Body skin tightening

Body Firming radiofrequency to tighten body skin and reduce cellulite and laxity

Radiofrequency (RF) at 0.3–0.5 MHz warms the dermis and superficial fat by 3–5 °C, never exceeding 42 °C, stimulating new collagen and improving circulation in the fat layer that causes orange-peel skin. A course of 10–15 sessions, with no wound.

How RF helps body skin

Cellulite forms when fat beneath the skin pushes up between the fibrous bands that anchor the skin, together with thinning skin and poor circulation. Loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy results from collagen and elastin fibres that have stretched and are slow to regenerate. Low-frequency radiofrequency at 0.3–0.5 MHz penetrates deeper than the high-frequency RF used on the face. When the skin is warmed to 40–42 °C and held there for several minutes, collagen fibres contract slightly at once and collagen-producing cells are stimulated to build new fibres over the following weeks. The heat also improves circulation and lymphatic drainage in the superficial fat, so the skin becomes gradually smoother and firmer. The effect is moderate, not comparable to surgical removal of excess skin, and needs a continuous course.

Who it suits

Orange-peel skin on the thighs, buttocks and abdomen

Grades 1–2 (visible when pinched or standing) respond better than deep, clearly dimpled grades

Loose abdomen after pregnancy or weight loss

Skin with reasonable remaining elasticity. For very loose, hanging skin, discuss surgery with the surgical team

Loose upper arms and inner thighs

Areas where the skin is thin and loosens with age

After Cool Shape or V-Shape

Helps the skin tighten as the fat layer reduces

Anyone wanting a comfortable, gentle option

Feels like a warm compress and fits into a lunch break

On the day (10–60 minutes depending on the area)

Assessment and measurementThe doctor grades the cellulite, checks skin elasticity and contraindications, and takes photographs
Conductive gel or oil appliedA return electrode pad (for the monopolar system) is placed on the back or thigh
RF handpiece moved in circlesThe skin temperature is raised gradually to 40–42 °C, measured with an infrared thermometer, and held for 3–5 minutes per zone
Energy adjusted to how it feelsIt should feel very warm but not stinging. Tell us at once if it feels too hot
Finish and leave straight awayThe skin is warm and pink for about 1–2 hours. Apply your usual body cream

Course and results

Sessions 1–4Temporarily smoother, softer skin1–3 sessions a week. The early effect comes from slight fluid retention and improved circulation
Sessions 5–10Firmness becomes noticeableNew collagen begins to accumulate, the skin feels firmer to the touch and the dimpling becomes shallower
After 10–15 sessionsFull result of the courseMeasurements and comparison photographs. The result is usually clearest 1–2 months after the last session
Every 4–8 weeksMaintenanceRepeated periodically alongside exercise and weight control, because collagen continues to decline with age
Who should not have it

Pregnancy; a pacemaker or implanted electronic device; metal implants in the treatment area (including permanent filler or silicone); dermatitis, open wounds or infection in the area; severe varicose veins or a blood clot; an active autoimmune flare; diabetes with peripheral neuropathy (reduced heat sensation, risk of burns); and medication that increases heat sensitivity. A rare risk is a superficial burn or temporary dark mark if the skin gets too hot, which we prevent by measuring the skin temperature throughout treatment

Frequently Asked Questions

Can cellulite be cured completely?

No, because the fibrous bands and fat beneath the skin remain. RF thickens and smooths the skin so the dimpling is visibly shallower, and periodic maintenance is needed. Deep, clearly dimpled grades may also need release of the fibrous bands.

How hot does it get? Does it hurt?

The skin is kept at no more than 42 °C. It feels like a warm compress or hot stone, with no stinging. If it feels too hot, tell us at once so the energy can be adjusted.

How many sessions before I see results?

Most people notice firmer skin after sessions 4–6, with the full result after 10–15 sessions, depending on skin condition and age.

Can RF reduce fat?

Only slightly, in the superficial fat layer. Its main purpose is skin tightening. For fat reduction, use Cool Shape or V-Shape and follow with RF.
