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…

Does cavitation work on belly fat (visceral ...

Visceral fat is the fat responsible for the so-called “beer belly” look. It is also the most unhealthy fat you can have, as it increases the risk if diabetes and cardiovascular disease. So it is no wonder people ask whether they can reduce visceral fat with any method. However, as we can see healthy eating, weight loss and exercise (and lately anti-diabetic injections) are the only ways to reduce visceral fat…

What to eat before and after lipo cavitation treatment?

What to eat before and after lipo cavitation treatment?

A lot of clients ask us: “What do I need to do/not do before or after my cellulite / skin tightening treatment”: “Can I eat after cavitation?”, “Can I eat after RF treatment?, “What should I eat on cellulite treatment day?”, “What is the best food for skin tightening” etc To which the answer is: Follow a strictly healthy diet on the day you receive a cellulite treatment, to achieve maximum results; ideally, do that right before and right after treatment, in order to make the most of that specific treatment; and exercise, if possible; intensely if possible and right before or right after your treatment, if possible, for maximum results…

Radiofrequency, RF microneedling and cavitation for lipedema: do they work?

Radiofrequency, RF microneedling and cavitation for lipedema: do they work?

This is a very valid question asked by so many people in the lipedema community. However, the fact of the matter is that there is no good non-surgical treatment - be it radiofrequency, ultrasound cavitation, acoustic wave therapy, RF microneedling, HIFU, massage, red/infrared light therapy or pressotherapy. None of those non-surgical techniques or any other reduces lipedema and currently the only good solution for lipedema is surgery. Sure, exercise and healthy nutrition…

LED red / infrared light therapy after radiofrequency

LED red / infrared light therapy after radiofrequency

At most clinics LED light therapy is provided after radiofrequency as a means to calm down skin after a very superficial radiofrequency treatment, which can irritate the skin. Low level light therapy (LLLT) in the red (around 630nm) and infrared (around 850nm) wavelengths is known to help calm and heal irritated skin and has been used for this purpose for decades. At our clinic, however, we do not use superficial radiofrequency for skin tightening largely because it is pointless for this purpose: fibroblasts (collagen cells) are found in the dermis (middle skin layer), while superficial RF acts primarily in the epidermis (top skin layer)…

We also do not use superficial radiofrequency for cellulite reduction because it is utterly pointless for this purpose. Fat cells and deeper seated collagen structures

Red light vs infrared light therapy: what is best?

Red light therapy (wavelengths of 620 to 750 nm) and near infrared light therapy (wavelengths of 800 to 2,500 nm) has become very popular the last few years for both aesthetic (anti-ageing, acne, hyperpigmentation, skin rejuvenation etc) and wellness (pain relief, sports injuries, back pain, seasonal affective disorder, burns, wound healing etc) applications. Many people wonder what is the main difference between red light and near infrared (NIR) light therapy and the answer is quite simple, as we will see below...

Tighten your skin and reduce cellulite with the same treatment

Tighten your skin and reduce cellulite with the same treatment

Our LipoTherapeia cellulite treatments combine deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation with high-power LED phototherapy. Both deep, strong radiofrequency and deep, strong ultrasound help with cellulite reduction, while high-power red/infrared light therapy helps maximise radiofrequency’s and ultrasound’s results (We keep insisting on the terms “high-power” because the low-power versions of these technologies, found in many salons and clinics, simply do not work.) Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency is the gold standard technology for SAFE and effective skin tightening…

The perfect cellulite reduction plan (when money or time is not an issue)

The perfect cellulite reduction plan (when money or time is not an issue)

Here is the IDEAL cellulite removal plan, without any cut corners or compromises, i.e. where the usual time and money constraints are not issue. Most people only have two weeks left before their holidays to do something about cellulite, a limited budget (fair enough), limited time to receive treatments or to apply creams and no intention, energy or time to follow an exercise / healthy nutrition regime. But for those who have the time, money and energy, this is the best possible plan, without gimmicks or compromises.

Fibrosis massage after liposuction or cellulite surgery: how to do it at home

Fibrosis massage after liposuction or cellulite surgery: how to do it at home

In a previous article we analysed everything to do with fibrosis after liposuction/cellulite surgery (normal liposuction, vaser, laser lipo, body tight, abdominoplasty/tummy tuck, thigh lift, cellfina, subcision, cellulaze), including what causes it. On this article we focus on the specifics of how to perform a safe and effective anti-fibrosis massage fibrosis after lipo/cellulite surgery.

RF fat melting: hype vs facts

RF fat melting: hype vs facts

I don’t know where this “fat melting” idea came from, but those who invented this phrase a few decades ago, should have known that fat is already liquid in fat cells. In fact, scientists call the lipid content in fat cells “the adipocyte lipid droplet”. So next time you visit a clinic where they claim to melt your fat…

Cavitation treatment: how often should I have it?

Cavitation treatment: how often should I have it?

Deep-acting, high-power radiofrequency and deep acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the two best technologies for both cellulite removal and skin tightening. With a high-power setup, the optimum frequency for treatments is twice a week, with a two or three day gap between sessions. The 2-3 day gap allows for recovery between sessions, which means maximum intensity can be used during treatment (in the few cases where deep, strong treatment is provided)…

How to choose the best RF cellulite/skin tightening treatment in your area

How to choose the best RF cellulite/skin tightening treatment in your area

There are hundreds of radiofrequency machines on the market, for both home and professional use, and tens of thousands of practitioners worldwide offering it, with varying levels of knowledge, training and experience. Therefore the words ‘radio frequency treatment’ can mean anything and nothing. So not all radiofrequency treatments are the same: effectiveness can range from almost zero to impressive…

RF / cavitation: gel, cream, serum, glycerol or oil? Which conductive medium is best?

“Radiofrequency” is an all encompassing term for treatment with different types of high frequency electrical currents. Different machines utilise different frequencies, from an extra low of 300kHz to an extra high of 5GHz. The types of physical phenomena at play on those different machines are quite different…

For an effective bum lift, the upper buttocks must also be treated with RF

For an effective bum 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…

Superficial cellulite: how to specifically treat it with radiofrequency

Superficial cellulite: how to specifically treat it with radiofrequency

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…

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

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

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…

Radio frequency facial vs classic facial: what is best?

Radio frequency facial vs classic facial: what is best?

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…

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.
