What Is Radio Frequency Assisted Liposuction?
Radio Frequency Assisted Liposuction is a liposuction technique that uses radio-wave energy to melt away fat while at the same time tightening the skin and body
How Does it Work?
It starts with a needle puncture over the fat of the problem area.
A Radiofrequency transmitting electrode probe is then inserted into the incisions
The RF waves are guided through the fat using another electrode (ensures that the temperature of the treatment area does not get too hot)
As the RF waves dissolve the fat, it is immediately suctioned out of the body
Production of collagedn beneath the skin is stimulated and the skin tightens (making the treatment area appear slimmer, more toned, and more youthful)
What are the Benefits of Radiofrequency Liposuction?
Minimally invasive – No Cutting
Leaves Little Scarring
Reduces chances of infection
Reduces discomfort during the recovery period
More accurate as the surgeon can guide the probe to precise areas
Can be used to treat numerous problem areas
The Probe automatically cuts off the heat if a particular area is getting too hot, which prevents heat damage or other complications
