Radio frequency body contouring is officially the new beauty buzz and with good reason. Visible fat reduction, skin firming, tightening, plumping and refreshing, radio frequency helps you look thinner, feel better and let’s face it – more beautiful.
The treatment itself is surprisingly relaxing.
Each area on your body is treated for 20-30 minutes.
All that’s required is to show your problem areas and lie back on the treatment bed and wait for the magic to begin. The technique is so relaxing that actually it’s easy to fall fast asleep – always a sign of a good treatment.
Most patients will be able to notice an immediate result in the tightness of their skin, but results continue to emerge in the days following the treatment too. Skin is remarkably smoother and muscle tone is more visible too.
Normally, multiple sessions are required, generally 1 per week until you’ve had about 4 - 8 treatments in total, this depends on the results you want and the advice of your aesthetic surgeon.
Normally there are no side effects from the treatment, but some people might find the treatment area is a little red post treatment but this usually resolves after 30 minutes post treatment.

Radio frequency body contouring (also known as skin tightening) is becoming all kinds of popular as it removes fat, tightens the skin and improve tone, without any pain or downtime at all.
This treatment offers a non-invasive, pain-free body treatment to help reduce the appearance of cellulite, firm skin, boost collagen production and tackle any pesky fatty deposits that won’t budge with exercise.
It’s a pretty versatile treatment as it can also help reduce flabby skin, tighten bingo wings, contour and tighten a post pregnancy tummy, reduce fine lines and wrinkles (on the face and body), reduce saddle bags and even lift and tighten your bum. What’s more radio frequency body contouring comes with the guarantee that you won’t need any recovery time.
The radio frequency energy penetrates the skin layers to selectively heat the skin tissue where the collagen fibres are embedded. The local heating causes an immediate contraction of the collagen fibres, and fat cells drain then shrink, while those all important fibroblast cells (part of our connective tissue) are stimulated to produce new collagen and elastic fibres. The effect of this is tighter, smoother, younger looking skin with a visible ‘lift’. Fat cells are reduced and stubborn cellulite looks a lot less noticeable.
