RF Radiofrequencies made their appearance many decades ago and have remained in the field of medicine until today. The reason is simple, as they are considered multitasking devices, capable of dealing with many problems together, in a single session. Radiofrequency RF therapy is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure that uses multipolar radiofrequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, causing collagen fibers to contract and tighten. So while you enjoy the sensation of a warm massage, your body is actually gradually reshaping itself.
Body RF therapy is often used as an alternative to more invasive procedures such as a Body Lift and is popular because it has no recovery time. The treatment is completely safe and has minimal side effects, making it an excellent choice for those who want to achieve skin tightening without undergoing surgery.
Cavitation is a technology that uses ultrasound at 36KHz to act on the intercellular space of adipose tissue. These ultrasounds cause the creation of cavities (bubbles) inside the fat cells, essentially breaking them and liquefying the fat they contain.
The purpose of cavitation therapy is to reduce the number of fat cells in a specific area of the body, thereby reducing local fat there. The liquefaction of fat allows its easier elimination from the body, naturally through the lymphatic system and urination.
As mentioned above, the RF Radiofrequencies of Lipo 3Max Plus are neither unipolar nor bipolar, but multipolar, so they can act at different levels and at different depths depending on the headpiece and the settings we will choose, with a result that it has double action and achieves both tightening and lipolysis at the same time.
Each pass of the headpiece over the skin gradually increases the temperature internally and only a few passes are enough to reach the desired temperature of 42-45 degrees Celsius inside the skin, while the skin remains intact and without feeling any discomfort.
So when we want to achieve tightening and act against skin sagging, then we choose the setting where the multipolar radiofrequencies focus more superficially at a depth of only 2-6 millimeters, in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue.
This thermal energy causes the collagen fibers to contract, activates the fibroblasts and causes the production of new collagen. This procedure offers skin tightening, with consequent improvement in the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, where present. Whereas when we want to achieve lipolysis, we choose the setting where the multipolar radiofrequencies focus at a depth of up to 20 millimeters, where the fatty tissue is located.
The increase in local temperature to levels of 42-45 degrees Celsius leads to the breakdown of the fat cell membrane and the melting of the fat. Thus, the gradual destruction of fat cells leads to a reduction in the fat thickness there and as we know, once the fat cells are destroyed, they are not regenerated in that area again. The number of fat cells that the human body has is 20-25 million and if some of them are destroyed, then they are not created again and therefore the total number of fat cells in this area gradually decreases.
And of course the excellent properties of Lipo 3Max Plus are completed with the rhythmic suction of Vacuum - Deep Tissue Massage or otherwise known as 'Drainage', offering a mechanical, but at the same time intense and enjoyable thermal massage, which increases the lymphatic and blood circulation to 100%.
This achieves the reduction of fluid retention and the increase of the drainage of toxins through the circulation, achieving an impressive reduction of cellulite where it exists.
Thanks to their absolute safety, Body RF Radiofrequencies can be applied literally everywhere, both on the body and on the face. On the body, they are usually applied to the following areas:
The ability to adjust the intensity and depth of action of the radiofrequencies to the specific needs of each person and each area where the treatment will be applied, makes the Lipo 3Max Plus technology extremely effective for many aesthetic needs.
For lipolysis and local fat reduction, the radiofrequency setting is focused to a depth of approximately 20 millimeters so that the thermal energy acts on the fatty tissue. This leads to the liquefaction of fat and the reduction of the number of fat cells, in order to reduce the fat thickness in the treatment area.
Instead, to address skin laxity and tighten the skin, the radiofrequency treatment is focused more superficially at a depth of just 2-6mm. Thus the thermal energy acts on the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, activating the fibroblasts and causing the production of new collagen, thus offering skin tightening and improvement of the appearance of the skin.
The treatment begins and successive passages of the headpiece are made in the treatment area, in order to reach the ideal temperature of 42-45 degrees Celsius. This is confirmed by continuous measurement with a special digital infrared thermometer, which is an important tool, which continuously monitors the increase in temperature on the skin, ensuring that the appropriate temperature for the treatment is achieved. This is important to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment.
The desired temperature is usually reached within 2-3 minutes of application of the treatment. Our goal is then to maintain this high temperature consistently throughout the application in order to achieve the desired RF targets.
After treatment, we will record the treatment plan in your medical files. This includes details of the areas treated, the intensities used and any other important information. Then the next appointment is rescheduled, which for better and faster results should not exceed 7 days.
