Cellulite can appear on the body due to a number of reasons, ranging from genetics and age through to hormones and weight. An individual’s skin structure can also be a factor. While weight can be a contributor, the appearance of cellulite is not caused by fat deposits themselves. As a result, even those who are thin can find themselves experiencing cellulite.
Fat cells within the skin are responsible for the storage of energy. These cells form compartments that connect the skin and the muscles. When fat cells are small enough, they can fit within their compartments without difficulty, but when they become too large, they begin to bulge out, causing subcutaneous fat to become visible above the skin. This is what is responsible for the lumpy appearance of cellulite.
Radio frequency cellulite reduction works by sending radio frequency energy waves into the deeper sub dermal layers of the skin in order to destroy fat cells. The body’s lymphatic system then naturally removes them, helping to reduce the appearance of cellulite. Radio frequency cellulite treatment gently heats up the skin in order to destroy fat cells, which also works to tighten collagen fibres, providing benefits for skin elasticity and structure.
During radio frequency cellulite treatment, you’ll be lying down comfortably while a radio frequency handpiece slowly passes over the area being treated, safely and gently heating the skin. No harm is done to surrounding tissue, and the treatment is not painful. A slight warming sensation may be experienced.
The number of treatments required can differ from person to person and will typically depend on the area being treated and how much cellulite is present. Our clinic usually recommends at least 4 treatment sessions. Some results may be noticeable after a single treatment, but the best results will be seen over the course of your treatment plan.
Radio frequency cellulite reduction is a suitable treatment option for anyone with cellulite on the body. Due to the technology used, both light and dark skin tones are able to be targeted.
RF Skin tightening is suitable for anyone wanting to:
The treatment is unsuitable for anyone who is pregnant or nursing, who has a pacemaker, or who has open wounds or cystic acne in the area affected by cellulite.
