WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING ABLE TO TREAT? MICRONEEDLING IS MOST COMMONLY USED ON THE FACE TO REDUCE FINE LINES AND WRINKLES, BUT CAN ALSO BE USED TO TREAT COMMON SKIN PROBLEMS SUCH AS STRETCH MARKS AND SCARS ON DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE BODY. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THE POSSIBLE REASONS TO GET A TREATMENT:
• TO REDUCE THE APPEARANCE OF A SCAR: AFTER THE SKIN HEALS A WOUND AND FORMS A SCAR, THE BODY ACTS AS THOUGH THE AREA HAS BEEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. MICRONEEDLING CAN PUNCTURE THE SCAR TISSUE AND STIMULATE THE SKIN TO REPLACE THE DAMAGED SKIN WITH NEW, UNSCARRED SKIN.
• TO REDUCE THE APPEARANCE OF STRETCH MARKS: LIKE SCARRING, THE BODY DOES NOT TREAT STRETCH MARKS AS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE HEALED. MICRONEEDLING OVER STRETCH MARKS CAN INITIATE HEALING AND PROMOTE THE GROWTH OF NEW SKIN.
• TO MINIMIZE FINE LINES AND WRINKLES: THE ELASTIN AND COLLAGEN INDUCTION, CAUSED BY WOUNDING THE SKIN WITH A DERMAPEN CAUSES SKIN TO TIGHTEN AND THICKEN, REDUCING THE APPEARANCE OF FINE LINES AND WRINKLES. MICRONEEDLING CAN, THEREFORE, BE CONSIDERED AN ANTI-AGING TREATMENT.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MICRONEEDLING? ASIDE FROM ITS ANTI-AGING AND SCAR REDUCING BENEFITS, MICRONEEDLING HAS MANY OTHER BENEFITS INCLUDING:
• MINIMIZING ENLARGED PORES
• TIGHTENING THE SKIN
• TREATING HAIR LOSS PROBLEMS SUCH AS ALOPECIA
• HELPS THE SKIN TO ABSORB PRODUCTS MORE EFFICIENTLY, ENSURING THE MOST BENEFITS CAN BE RECEIVED FROM SKIN CARE PRODUCTS
HOW TO PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE TREATMENT? DRINKING LOTS OF WATER AND TRYING TO EAT A HEALTHY DIET WITH PLENTY OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES IN THE WEEK BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT WILL HELP PREPARE YOUR SKIN FOR THE TREATMENT. MAINTAINING A GOOD SKIN CARE ROUTINE IS ALSO ADVISABLE AND IT IS RECOMMENDED YOU EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN 2-3 DAYS BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT.
Radiofrequency+microneedling or fractional radiofrequency is a non-invasive skin improving technique and a form of skin improvement. With RF+microneedling, we stimulate the skin at different depths with a combination of microneedling and radiofrequency waves. With this treatment, we damage the surface of the skin less than with regular microneedling.
Radiofrequency heat
The tips of the needles emit radiofrequency heat. This heat penetrates deep into the dermis and this causes the skin to contract somewhat, causing tightening. In addition, we “ask” the skin to become more active. The fibroblasts go to work producing more collagen and elastin. The fibroblasts also produce more hyaluronic acid. With the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, the skin becomes smoother, tighter and more hydrated. In addition, the color and condition of the skin is improved.
Difference from a regular microneedling treatment
With the common microneedling treatment, we improve the skin by creating “damage” on the surface of the skin, the epidermis. This damage activates the natural repair and wound healing process of the epidermis. With the RF+microneedling treatment, the needles work by stamping instead of scratching. As a result, there is very little damage to the epidermis and more damage in the dermis, where the stimulus is supposed to be.
What does RF+Microneedling do?
It focuses on:
• fine lines
• large pores loose skin
• acne scars
• stretch marks
• Rosacea

Stomach • Thighs • Buttocks • Hips • Male Chest • Back • Arms
HOW IT WORKS
After a single 10 or 20 minute Laser Lipo session, patients typically see instant fat reduction. Most patients describe the laser treatment as a warm feeling with no pain, bruising or down-time. Recommended number of sessions may vary based on body type, weight, and target fat-loss goals to achieve maximum results.
A double-blind clinical study followed Laser Lipo subjects vs. placebo subjects over the course of 8 treatments. The average loss of treated subjects recorded was 3.7 inches at the level of one single measurement (Caruso-Davis, Guillot, Yu, Bissoon, Green, 2007).
