Radiofrequency is an excellent aesthetic treatment to do in the belly and buttocks because it helps to eliminate the localized fat and still fights sagging, leaving the skin firmer and harder. Each session lasts about 1 hour and the results are progressive, and after the last session the results can still be perceived for 6 months.
This treatment is especially suitable for people who are very close to their ideal weight, to improve the body contour with only localized fat, as an alternative to plastic surgery or can be made to improve the effects after having performed a tummy tuck, for example.
How Radiofrequency Works
Radiofrequency equipment is safe and can be performed on all persons over 12 years of age. The equipment waves reach the fat cells, located underneath the skin and over the muscles, and with the elevation of the temperature of that region to 42 ° C these cells rupture, eliminating the fat that contained inside. The fat stays in the interstitial space, between the other cells and so that they are actually eliminated from the body definitely, should be removed through lymphatic drainage or through physical exercises.
The fat can stay in the interstitial space for up to 4 hours and so, after each treatment session, the person should perform a lymphatic drainage treatment at the place that has been treated or should perform some physical activity that is able to burn all the fat surplus.
Definitive result, without sagging
Eliminating fat gives stable, long-lasting results and as long as the person makes a healthy diet and practices physical activity regularly, he will not regrow. However, if you consume more energy than your body spends, it is natural for you to gain weight and for fat to build up in certain regions of the body.
In addition to providing the elimination of accumulated fat radiofrequency improves skin tone because it increases the production of collagen and elastin fibers that support the skin. Thus, the person eliminates the fat and the skin remains firm, there being no flaccidity.
Understand how radiofrequency works
The elevation of the temperature produced by the radiofrequency generates waves of energy that induce the rupture of the adipocytes, due to the breakdown of the proteins of the cellular membrane. However, this effect depends on the good hydration of the region, time of exposure to radiofrequency and number of sessions performed.
In addition, elevation in temperature promotes retraction of existing collagen, migration of fibroblasts, and formation of new collagen and elastin, which enhance tissue structure, improving skin firmness, reducing cellulite and flaccidity, lasting.
Treatment Risks
Radiofrequency in the belly and buttocks is very well tolerated and the only risk is that of being able to burn the skin when the equipment is not kept moving at all treatment times.
How many sessions to do
It is recommended to do about 10 sessions to evaluate the results, depending on the amount of fat or cellulite that needs to be eliminated or the amount of flaccid skin that the person has. Better results are observed when performing a combination of radiofrequency and lipocavitation in the same cosmetic treatment.
The lipocavitation is excellent to eliminate localized fat, being even more efficient to reduce measurements but it does not have any effect on the collagen and therefore, can even promote sagging, since the radiofrequency is an excellent esthetic treatment against flaccidity, so to unite the two treatments is a great way to achieve better results and even faster. When doing these two combined treatments, the ideal is to do 1 session of radiofrequency in a week, and the following week to do the lipocavitation, the equipment being intercalated.
When not to do

- During gestation;
- In case of hemophilia;
- In case of fever;
- If there is any infection at the treatment site;

- If the person has a pacemaker;
- When the person takes some anticoagulant medicine.
