Body contouring
This works on skin firmness and local fat deposits — where diet and exercise have already done their part and the contour still will not settle. It does not reduce weight.
What it is and when it is needed
Radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers: it tightens the skin’s structure and acts on local fat deposits, while improving microcirculation in the treated area.
The method is for areas that do not respond to diet and exercise, but it replaces neither. Without changes in lifestyle the result does not hold.
- A course is needed: one session produces no change.
- Diet and activity are what hold the result.
- This is not weight loss and not an alternative to liposuction.
Who it is for
The method addresses local problems, not overall weight. If the goal is losing weight, this will not achieve it, and we will say so at the consultation.
- Local fat deposits on the abdomen, thighs or arms.
- Reduced skin firmness after weight loss.
- The appearance of cellulite.
- Loose skin on the abdomen after pregnancy, once the doctor says the time is right.
- Maintaining body shape alongside exercise.
How it goes
-
Consultation
The specialist assesses the area and a realistic expectation, and goes through the course and what the treatment will not do.
-
The session 30–45 min
The area is worked over with the device; it feels like pleasant warmth and massage.
-
The course
Sessions are repeated regularly — usually once or twice a week.
-
Maintenance
The result is held with less frequent sessions and with lifestyle.
Results
The change accumulates across the course and is measured in centimetres and skin condition rather than on the scales — your weight may not change at all.
It is not permanent. Without diet and activity the deposits return, so the treatments are help rather than a substitute.
Aftercare
No recovery is needed, but what happens between sessions decides the result.
- Drink enough water — it matters for lymphatic drainage.
- Keep up physical activity during the course.
- Avoid very hot baths and saunas for a day.
- Do not expect a change on the scales: measure in centimetres.
- Keep to the schedule — missed sessions reduce the result.
Contraindications
Some of these are temporary. The specialist decides after assessing you.
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- Implanted electronic devices (a pacemaker).
- Metal implants in the treated area.
- Cancer.
- Acute inflammation, infection or broken skin in the area; venous thrombosis.
- Uncontrolled diabetes, serious cardiovascular disease — assessed individually.
Common questions
Will I lose weight?
No. The treatment works on local deposits and skin firmness; your weight may not change. It does not replace weight loss.
How many sessions will I need?
Almost always a course. The specialist will give you the number after assessing the area and the goal.
Will the result last?
Only alongside diet and activity. Without them the deposits gradually return.
Is it painful?
No. It feels like pleasant warmth and massage; discomfort is unusual.
Is this a cure for cellulite?
It can improve the appearance of cellulite but does not remove it permanently — it is a structural property of the skin.
