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…

Red light therapy: is a 10-minute treatment enough?

Red light therapy: is a 10-minute treatment enough?

Red and infrared LED light therapy (What does red light therapy do?) is highly effective and extremely safe for both cosmetic purposes and health conditions (back pain, musculoskeletal injuries, seasonal affective disorder, etc.). With a high-power LED unit, 10 minutes may suffice, though 20 minutes (and occasionally 30 minutes) would be preferable. A high-power device is one delivering approximately 60-200mW/cm². Anything exceeding 200mW/cm² for the body or 120mW/cm² for the face is unwise unless conducted in a professional environment with meticulously crafted protocols and for a briefer duration…

Red (and infrared) light therapy: all you need to know

Red (and infrared) light therapy: all you need to know

Infrared and red light therapy, often termed photobiomodulation and mostly applied via LEDs, is a non-invasive treatment that employs specific wavelengths of light to stimulate healing and address a variety of health and aesthetic conditions. This innovative therapy has surged in popularity in the last decade, celebrated for its efficacy, safety, and adaptability. In this article, we will explore the scientific foundations of red and infrared LED light therapy, clarifying its mechanisms, its multiple health benefits and the practical considerations for its application…

Acoustic wave therapy: cellulite is not a good application for it

Acoustic wave therapy: cellulite is not a good application for it

What is now euphemistically called acoustic wave therapy (AWT) goes by several other names: pressure wave therapy, extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT, the correct name and the original one coined by scientists), shockwave therapy (the shortened version of the correct name) and lipotripsy (the most ridiculous one I have seen). Before shockwaves were used for (questionable) cellulite removal, they were initially used to break down kidney and gallbladder stones, hence the medical name lithotripsy, meaning breaking down stones. From that, one crafty marketer coined the term “lipotripsy”, i.e. breaking down fat, although shockwaves do NOT physically break down 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…

Foods that reverse glycation: cranberry juice polyphenols, skin aging and cellulite

Foods that reverse glycation: cranberry juice polyphenols, skin aging and cellulite

Glycation is one of the main aspects and causes of cellulite and skin ageing. Glycation is caused when sugars bond with collagens (there are 28 types of collagen in the human body). The end results of sugar-collagen bonding are called advanced glycation-end products (AGEs).

Cellulite vs 'fat' vs lipedema: the facts

Cellulite vs 'fat' vs lipedema: the facts

Subcutaneous adipose tissue is a distinct fat tissue UNDER the skin. This is the fat that can be removed by liposuction. Cellulite is a totally different thing. It is not fat under the skin, it is fat INSIDE the skin and it is, of course, found ABOVE the subcutaneous adipose tissue. As it is part of the skin, it can obviously not be removed by liposuction…

Infrared and red light therapy after ultrasound cavitation

Infrared and red light therapy after ultrasound cavitation

At the clinic we use ultrasound cavitation for cellulite reduction, focused with great precision on the hypodermis and dermis, leaving the epidermis alone, as it should be for this application. And we use LED red light therapy, mainly in the infrared wavelength, to maximise the results of our deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation treatments. It is now firmly established that infrared and red light therapy boosts mitochondrial function and thus cellular energy, and we have observed that when applied following cavitation treatment, it significantly improves the outcomes of cavitation for cellulite reduction…

How to tone glutes without growing them and without gaining weight

How to tone glutes without growing them and without gaining weight

The gluteus maximus is a muscle which almost no man or woman can have enough of, simply because it makes the butt area look strong, beautifully curvy and sexy. However, some people would prefer to have just a toned butt but not too toned or big. How can one do that? It’s simple. Do lots of intensive resistance exercise two to three times a week, for several weeks. And when you reach the stage where your muscles don’t just tone but they start growing bigger, stop and switch to maintenance resistance training for that area, once every two weeks…

Can you use red light therapy with retinol?

Can you use red light therapy with retinol?

Depending on the type of retinol you are using, it may be quite harsh/sensitising on your skin, especially when combined with light. So applying retinol before LED treatment is not recommended. In fact, light skin absorption is maximum when it is cleansed with nothing applied on it. You can always apply actives after treatment…

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…

Cellulite after weight loss: why does it sometimes look worse?

Cellulite after weight loss: why does it sometimes look worse?

When you put on weight adipocytes (fat cells) in your deeper, subcutaneous adipose tissue fill up with fat and that give you volume. Skin has to accommodate the excess volume by becoming longer. At the she time, adipocytes in your more superficial hypodermal adipose tissue also fill up with fat and we call that cellulite. When you lose weight you mainly lose fat from the subcutaneous adipose tissue and not so much from the hypodermal one…

Microneedling and cellulite: the facts

Microneedling is a popular treatment for skin rejuvenation, with mixed efficacy. It is safe and affective for epidermal rejuvenation, but not so much for dermal rejuvenation. Microneedling uses multiple ultra-fine needles to temporarily create tiny holes in the skin. The holes, comprising an injury to the skin, stimulate the skin’s…

Skinny with cellulite: why do slim, young women (even models) get cellulite?

Skinny with cellulite: why do slim, young women (even models) get cellulite?

Cellulite/skin laxity are known to typically affect women after the age of 30 and become more pronounced by the age of 40 and 50. They also usually affect non-slim women, from curvy to overweight. In fact a research paper analysed here has explained how getting older and/or putting on weight in women but not in men leads to the development of cellulite - and loose skin. However, we also see young or skinny women who also suffer from cellulite / skin looseness. How is this possible?

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.

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.

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.
