Radio frequency (RF) has been used for over 60 years in the healthcare industry. It represents a major advancement in cosmetic surgery. RF is able to protect the epidermis while only working on the deep dermis and subdermal layer of the skin.

RF technology causes uniform volumetric heating, deep into the skin tissue. This process results in the tightening of collagen fibers which are responsible for maintaining the skin anatomy, thus smoothing out lumps and cellulite dimples in equal measure.

In essence, RF improves skin tone and texture while effectively smoothing, tightening and contouring skin for an overall naturally younger appearance. Patients benefit from one to several treatments with little to no downtime.

Results vary from subtle to dramatic and generally improve over time. RF is also a perfect complement to traditional and laser liposuction (read hereunder), providing an excellent tightening and textural benefit that is beyond the reach of the surgeon's scalpel.

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS TYPE OF NON-INVASIVE TREATMENT?

People who have moderately sagging skin are the best candidates for this type of treatment. The treatment is most suitable for the buttocks and central to lower abdominal areas, including stretch marks. The treatment also works well on the neck, upper arm and facial areas such as the brow, cheeks and jowls.

Liposuction is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical body treatments performed today. The laser assisted lipolysis system offers a revolutionary and minimally invasive procedure for the removal of fat, using a high powered laser procedure which ensures a shorter recovery time and far less side effects than traditional liposuction.

How Laser Fat removal Works

Laser fat removal uses a carefully calibrated laser to liquefy fat deposits through the top layers of the patient’s skin. The laser actually ruptures fat cells, and the resulting oily liquid substance is then removed through a tiny incision in the skin by the surgeon.

The small laser can also seal blood vessels as it zaps fat, so there is less swelling, bleeding and bruising than with traditional liposuction.

Research has shown that little, if any fat is reabsorbed back into the body. The minimal invasiveness of the procedure allows patients to see faster results and to experience fewer complications.

In additional patients need only a local anesthetic for this procedure, whereas liposuction usually requires general anesthesia.

Representing the next generation of body shaping technology after Endermologie®, Icoone® is a connective tissue manipulation machine developed by skin guru Prof. Jean-Claude Guimberteau's extraordinary intuition on connective tissue structure. A specialist in reconstructive surgery, Prof. J.C. Guimberteau has demonstrated that skin tissue is composed of three dimensional fractal structures called microvacuoles.

Icoone® manipulates these microvacuoles through its mechanized Roboderm arms to tone and sculpt the body.   Different treatment programmes for all the problem areas of the body allow for maximum personalization for men and women alike.

Icoone® treatment benefits are appreciable even after the first few minutes of treatment. Its deep pleasant sensation is a result of the treatment being carried out with two heads at the same time which gives a manual massage effect.

Mesotherapy is the administration of minute doses of specially formulated and naturally occurring medications, which are administered into the skin between the dermis and subcutaneous layers of skin known as the mesoderm of the problem area.

These solutions have two main effects – solubilising the fat layer in skin, and increasing the circulation to the target area to enable the removal of the fatty deposits. Mesotherapy gives good to excellent results for Love handles, stomach, saddle bags, bra bulge, inner thigh bulges, outer thighs, buttocks, abdomen, knee pads, double chin and eye fat pads.

Generally, most healthy adults may have Mesotherapy for body sculpting and cellulite treatment.

The Dermosonic Treatment is a combination of Ultrasound & Non Invasive Subdermal Therapies focusing directly on the fatty layer of the skin. Ultrasound provides a deep tissue micro massage, and heat stimulates collagen & elastin production, increases lymph drainage, blood flow, and metabolism.

The ultrasonic wave helps to increases circulation to improve tissue texture, reduce cellulite nodules and reduce liquid retention under the skin. Ultrasound is followed by a mechanical massage known as NIST (non-invasive subdermal therapy), aiding drainage of the fatty layer of the skin.
