Lipofirm PLUS’ Radiofrequency Skin Tightening for the Face or Body

Sagging skin on the neck, décolleté and face along with wrinkles are common problems associated with aging. This is mainly due to decreasing of collagen production as skin loses it's quality.  Radiofrequency (RF) system is the most commonly used procedure to stimulate the collagen production and strengthen the skin structure.  RF enables skin tightening and improvement of the skin's appearance painlessly without post-op downtime of classic surgery applications or other invasive methods.  Radiofrequency is a non-invasive way of tightening loose or lax skin around the forehead, eyes, cheeks, mouth, jaw line, jowls and also the area under the chin/neck.  This is a great way of reducing fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores and improving skin tone and texture as well as dull skin.  It can also be used for body tightening and skin improvement.  Radiofrequency treatment uses electrical pulses.  It heats the dermis (the deepest skin layer) through hand pieces without damaging the epidermis (the top layers of the skin), to stimulate new collagen growth and provide an improvement in skin laxity and appearance, to remodel and enhance dermal density with minimal risks.

• Tissue Retraction: The generated heat causes local contraction of the collagen fibres immediately tightening the skin to remodel and rejuvenate the previous effects of aging.
• Collagen Formation:  The local fibroblasts stimulates the collagen formation by heating the dermis and it then acts as a new deep foundation for the skin. This provides a new foundation to the skin’s structure and also produces further delayed tightening, which only becomes evident gradually over the following next few months.
• Improved Circulation: Radiofrequency also improves blood flow and lymphatic drainage and provides a better oxygen supply and greater toxin clearance from the skin and underlying tissues.

Ultrasound

The ultrasonic cavitation, also known as aesthetic cavitation, is a relatively new technicue that applies a phenomenon known in physics to aesthetics. This phenomenon is called cavitation and is a very smart way to reduce fat, because it is converted into liquid and then is naturally eliminated with urine. Nowadays the ultrasonic cavitation is considered as a treatment alternative to surgical liposuction as a non-invasive procedure with results obtained in short terms.

The ultrasonic cavitation reduces fat cells with certain manipulation techniques, thanks to a hand piece that is placed on the skin precisely on the area that is to be treated. The machine works with ultrasound that form bubbles in the tissues where the fat cells are located. The bubbles expand and are immediately compressed afterwards. The temperature increases due to sudden variations in pressure and the bubble implodes. This implosion damages the fat cell membrane causing the contents of the fat cell (triglycerides) to escape. The fat is removed by the lymphatic system and eventually excreted in the urine. When cavitation is followed by a lymphatic drainage treatment, the process is faster, as the drainage is very effective eliminating liquids. The low-frequency ultrasonic waves are useful in combating fat accumulations. It produces lopolysis of fatty acids from adipocytes (fat-landen cells) due to a phenomenon known as stable cavitation, and increased cell permeability of the adipocytes. Furthermore, there is a breakdown of the fibres through mechanical action. Furthermore, there is a breakdown of the fibres through mechanical action. As a result, some content of adipocytes is eliminated by the metabolism. 

Lipofirm Plus works with four different operative modes which can be adjusted according to the imperfection to be treated; it is the only cavitation device in the aesthetic market that utilises the so-called “adaptive” mode, which is an emission mode that automatically adjusts frequency emission relative to the tissue characteristics - this is undoubtedly considered as an outstanding effect which boosts treatment efficacy.

Is The Procedure Safe? 
It is a safe procedure that can be applied to anyone, but a detailed consultation will be carried out along with a complete report of your medical history.

Patients with kidney failure, liver failure, carrying a pacemaker or other electronic devices, pregnancy, lactation, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia, should avoid this procedure.

Which areas of the body can be treated?

Ultrasonic Cavitation can be performed on the calves, knees, thighs, buttocks, stomach, arms, back, neck and chin. Radio Frequency skin tightening can be performed over the whole body. Both technologies (Ultrasonic Cavitation and Radio-Frequency) can be used on the body and limbs. Only the latter can be used on the neck and face. It is equally effective on both men and women and a course of treatments is recommended, with each treatment performed every 10 to 14 days. Results are usually visible after the first treatment. If you need a longer gap between treatments (for e.g. due to a holiday), this does not negatively influence the overall treatment plan. We will take a medical history to ensure you are suitable for the treatment.

How many treatments will I need?
To see maximum results for cellulite, inch loss and body contouring an intitial course of 8 combined Ultrasonic Cavitation + Radio Frequency treatments are recommended with a review at the end.  These treatments should be taken at regular intervals with at least 10 days between treatments. Should further treatments be required we will discuss this with you at your review.
For facial, neck and decollete skin tightening. For the best results we recommend a course of 4 treatments over 4=6 weeks to kick start the process followed by 4 further monthly treatments to consolidate the effect.

Does it hurt?
 The Lipo Firm treatment is an extremely comfortable treatment and the only sensations you will experience will be a slight warmth from the radio frequency hand piece and a slight noise from the ultrasonic equipment.

Is it suitable for both men and women?
All of our treatments work equally well on both men and women.

What inch loss could I achieve from this treatment?
This will vary from person to person depending on your size and results will be greatly improved by your own commitment. The greatest result achieved so far over 8 treatments has been a loss of 16 inches in the abdominal area.
