Who can be treated with Radio Frequency?
Due to the non-invasive nature of our Radio Frequency based treatments, they are suitable for both men and women that wish to look their best and do not wish to endure the costs and risks of cosmetic surgery. However, there are a small number of clinical conditions that would prevent treatment, please check the "Can I be Treated" tab on this page for more details. If you have any specific questions or requirements, please contact us for more information.
I have lost weight and been left with loose skin. Will radio frequency treatments work for me?
Absolutely! Radio Frequency treatments such as the Body Sculpting and Skin Tightening Treatment, or non-srigcal facelift, are extremely effective at rejuvenating loose skin after significant weight loss. In severe cases, more than one course may be required to achieve the desired results, but this is something we can discuss with you during the free consultation.
Do Radio Frequency treatments hurt?
Most patients find the Radio Frequency treatments extremely comfortable and liken them to a warm deep tissue massage. The treatments are customised to accommodate your sensitivity and comfort level, which will be closely monitored by the technician throughout the treatment. It is normal to experience a warm sensation for a few hours post treatment. Your skin may also appear redder than usual for several hours, but this subsides very quickly.
How do I improve and maintain the results of my treatments?
After completing your course, it is recommended to periodically have maintenance treatments. Like any non-surgical or surgical aesthetic techniques, the results will last longer if you follow a balanced diet and exercise regularly, as this provides a stronger platform to maintain your new, healthier complexion.
How quickly will I notice a change following body sculpting treatment?
Gradual improvement of the treated area can be seen following the first treatment - with the skin surface of the treated area feeling smoother, more supple and tightened. With a course of treatments, these results will be cumulative. Once the course is completed, final results in circumference reduction, skin rejuvenation and tightening will be most apparent after 6-8 weeks.
Which areas can be treated with radio frequency?

Is the 4D-Sculpt similar to Velashape?
The 4D-Sculpt treatments leverage a similar combination of therapeutic energies as Velashape. However, we believe the unique treatment protocols and specific configuration of each of the therapies applied within our Body Sculpting and Skin Tightening treatments delivers the best results possible.
What happens when I come for a Radio Frequency treatment?
Your Radion Frequency Skin Tightening Treatment (including Body Sculpting, Non-surgical facelift, and others) experience will begin with a FREE consultation. During this we will discuss the areas of your body you would like to improve, the likely length of treatment required and how those areas will be targeted by the treatments. Following the consultation and the completion of a medical questionnaire, the targeted area will then be accurately measured and photographs taken to enable us to monitor your progress. The treatments will then commence as follows :-
Gentle oils or cooling gel (dependent upon area being treated) will be applied to the treatment area. This is to ensure optimal transmission of the therapeutic energies into the dermal tissues.
The appropriate treatment is then configured and the treatment head applied to the treatment area.
The machine is then switched on and the treatment head is moved across the targeted area(s) several times to ensure complete coverage.
After treatment the skin will be cleaned of all oils and gel, leaving the skin feeling smoother, more supple and rejuvenated.
Can I be treated with Radio Frequency (RF)?
If you are a healthy adult, over the age of 18 and capable of performing a little regular exercise, to burn off the “fuel” released by the treatments, the answer is usually a resounding “YES”!!!
However, there are some medical conditions (referred to as "Contra-indications") that mean we CANNOT treat you. This is in the best interest of your health and to ensure there are no complications with your condition, so please don’t be offended if we are unable to treat you as a result of one of these conditions being present :-
- Pacemaker or internal defibrillator.
- Superficial metal or other implants in the treatment area, such as crowns and bridges.
- Current or history of skin cancer, as well as any other type of cancer, or pre malignant moles.
- Severe concurrent conditions, such as cardiac disorders.
- Pregnancy and nursing.
- Impaired immune system, such as AIDS and HIV, or use of immuno-suppressive medications.
- Diseases which may be stimulated by light at the wavelengths used, such as history of Systemic Lupus, Erythematosus, Porphyria and Epilepsy.
- Patients with a history of diseases stimulated by heat, such as recurrent Herpes Simplex in the treatment area, may be treated only following a prophylactic regime.
- Poorly controlled endocrine disorders, such as diabetes or Poly Cystic Ovary.
- Any active condition in the treatment area, such as sores, psoriasis, eczema or undiagnosed rashes.
- Facial laser resurfacing and deep chemical peeling within the last 3 months, if face is treated.
- Any surgical procedure in the treatment area within the last 3 months or before complete healing.
A number of medical conditions and diseases can be contraindicated for the treatment. They must be checked with your doctor. For some contraindicated conditions and medications and/or supplements we may need a certificate from your doctor regarding suitability of the treatment in order to perform the treatments.
If you are in any doubt and the answers to your questions are not contained within this site, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to discuss the treatments with you in more detail.
