Ultrasound & Radiofrequency
Ultrasound waves have been used in medicine with great success since 1980 for the disintegration of kidney stones (ESWL). Now we use optimised ultrasound waves to reduce fat cells. Recently ultrasound based machines such as ultrashape, liposonix, ulthera and accent ultra have become available for body contouring. Other technologies such as Zeltiq and Zerona devices utilise application of cold tempratures or low level laser therapy.
Our machines address the underlying causes of cellulite and body fat.
The dimpling appearance of the skin is a result of collagen pulling
the skin down, and the thinning of collagen, which allows fat to push
up into the skin. The contraction of collagen blocks blood vessels,
causing the skin to protrude and appear dimpled.
In order to treat the cellulite, we must relax the tissues and improve
the circulation in the skin.
We achieve this with a combination of Ultrasound, radio-frequency, Cryo
[cooling] and Vacuum massage.
Radiofrequency waves heat up the tissues under the superficial skin layers to stimulate collagen synthesis and also have an effect in reducing superficial and also deep fat. Subsequent massage aids in removal of fat from the body.
This treatment can be used in combination with other
procedures such as mesotherapy.
Effects on the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue
Before Treatment.
Enlarged fat cells bulge upwardstowards the skin surface, giving the
skin the typical orange peel appearance. The inelastic vertical connective
tissue fibres do not stretch along with the surrounding adipose tissue,
which leads to the undesirable dimpling. Local blood circulation is
significantly reduced.
Oscillating sound waves are introduced into the body. Radio frequency and suction massage are used to produce a synergistic effect. The connective tissue relaxes, and the firmness of the epidermis increases. Blood circulation in the tissue is significantly enhanced. Collagen production is stimulated, strengthening the dermis and epidermis.
The results are improved firmness and restored natural elasticity of the skin and connective tissue along with a visible and long-lasting improvement in skin texture.
