Radiofrequency Lipolysis (Body)

Radiofrequency lipolysis uses RF energy to heat and break down fat while simultaneously tightening the skin by stimulating collagen. It slims and smooths areas such as the abdomen, hips, arms, thighs, bra-rolls and knees with no needles, no pain and no downtime. At GH Solutions it is delivered as a 4–6 session course that combines volume reduction with firming for a sculpted, toned result.

Radiofrequency (RF) lipolysis is a non-invasive body-contouring treatment that combines fat reduction with skin tightening in a single modality. The RF handpiece delivers energy that heats the subcutaneous fat layer, which helps break down fat and encourages it to be metabolised, while the same controlled heat reaches the dermis and stimulates fibroblasts to produce new collagen — so as the area slims, the overlying skin is also firmed and smoothed rather than left loose. This dual action makes RF lipolysis well suited to areas where both excess fat and mild skin laxity are a concern. At GH Solutions the treatment is performed in the Blue House clinic at Spa Resort Sanssouci on areas including the abdomen, hips, arms, thighs, bra-rolls and knees, with sessions running from around an hour depending on the area's size. After cleansing, a glide medium is applied and the practitioner moves the handpiece over the area in a massaging motion, building a comfortable, deep warmth; there are no needles and the treatment is painless. There is no downtime — the skin may be warm and pink briefly, but you can return to normal activities immediately. Because the fat-metabolism and collagen-building effects accumulate, a series of four to six sessions is recommended for a clear, sculpted result, supported by good hydration, a balanced diet and activity. RF lipolysis contours and firms but is not a substitute for weight loss. Contraindications screened at consultation include metal implants or a pacemaker in the treatment field, heart conditions, pregnancy and breastfeeding, advanced diabetes and reduced skin sensitivity in the area.
