used for aesthetic and physiotherapy radiofrequency treatments (300 kHz to 5 GHz) happen to fall within the so called "radio frequency spectrum", i.e. the frequencies used for radio communications (3 kHz to 300 GHz)…

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…

Anti-cellulite leggings / compression tights: do they work?

Anti-cellulite leggings / compression tights: do they work?

We can divide the different compression garments on the market in two categories: uniform pressure (simple compression) garments and graduated pressure garments. Below we are analysing the two types of compression garments and their effectiveness in reducing cellulite and water retention and their effect on firmness…

Dry brushing for cellulite: does it work?

Dry brushing for cellulite: does it work?

When it come to cellulite removal at home, dry body brushing is the immediate, go-to advice by beauty “experts” the world over. “You want to reduce cellulite at home? Hey, body brush! BTW, here is a list of overpriced body brushes below, for you to consume…” But does this advice stand to scrutiny? Can dry body brushing “get rid of your cellulite”?

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)…

Apigenin (from parsley, chamomile and celery) may help prevent cellulite

Apigenin (from parsley, chamomile and celery) may help prevent cellulite

A new study, published a few days ago (December 2023) looked at the potential antioxidant, anti-aging and anti-cellulite potential of a family of aromatic plants called Apiaceae or Umbelliferae. Common apiaceae plants include ajwain, angelica, anise, asafoetida, caraway, carrot, celery, chervil, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, lovage, cow parsley, parsley, parsnip and sea holly…

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…

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

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…

What are typical prices for radiofrequency treatment in London?

What are typical prices for radiofrequency treatment in London?

Radiofrequency, when properly done (i.e. deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency applied by a well trained professional), is the most effective SAFE skin tightening and cellulite reduction treatment known today. Radiofrequency prices in London vary from anything between £50 a session to £3,500 a session, with typical prices for a quality treatment on an average sized body area in central London being £150-£500 per session. Of course, as with any other aesthetic treatment, effectiveness, price and customer service vary widely from clinic to clinic, depending on equipment quality, staff training, location and clinic environment and also the focus of each clinic…

Pterostilbene, resveratrol and hyperpigmentation

Pterostilbene is a chemical found in plants that has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These properties make it potentially useful for preventing skin cancer and other skin conditions. However, until recently, there had not been any research examining the effects of pterostilbene on pigment production in the skin…

Cavitation ultrasound for cellulite vs ultrasound for physiotherapy: are they the same?

Cavitation ultrasound for cellulite vs ultrasound for physiotherapy: are they the same?

Yes, there are usually considerable differences. Physiotherapy ultrasound is usually of 1MHz (and sometimes 3MHz) frequency and of maximum power of around 10 Watts. Quite often it is used at a fraction of this maximum power, usually anything between 1 Watt and 5 Watts. This is because physiotherapy ultrasound is meant to stimulate and it is also used in a very small area, hence the low powers. Sometimes, low frequency ultrasound (300kHz) is used in physiotherapy but at very, very low powers (0.5-1 Watt). Some machines used in beauty, for cellulite reduction or other purposes, can also be of…

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 25+ years on, we still keep it real, regardless of AI.

Disclaimers

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.
