Radiofrequency therapy delivers radiofrequency waves into subcutaneous fat to heat and destroy fat cells. The latest generation devices combine radiofrequency with other technologies like infrared light therapy or ultrasound. Treatments often last 30-60 minutes and multiple sessions may be needed to see results. Areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms and back can be targeted.
High-intensity focused ultrasound uses ultrasound energy to heat and destroy fat cells under the skin without harming surrounding tissues. The treatment is painless and takes about 30 minutes. HIFU has been shown to reduce fat by up to 25-30% after a single treatment through non-invasive tightening and contouring of the skin.
Low-level laser therapy promotes fat cell breakdown through photothermolysis. A gentle laser beam targets and damages fat cells, stimulating the body's natural fat metabolism and removal processes. Treatments take 30-60 minutes and multiple sessions over several weeks may be needed. Results are gradual and long-lasting.
Non-Invasive Skin Tightening
Medical Aesthetic Devices can also achieve facial and body skin tightening through non-surgical means. Radiofrequency devices deliver radiofrequency energy to heat deeper skin tissues, stimulating collagen production. Treatments take 30-60 minutes and a series may be needed. Popular areas include the face, neck, abdomen and thighs.
High-intensity focused ultrasound works in a similar manner by heating collagen tissue and tightening skin without surgery. HIFU tightens skin through an incremental tightening process by applying precisely focused ultrasound energy below the skin's surface.
Laser skin tightening utilizes laser energy to stimulate collagen production and contraction for firmer, lifted skin. Fractional laser treatments use specific wavelengths to target columns of tissue while leaving micro-channels between the treated areas. This induces collagen regeneration with minimal downtime.
Low-level laser therapy and light-based modalities like intense pulsed light can also improve laxity and wrinkles by stimulating collagen. Treatments are usually quick and painless with no significant recovery. Results gradually improve over a series.
Minimally Invasive Body Shaping
Some newer devices allow more targeted body contouring through minimally invasive procedures. Radiofrequency devices utilize customized applicators or probes to penetrate deeper tissues for fat reduction. Treatments apply directed radiofrequency energy to heat fat cells from within, eliminating them through cellular damage and release of fatty acids.
Focused ultrasound uses high-intensity focused ultrasound to heat and destroy fat cells from within through non-invasive probes placed on the skin. Precise thermal damage is achieved with minimal effects on surrounding tissues.
