Until now, the only options for body re-shaping involved surgical procedures. Liposuction tummy tucks and thigh and buttock lifts modify the body but at a high - in many respects - price. Invasive, accompanied by anesthesia risk and long recovery periods, surgery has widely varying results.
By selective dermal heating, dual mode Radiofrequency stimulates the production of new collagen, and improves body contours. Dual mode Radiofrequency treatment is quick, and requires no anesthesia or prolonged recovery times. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately.

Where can dual mode Radiofrequency treatment be used? Dual mode Radiofrequency treatment can be used to improve contours anywhere on the body. It is frequently performed to give the abdomen a flatter and smoother profile, to slim the hips and thighs and firm the upper arms.
What is cellulite? The body's muscles are wrapped in a padding of fatty connective tissue. The fatty cells, bathed in a liquid medium, are held in place by a network of fibers, nourished and cleaned by body fluids. When this process is slowed down, the tissue is flooded with waste materials that thicken into a gelatin-like substance forming pockets which migrate closer to the skin's surface. The visible result: a puckered 'orange peel' effect on the skins surface.
Is dual mode Radiofrequency safe? Incorporating advanced safety precautions that cool your skin to prevent discomfort dual mode Radiofrequency treatment is risk free when performed under the supervision of a NHS Consultant Plastic and Cosmetic Surgeon. Numerous patients have undergone dual mode Radiofrequency treatment without any adverse effects.
Treatment - what to expect During dual mode Radiofrequency treatment, your doctor will precisely heat skin's inner layer (dermis), while its outer layer (epidermis) is continually cooled. Depending on the size of the treated area treatment may take from 15 to 45 minutes. This heating causes the deep structures under your skin to tighten right away and results are visible shortly after treatment.
Following treatment, you can immediately resume all routine activities. Over time, the heating action will stimulate collagen production, giving the skin a fresh, rejuvenated appearance. Generally, no more than five to seven treatments at one to two week intervals are required. While Radiofrequency has shown to be safe, effective and long lasting, maintenance treatment may extend and improve results.
Does it hurt? While pain tolerance is individual, most people tolerate the dual mode Radiofrequency treatment well, and have little or no discomfort. Patients often describe the sensation as a warm massage. The majority of patients require no anesthesia, through topical anesthetic is an option for sensitive areas. The procedure is not accompanied by any significant side effects.
For a firmer, more proportioned body You may be dissatisfied with the appearance of your body. Although you may watch your weight and work out, you do not have the shape you desire. Isolated pockets of fat have collected in different places, giving you a bulky look. Possibly due to heredity this accumulated fat can remain unaffected by both diet and exercise.
Dual mode Radiofrequency can help reduce unsightly bulges that make you uncomfortable in your clothes. Gently reshaping your body Radiofrequency non-invasively improves your body's contours, even reducing excess inches. The procedure gives you a sculpted look without incisions, pain or downtime.
How does Dual mode Radiofrequency work? Dual mode Radiofrequency employs three mechanisms to improve cellulite. It applies deep dermal heating to the fat bundles (a) to bring about new collagen formation and skin remodeling. Stimulating blood circulation, the procedure also help drain trapped fatty deposits and toxins. Finally, its thermal activity serves to shrink fat cells (b).
