Radiofrequency lipolysis
What is radiofrequency lipolysis?
Radiofrequency lipolysis is a method for the targeted reduction of fat deposits and at the same time for tightening the skin. It combines the use of radiofrequency energy and heat to destroy fat cells and stimulate collagen formation in the treated areas. This innovative technique is particularly suitable for the treatment of small to medium fat deposits that are difficult to reduce through diet or exercise. It is often combined with liposuction to achieve an optimal result by combining the reduction of fat deposits and skin tightening.
How does radiofrequency lipolysis work?
1. Heating of the fat cells:
The radiofrequency energy penetrates the skin and creates a targeted heating of the fat cells to temperatures of around 68 °C. This heat damages the fat cells, causing them to be broken down and excreted by the body’s lymphatic system.
2. Skin tightening through collagen formation:
In addition to reducing fat cells, the heat stimulates collagen production in the skin. This leads to improved elasticity and firmness of the skin.
3. Promotion of microcirculation:
The heating improves blood circulation and metabolism in the treated tissue, which supports the removal of waste products.

Treatment process
Treatment process
1. Consultation: The treating doctor explains the method, possible results and contraindications.
2. Treatment: A radiofrequency probe is gently guided over the skin, if necessary as part of liposuction under local anesthesia or general anesthesia. The session lasts 30-60 minutes depending on the treatment area.
3. After the treatment: No special measures are necessary. Slight redness or a feeling of warmth is normal and will quickly subside.

Results and aftercare
Results and aftercare
The results of radiofrequency lipolysis become apparent gradually over several weeks, as the body needs time to break down the destroyed fat cells.
Conclusion
Radiofrequency lipolysis is a safe, painless and effective method for reducing fat deposits and simultaneously tightening the skin. It offers an ideal solution for anyone who wants targeted body contouring. It can be combined very well with liposuction.
