Vacuum RF Therapy

vacuum RF Therapy for cellulite reduction

Vacuum RF Therapy is one of a number of therapies used to tackle the hard-to-shift, dimpled fat that is often found on thighs, knees, buttocks, stomach and the tops of arms.

A vacuum is created around the area, lifting the cellulite away from the muscle, thus encouraging blood flow, stimulating lymphatic drainage and amplifying the effects of massage or exercise. Vacuum RF therapy is similar, but a modern version of the ancient Chinese art of “cupping” that is now a popular alternative treatment.

Vacuum RF therapy is a non-invasive scientifically researched treatment, certified by the FDA. It offers an effective solution to fight cellulite in all stages,

How does Vacuum RF Therapy work?

The Vacuum RF therapy system uses suction and pressure to release the fluids in the fat cells that cause cellulite. Along with Radio Frequency energies to create superficial and deep heating of connective tissue fibers, dermal collagen fibers, and fat cells. These energies soften the connective tissue and stimulate the production of new collagen for improved skin elasticity and resilience. By creating a cellular turnover, the skin appears tighter and more youthful. The results include a localized reduction in skin laxity, increased dermal volume and improved skin texture and structure.

It is frequently recommended for:

Reducing excess fat deposit in hips, thighs, and buttocks

Relaxing muscle tension

Increased lymph circulation and elimination of toxins

Improved skin tightness, firmness, and elasticity

Prevention of cellulite by inhibiting fat storage

Before & Aftercare Advice for Best Results

Drink at least 2 liters of water before your treatment and another 2 liters per day following your treatment (soft drink, soda, juice or tea is not water).

Refrain from ANY alcohol consumption for 2 – 3 days following your treatments. Alcohol can prevent your liver from working to remove fats as it will make alcohol metabolism its priority before fat removal and could hinder your results.

Refrain from caffeine for 3-4 days prior to your treatment and for 48 hours after treatment.

Avoid eating 2 hours prior and 1 hour after your treatment.

Refrain from aspirin, ibuprofen or other anti-inflammatory products for 2 days prior and after your treatment.

Use dry skin brushing daily to stimulate lymph movement (your therapist will show you how to do this).

Do not have a hot shower (warm is alright), spa or sauna straight after treatment.

Diet: Follow a low carb, low starch, low sugar diet for best results.

Exercise: Do the brisk exercise for at least 20 minutes after your treatment to stimulate lymph movement.
