A consultation with an experienced professional is necessary to review your medical history and aesthetic goals. This step helps create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that the radiofrequency-based body contouring treatment is appropriate for you.
RF-Based Body Contouring Treatment
How This RF-Based Body Contouring Treatment Works
This treatment emits radiofrequency energy that selectively heats the fat layer beneath the skin, raising its temperature to trigger apoptosis—a natural process of fat cell destruction. The surrounding skin and tissue remain unaffected, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience. Over time, the body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells through the lymphatic system, resulting in a more contoured appearance.
Suitable Areas for Treatment
This radiofrequency-based body contouring treatment is versatile and can effectively target localized fat over large areas, making it ideal for overall body shaping. Its ability to address multiple regions in a single session enhances efficiency.
The areas that can be targeted include:
- Abdomen: Ideal for contouring and slimming the midsection, especially for individuals dealing with post-pregnancy weight gain or sedentary lifestyles, enhancing the torso’s overall appearance.
- Thighs: Both inner and outer thighs can be treated, effectively reducing fat deposits that are often resistant to diet and exercise, resulting in more toned legs.
- Flanks and Love Handles: This treatment targets the flanks (waist and lower back) to reduce ‘love handles’, creating a more sculpted and defined waistline.
- Hips: Challenging fat deposits around the hips are precisely addressed, promoting a more balanced and proportionate body shape.
The Treatment Process
Initial Consultation and Assessment
Pre-Treatment Preparation
Patients are advised to stay hydrated before their appointment, as hydration increases the effectiveness of RF energy in targeting fat cells. It is also recommended to avoid strenuous activities that may cause dehydration.
Procedure Overview
- Setup: The patient lies comfortably on a treatment bed while an adjustable panel is positioned approximately one inch above the targeted area.
- Treatment Duration: Each session typically lasts 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
- Comfort Monitoring: Throughout the procedure, practitioners frequently check in to ensure comfort levels remain high.
Post-Treatment Care
This includes maintaining proper hydration, which helps the body efficiently flush out the destroyed fat cells. Patients should also avoid heavy meals immediately after the procedure and refrain from dehydrating activities, such as alcohol consumption, for at least 24 hours.

Results You Can Expect
Timeline for Visible Changes
Patients typically notice visible fat reduction within 2 to 4 weeks of beginning treatment. Optimal results are typically seen within 4 to 12 weeks after completing the recommended sessions, as the body continues to eliminate fat cells.
Circumference Reduction
On average, patients see a 1 to 2-inch reduction in the circumference of the treated area. However, results may vary based on individual factors such as metabolism, lifestyle, and initial body fat percentage.
