Does lack of sleep cause aging?

Does lack of sleep cause aging?

Lack of sleep itself is an indirect cause of cellulite and a direct cause of skin aging. Lack of sleep is not as important as sugar intake, calorie intake, lack of exercise, smoking/vaping, alcohol intake etc, but because it indirectly leads us to the above behaviours, it does play a role. Lack of sleep makes us feel more tired and consequently leads to increased food intake, especially sugar-containing food, smoking/vaping, alcohol intake and stimulant intake…

For an impressive non-surgical butt lift, the upper buttocks must also be treated with RF

For an impressive non-surgical butt lift, the upper buttocks must also be treated with RF

Droopy, loose skin on the buttocks is common these days, due to literally “sitting on our butt” too many hours a day, due to yo-yo dieting and also due to other factors.

Not everyone wants to go through the dangers inherent with brazilian butt lift surgery (BBL). Neither it is a wise idea to go for fillers / liquid BBL, which are ridiculously expensive for a 6-month fix and can ruin the buttocks for several months or years if something goes wrong. So many people opt for three technologies: either radiofrequency, the largely inefficient and ineffective HIFU or the barbaric RF microneedling for a non-surgical bum lift…

Do you lose weight with ultrasonic cavitation?

Do you lose weight with ultrasonic cavitation?

Absolutely not. It is impossible to lose weight with any treatment of any kind, including cavitation, radiofrequency, lasers or anything else. Why is that? Because weight loss occurs when fatty acids are oxidised (“burned”) for energy in organs and muscles…

How does radio frequency treatment feel? Is it painful?

How does radio frequency treatment feel? Is it painful?

What you will feel when you have proper, i.e. high-power, deep-acting, radiofrequency treatment is mainly deep heat. If RF is properly applied, with the correct protocol, the right treatment medium and proper equipment, the surface of your skin (epidermis) will feel warm, while deep skin layers (hypodermis and dermis) will feel very hot…

Do fat burning creams work?

Do fat burning creams work?

First off let’s clarify that no cream/gel/serum can actually ever burn any fat. This is biologically impossible. Fat is oxidised (what people call “burned”) in muscles and organs after being released by fat cells. No fat oxidation occurs in white adipose fat tissue (what people call “fat”). So in essence a “fat burning” cream that works (most don’t), is a cream that helps stimulate lipolysis (= fat release from fat cells) in specific areas where stubborn fat has accumulated…

Does drinking water help with cellulite?

Does drinking water help with cellulite?

It’s official: according to a study published in The Lancet and detailed below, drinking lots of water throughout your life helps ward off body ageing and degenerative diseases - and their respective subsets: skin ageing and cellulite. Women should aim to drink 2-3 litres of water and non-caffeinated drinks and men should aim for 3-4 litres a day. Still or sparkling, makes no difference. Contrary to popular belief, sparkling water does NOT cause cellulite. But please do not count sugary/sweetened fizzy drinks, juices and juice drinks, as part of this advice.

Matcha, green tea and cellulite

Matcha, green tea and cellulite

Matcha is a special green tea variant specially developed to contain high amounts of caffeine - and a bright green colour.

Dry brushing for cellulite: learn why it doesn't work

When it come to cellulite removal at home, dry body brushing is the immediate, go-to advice by beauty “experts” the world over. “You want to reduce cellulite at home? Hey, body brush!

Some clinics only need 90 minutes to treat the whole body with RF/ultrasound, why do you need 120-150 minutes at your clinic?

Some clinics only need 90 minutes to treat the whole body with RF/ultrasound, why do you need 120-150 minutes at your clinic?

Now this client is quite tall and also curvy. This means that for her height and dress size, and even with the strongest and best RF equipment in the world (which we use) and the best treatment protocols and skills (which we use and have), she would need to receive RF treatment for her cellulite and skin looseness for: 50-60 minutes on the back/outer thighs and buttocks; 40-50 minutes on the front/inner…

What is best for cellulite reduction with radiofrequency / ultrasound: longer treatments or more treatments?

What is best for cellulite reduction with radiofrequency / ultrasound: longer treatments or more treatments?

Even with the best technology in the world we honestly recommend 6-12 sessions, for best results, with 1-day to 14-day gaps between sessions. This is because the body needs strong, regular and repeated stimulation to change (results with monthly sessions or with 1-4 sessions only exist on instagram, not in real life). However, we understand that sometimes there is simply not enough time available, hence the common question we are often asked at the clinic. The fact is that yes, there is some equivalence, in terms of treatment duration. Practically, you you can have roughly 25-33% longer sessions in order to get the same results that you would get with roughly 25-33% more sessions…

How to tighten skin on legs and reduce cellulite in your 50s and 60s

How to tighten skin on legs and reduce cellulite in your 50s and 60s

Cellulite can only be eliminated when it is at Stage 1 (visible only when pinched) or at most a very recent Stage 2 (visible when standing). By the time cellulite establishes itself to Stage 2 for a few years, it is not possible to completely eliminate it. Some women develop cellulite in the teens, most in their 20s, 30s and 40s and almost none develops cellulite in their 50s or 60s in the Western world…

How to choose the best cellulite / skin tightening treatment

How often can you do radio frequency skin tightening on stomach, face or thighs?

How often can you do radio frequency skin tightening on stomach, face or thighs?

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…

Vibration plate benefits: lymphatic drainage, skin tightening, cellulite prevention and more

Cellulite is a combination of superficial fat accumulation, loose skin, water retention, inflammation and consequent scar tissue build up.
