There are two types of radiofrequency: stimulating and destructive. Safe, stimulative RF stimulates the synthesis functional collagen tissue, is provided always below the pain threshold, does not need anaesthetic cream, involves continuous movement of…
Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the two most effective SAFE technologies for cellulite reduction and skin tightening (far more effective and safe than e.g. RF microneedling or HIFU). Depth of treatment depends on the type of ultrasound or RF equipment you use, the settings you apply and even the contact medium you apply on the skin. Power depends on the equipment you use and the settings you apply…
It is quite natural to be excited about seeing results from your aesthetic treatment, be it an anti-ageing procedure, a cellulite removal treatment etc. And living in a fast paced world, where instant gratification is considered the norm, people want to see results from anything they undertake as soon as possible - ideally yesterday. But let’s see how realistic such expectations are and what to expect from your cellulite treatment, really…
Radiofrequency is a technology aiming to provide deep heat INSIDE the skin, as opposed to a hot shower, a hot pack or an infrared-emitting device that provides superficial heat ON the skin.
RF is used to stimulate processes in the dermis and hypodermis (second and third layers of the skin, respectively, while at the same time not overheating the epidermis (as is the case with a hot shower, a hot pack or an infrared lamp.)
Cavitation treatments are generally very safe and have a low rate of adverse reactions that would potentially prevent you from having a bath or shower. Usually the only problem experienced after cavitation treatments is mild redness / skin sensitivity, which dissipates within a few minutes or hours. As long as skin does not look/feel irritated, then you can have a normal - but not too…
radiofrequency treatment results
Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency provided under at intensity just under the pain threshold is the most effective SAFE skin tightening and cellulite reduction treatment available today (superficial or low-power RF doesn’t work). Radiofrequency works by stimulating collagen contraction, collagen cell proliferation, collagen and elastin…
Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the strongest SAFE technology for skin tightening and cellulite reduction and provides good results in 6-12 sessions. This kind of technology works always under the pain threshold* and with an experienced therapist should be 99% safe or better. Experience has shown that with proper, deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency the results of any given…
Medical, aesthetic and complementary treatments all try to steer the body towards a specific direction and they generally work, but it is not guaranteed that the body will react in a specific way / after a specific number of sessions. Such treatments are an effort towards a result, not a guarantee of an exact result…
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…
With proper, deep-acting, high-power radio frequency, provided under the pain threshold, clients typically experience some immediate skin contraction, which sometimes is quite impressive. This contraction is brought about by the effect of heat on fibroblasts (collagen cells), which contract the skin’s collagen network…
Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is by far the best and safest cellulite reduction and skin tightening technology and typically can offer great results in 6-12 sessions. But do these results last for ever or would maintenance treatments be needed? This is one of the most common questions at the clinic so I will present the answers here in detail…
The body, including the skin, needs regular strong-but-safe stimulation to change. Plus it needs time between sessions of stimulation to recover and built stronger issue. This is how building muscle at the gym works and this is how skin tightening / cellulite reduction treatments work: by providing regular, as strong-but-safe stimulation to tissues: muscles or skin, respectively. However, the body has its own limits, which precludes too intensive stimulation: If you suddenly use 150kg weights for your squats you will not build a more toned butt faster, you will end up in hospital with a knee injury. Likewise, if you use an aesthetic treatment which is three times stronger than…

Instant miracles and “amazing cellulite transformations” do not exist, no matter how expensive the treatment - don’t be naive
There is a lot of misinformation on cellulite, due to a mix of urban myth and marketing hype. And there are many things that you should not waste time doing when it comes to cellulite removal. In fact it is not a coincidence that we devote as many articles on what not works for cellulite on our “How to get rid of cellulite” guide, as we do on cellulite myths…
A list of the most effective cellulite treatments - in real life, not in the virtual reality of social media
As most women know by experience, most cellulite treatments simply do not work. And when we say they don't work, we mean that they either do not work at all or that they offer so poor results that you would need 20, 30 or 50 sessions to be happy with the results. Here we will review the best treatments, according to effectiveness (more effective treatments are presented first, ineffective treatments are presented last)…

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

Efficacy: As with any medical / aesthetic treatment or skin product, results vary from person to person depending on lifestyle, genetics, state of health (how each individual body responds to treatment), so specific results cannot be guaranteed. BTW, there is NO cellulite removal or long-term skin tightening/lifting with one, two or even three sessions and there is neither 100% (nor permanent) cellulite removal/skin tightening/lifting, with ANY technique, including ours, so we never make such misleading claims.
Safety: Our treatments have proven 99%+ safe over the last 13+ years (with minor/temporary irritation occurring in the other 1%- of treatments). However, as with any medical/aesthetic treatment or skin product, sensitivity varies from person to person, and from time to time even on the same person, depending on lifestyle, genetics and state of health (how each individual body responds to a treatment at a specific time), so we cannot guarantee 100% safety.
