Maintenance treatments are required at 4-6 weekly intervals.
Skin tightening Theory:
The hand piece delivers the RF energy into the deeper dermis, increasing this tissue to a constant 40-42 degrees causes trauma to existing aged and brittle collagen. Fibroblasts are then triggered (fibroblast are the connective tissue cells that produce collagen and elastin). In turn, this increases the synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibres.
Felt Melting Theory:
When subcutaneous fat reaches 40-41 degrees it will start to melt (like butter in a hot pan) the fat cells reduce in size and become flatter. Subsequent treatments will reach deeper into the tissue and have same effect to those cells. This effect will give a smoothing on the skins surface, reducing the appearance of cellutlite.
