This is a common question at the clinic: “If fat is removed from a stubborn fat area / cellulite tissue with radiofrequency and/or ultrasound cavitation, where does the fat go?” Due to massive internet misinformation, many people think that a treatment, ANY treatment, can eliminate fat there and then. However, as we know from physics matter cannot be eliminated like that - except with a nuclear reaction, which is not a good idea…
THE CELLULITE SCHOOL
There are three types of cellulite, depending on tissue depth, and superficial cellulite “lives” in the superficial hypodermis. There is widespread confusion regarding cellulite, the hypodermis and subcutaneous tissue and their depths in the scientific literature - not to mention general information that you can find on the web…
BEACHY LEGS
With any effective body treatment, it is good to leave one, two or more days between sessions in order to allow for the skin to recover. So with a deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency treatment, you must leave at least 2-3 days between sessions. With ineffective, low power RF treatments, you can leave less time between sessions (as little…
BEACHY LEGS
It all depends on what you are trying to achieve with a facial. If you wish to have some exfoliation, pimple extraction, some superficial (epidermal) skincare application of a couple of products and a nice massage, a classic facial is a great idea. On the other hand, if you are looking for deeper treatment that affects the dermis, hypodermis and the lower face connective tissue known as the SMAS, in order to effect skin tightening and deep anti-ageing, then a radiofrequency facial is the only way to go…
BEACHY LEGS, LED LIGHT THERAPY
Which is better for body skin tightening and cellulite: laser or radio frequency? Absolutely NOT laser. Laser is way too superficial and also pointless for skin tightening or cellulite. There are two types of lasers: strong, ablative, lasers aim to burn the surface of the skin to stimulate new epidermal growth. Cellulite, however, is found at the deepest layer of the skin (hypodermis), not the most superficial (epidermis), so ablative lasers do not work for cellulite at all…

Genuine, AI-free content
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 24+ years on, we still keep it real, regardless of AI.

Disclaimers
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 14+ 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.
