I am plus-sized and can’t find a radiofrequency / cavitation treatment to treat me effectively

Radiofrequency and ultrasound cavitation treatments, when provided with good equipment and by a well-trained, experienced and knowledgable therapist, remain THE best technologies for skin tightening and cellulite (far better and safer than HIFU and RF microneedling).

However, most such machines available on the market are of low to very low power and are suited more to face treatments or to tiny body areas, than larger body areas.

This is especially true for larger-sized people, where there is simply more volume / surface area to treat. This means that plus-sized people are let down by most equipment manufacturers and consequently by most clinics and salons.

Unfortunately, most RF/cavitation machines are not even good enough for petite people, let alone curvy people

If a treatment, for example, is of so low power that is needs to be applied on an A4 area (600cm2) for 20 minutes to be effective, it will take 80 minutes to treat the back of thighs, outer thighs and buttocks (typical request from most people) on a “normal” sized person (size 10-12).

This is way too long, so most clinics simply do 40 minutes when 80 are needed with such equipment, letting down their clients. Many treatments are that much inadequate, so regular-sized clients already get a raw deal at many clinics and salons.

On a plus-sized person that could easily double, i.e. 160 minutes would be necessary for good treatment, which is totally impractical, so large-sized people are really let down by the industry.

Luckily, some machines are indeed powerful enough to treat larger-sized people. Combined with good training (essential to avoid adverse reactions), plus sized people can get great results with such equipment.

In some cases, even with the best equipment sometimes treatment times must be longer, but they should never be so long that they become inconvenient or too expensive. Perhaps 25% longer treatment to accommodate larger sizes makes sense.

How do I choose the right RF / ultrasound technology suitable for plus-sized people?

As a therapist / clinic owner, don’t base your decisions on the profit projections and the marketing fluff salespeople give you. Instead, start asking for specifications.

As a client, don’t base your decisions on TikTok reals, selfies and (obviously) fake before and after pictures and also start asking for specifications.

And equally importantly, you must actually speak to the people at the clinic and use your common sense to ascertain their level of training, knowledge and experience, after you first, of course, choose a powerful enough technology at a clinic near you.

What RF/ultrasound power is suitable to treat larger sizes?

A good RF machine for body use must have at least 250W of maximum power - anything else is a waste of money. And a good ultrasound cavitation machine must be 50W or more.

Of course, with power comes responsibility, so make sure you get trained appropriately in order to provide both an effective AND safe treatment to your clients.