Before any radiofrequency treatment it would be preferable to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and to solariums, in order to avoid skin irritations.
You should adjust your diet properly and drink plenty of water (around 2 litres per day) for better metabolism and faster elimination of toxins.
The Vacuum - Deep Tissue Massage headpiece, which has the function of suction, can be not so comfortable on the days of your menstruation and you may have to schedule your appointments not around these days.
If there is any redness after the treatment, apply a nourishing moisturizing cream or a soothing aloe vera cream to the area.
Immediately after the treatment, it would be good to continue the increased consumption of water, approximately around 2 litres per day, to eliminate the body toxins.
Try to do some form of aerobic exercise every day, such as walking or cycling or any other activity that pleases you, as this increases your metabolism and optimizes the results of your treatments.
Radiofrequency treatment usually provides immediate results from the hyperemia it causes and this automatically makes the skin look brighter. But at the same time it also offers long-term results, from the production of collagen, which leads to skin tightening. It is important to keep in mind that the effects of radiofrequency treatment are gradual and cumulative.
You will see a result every time you finish your session and the results will get better and better as you complete a certain number of sessions (4 - 6 sessions). Because the treatment stimulates fibroblasts, the result continues to optimize in the following months after the end of your sessions and the maximum effect can be seen in 3-6 months and usually lasts up to 2 years.
First of all, at Derm & Plastic Surgery Clinics we have the original Lipo 3Max Plus device, which is FDA approved and completely safe. In addition, in our Clinics, treatment protocols are set only by qualified Doctors and applied exclusively by qualified medical personnel.
In our Clinics we offer high quality services with the highest standards and at extremely affordable prices (value for money). All you need to do is to book your appointment, so that we can inform you about our medical protocols!
Truth: Commercial tightening creams may promise impressive results, but their results are usually modest and temporary. Most creams cannot penetrate deep enough into the skin to provide long-lasting firming results. Instead, radiofrequencies heat the deep layers of the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen from within, with more impressive and permanent results.
Truth: Unfortunately expectant mothers will have to be a little patient, because pregnancy is one of the few contraindications that radiofrequency has and it is better to postpone your treatment after your pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Truth: Surgery offers clearly better and more immediate skin tightening results in just one procedure. However, it is a surgical procedure, with postoperative scars, possible complications and higher costs than radiofrequencies. Surgery is almost the only option for people with high degrees of skin laxity. In contrast, RF radiofrequencies effectively treat small and moderate skin laxity and are an effective non-surgical option for those who fear surgery. The results may not be immediate, but with patience you can achieve really good results that will be worth your time and money.
Truth: Of course not. Unfortunately nowadays there are very few Doctors who invest in quality and approved, genuine devices. Most medical practices and beauty salons have fake imitations from China, which are not effective and not the original Lipo 3Max Plus device that our Clinics have. These imitations cannot reach, in a controlled and repeatable way, the temperatures and depth of action of the original device and therefore the results are not the same.
We often hear stories from our patients that they have wasted their money on ineffective radiofrequency treatments at practices that use imitations. We strongly believe that it is always a good idea to do your research and trust only Medical Clinics with genuine devices for your safety.
No, there are no side effects at all when RF treatment is performed by an experienced Doctor using a certified device such as the Lipo 3Max Plus and there are no risks to the skin, such as causing a burn, that can be seen in cheap Chinese imitations from beauty salons.
The only thing that is expected with Lipo 3Max Plus and always is observed after the treatment is the redness from the hyperemia created during the treatment and it does not last more than an hour. This redness is easily treated with a moisturizing cream.
As with any medical service, there are some people who cannot perform it. These include breastfeeding and pregnant women, as well as people who have metal implants, because they may interact with the radiofrequency energy and cause complications. Also, special attention is required for people with a severe phlebitis problem and with varicose veins in the legs, as due to the high temperatures that are developed, these may worsen.
It’s needless to say that you can do Body RF Radiofrequency with great safety during summer, as long as you take care before and after the treatment to avoid intense exposure to the sun, so that there is no further irritation.
The number of sessions and the time intervals at which you should have your sessions vary from person to person and depending on the problem you might have. In general we would say a good number of RF sessions is around 6-12 sessions spaced every 7 days.
After the treatment protocol is completed, it is also important to maintain the result. For this reason at the end of your sessions, a re-evaluation will be done by the Doctors, where the time intervals and how many maintenance sessions should be done each year will be determined in detail. Usually if there is no particularly big problem, 3-6 repeat sessions every 6 months are enough to maintain an excellent result.