Laser Lipo is a laser lipolysis procedure in which paddles are placed against the skin, and a cold red laser beam is emitted through the skin and into the fatty layer underneath. After the laser hits the fatty tissue beneath the skin, it induces the creation of pores and the intracellular content is released and removed by the body’s own lymphatic system. Surrounding tissues such as blood vessels, nerves and skin cells are unaffected by the procedure. Lipolysis may change the appearance of your body, but diet and exercise will determine if your results are permanent. If you do see visible results from your lipolysis, they should be permanent — provided you don't gain any weight. If you do gain weight, the results from lipolysis will likely disappear.
Pre Treatment
Avoid:
Heavy meals in the 2-4 hours before and after each treatment as this may confuse the body about what fat to metabolize.
Fasting before treatment - body will go into starvation mode and the fat may become more resistant to laser treatment.
Coffee, tea, or carbonated beverages prior to a treatment as these may cause bloating. Good hydration provides a healthy lymphatic system.
Treatment around time of menstruation may impact measurements because of bloating.
Post treatment:
Consume ½ body weight in ounces of water daily.
This procedure involves applying pressure on fat cells through ultrasonic vibrations. The pressure is high enough to make the fat cells break down into a liquid form. The body can then get rid of it as waste through your urine.
The broken-down fat cells go from the body to the liver where they are excreted as waste. This method of treatment is used along with other weight loss programs to help with getting rid of excessive fat. It is a preferred method to other invasive procedures of eliminating body fat. It is important to note that your weight could return if you consume a high- calorie diet.
Which body parts are best for ultrasonic cavitation?
Ultrasonic cavitation works best on parts with localized fat. Such areas include the abdomen, flanks, thighs, hips, and upper arms. This procedure cannot be performed on body parts like the head, neck, and other bony areas of the body.Health Impacts of Ultrasonic Cavitation Ultrasonic cavitation reduces the body’s fat deposits that could be hard to get rid of by exercising alone. However, this procedure cannot be used for weight loss treatment on its own. Ultrasonic cavitation is best for reducing cellulite and adipose fat. This improves body shape and contour and reduces circumference.The following individuals should not undergo the procedure:
Pregnant and breastfeeding women Persons showing skinfold lower than 2 cm Infection or inflammation in the region where the procedure will be done Individuals with a history of malignancies People with a cardiac pacemaker or other metal implants Persons with coagulation disorders or taking medication that affects blood clotting Individuals with serious medical conditions like diabetes and osteoporosis

What are the benefits?
Skin tightening, collagen rejuvenation, cellulite and fat reduction. It also works especially well for volume loss.
Who’s it for? RF is suitable for all ages and complexions.
Where do you use it? RF can be applied on the face, as well as upper and lower abs, inner and outer thighs and upper arms.
And how often? Three to four times a week, depending on the program outlined by your device of choice.
Does it work? Yes! Studies have shown results can last for up to two years.
Are there any side effects? RF does not have many side effects, though occasionally, women have reported mild redness or swelling in the treated area.
Any safety precautions? Be careful with the temperature setting. If it’s too hot, you could experience blistering and bruising. It is not suitable for people with rosacea, broken blood vessels or capillaries. As with most aesthetic treatments, we don't recommend it for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
What about post-treatment instructions? It’s best to avoid sunlight, tanning, hot baths or showers, waxing, threading – or anything that can heat or aggravate recently treated skin, which has already been exposed to high heat and needs time to recover.
A vacuum is created around the area, lifting the cellulite away from the muscle, thus encouraging blood flow, stimulating lymphatic drainage and amplifying the effects of massage or exercise. Vacuum RF therapy is a similar, but modern version of the ancient Chinese art of "cupping" that is now a popular alternative treatment.
Vacuum RF therapy is a non-invasive scientifically researched treatment, certified by the FDA. It offers an effective solution to fight cellulite in all stages, reduces localized fat and reshapes the body.
How does Vacuum RF Therapy work?
The Vacuum RF therapy system uses suction and pressure to release the fluids in the fat cells that cause cellulite. Along with Radio Frequency energies to create superficial and deep heating of connective tissue fibers, dermal collagen fibers and fat cells. These energies soften the connective tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen for improved skin elasticity and resilience. By creating cellular turnover, the skin appears tighter and more youthful. The results include a localized reduction in skin laxity, increased dermal volume and improved skin texture and structure.
It is frequently recommended for:
Reducing excess fat deposit in hips, thighs and buttocks
Improved blood circulation
Relaxing muscle tension
Increased lymph circulation and elimination of toxins
Improved skin tightness, firmness and elasticity
Prevention of cellulite by inhibiting fat storage
What areas of the body can be targeted?
Vacuum RF Therapy can be done over the entire body. Although the most common areas are legs, buttocks, abdomen, and upper arms.
Who is the treatment suitable for?
The treatment can be carried out on adult men and women.
