What Is Radio Frequency?

One of the newest fat reduction technologies is radiofrequency. Radio Frequency delivers energy to the areas of fat by driving controlled heat deep within the fat cells and subsequently destroys them. 

Radiofrequency is a very versatile procedure that can be used on any area of the body – from large areas like the abdomen to very small areas such as the chin – with the same degree of success.

It uses sound waves to vibrate and cause mechanical disruption of fat cells causing them to break down.

​

Another benefit of radiofrequency is its ability to reduce both fat and tighten the skin by directing energy to target collagen especially when diet and exercise has failed. Radio Frequency is also ideal for the age-old problem of spot reduction. The treatment program is designed to improve body shape and reduce unwanted fat from areas such as face and neck, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, hips, knees, calves, ankles and male breasts.

It’s usually performed using a combination of Bipolar and Unipolar radio frequency on the area to be treated which is heated to a therapeutic temperature range.

A number of passes are performed over the area, maintaining an optimum and predetermined temperature range. This process commences the breakdown and removal of intra cellular waste and unwanted fat from specific and treated areas of the body.

​

Radio Frequency procedure done to the human body conducts current and therefore act as part of the electrical circuit, any resistance encountered by the energy flow will cause heat to be produced at the site of maximum resistance, which can be used to cut or coagulate tissue.

​

Treatment areas are mapped out to recontour your shape, aided by accurate photographic record and measurements at each step in the process.

The treatment usually takes 15 to 60 minutes. Since each person’s pain tolerance and threshold varies, it is difficult to quantify how painful or uncomfortable the treatment is.
