What Is It Used To Treat:
RF treatment applications (using either the Unipolar or Bipolar head) include:
- Cellulite treatment
- Fat reduction on the arms, abdomen, gluteus, and/or legs
- Skin tightening on the face, arms, abdomen, buttocks, and/or legs
- Complete body contouring
- Pre liposuction skin tightening
- Post liposuction smoothing
- Lipoma (benign tumour composed of fat tissue) treatment
Benefits:
Non-surgical treatment for lax skin anywhere on the body
Relaxing, enjoyable treatment
Effects visible for up to 6 months after treatment

How long does it last?
Results are said to last for anything from 6 months to up to 2 years for facial tightening treatments according to the manufacturer. However, ongoing maintenance will be required more frequently for older people and for those with poor skin quality to begin-with, as a result of smoking, sun exposure, alcohol consumption etc.
For body contouring applications, the improvement in the skin quality is said to be long lasting, similar to the facial tightening results; however keeping the body contours in check is also subject to a person’s diet, calorie intake, exercise and lifestyle. Fat cells have the capability of expanding to 500 times their size, thus an unbalanced diet and unhealthy lifestyle plays a centre roll in keeping body contours in good shape more than any treatment can, effective as it is.
Technology in Use
The dual radio frequency modes produce therapeutic heat in two ways:
Tissue resistance to BiPolar RF current creates local, superficial dermal heating.
UniPolar RF generates alternating electromagnetic fields that cause rotation and friction in the dipole water molecules of deeper tissue.
RF works by gradually heating the dermal and sub-dermal tissue to tighten and re-contour both superficially and volumetrically:
Collagen fibers contract and multiply, which firms and improves laxity.
Connective tissue contracts to improve the skin’s contour, texture and architecture.
Circulation improves and retained fluids drain from subcutaneous adipose tissue to reduce edema, erythema and overall volume.
