What is Body Radiofrequency Plus?
Body Radiofrequency Plus is an innovative controlled skin heating technology offering an effective non-invasive solution for body remodeling.
Controlled heating of the deeper skin layers stimulates collagen and elastin production, promoting skin firmness, reducing laxity, and improving body contour. Additionally, the treatment enhances blood and lymphatic circulation, contributing to skin rejuvenation.
What is it used for?
1. Reduction of Skin Laxity
Body radiofrequency is a significant advancement in combating skin laxity. This treatment uses radiofrequency waves to heat the deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The result is firmer, more toned skin, reducing the appearance of laxity, especially in areas prone to sagging like arms, abdomen, and thighs. It’s an effective solution to restore skin elasticity without the need for invasive procedures.
2. Skin Rejuvenation
Skin rejuvenation is one of the most sought-after benefits of body radiofrequency.
The treatment helps revitalize aging skin by promoting cell renewal and improving collagen production. This results in smoother, more youthful-looking skin, with visible reduction of wrinkles and fine lines in the body area.
3. Improvement of Body Contour
Body radiofrequency is exceptional in enhancing body contour. The treatment can reshape and redefine body curves, helping to reduce some localized fat and improving the overall silhouette. This technique is particularly effective in areas like the abdomen, flanks, and thighs, where it’s challenging to eliminate fat through diet and exercise alone. It’s a safe and non-invasive alternative to liposuction, offering a way to achieve a slimmer and more defined body contour. However, depending on the amount of fat, CoolSculpting, the number one treatment for localized fat reduction, may also be recommended.
4. Reduction of Cellulite
Body radiofrequency is also effective in reducing cellulite. Heating the skin layers improves blood and lymphatic circulation and breaks down the fibrous bands that cause the “orange peel” appearance of cellulite. With regular treatments, the skin texture in the treated area significantly improves, making the skin smoother and reducing the visibility of cellulite.
5. Improvement of Skin Texture and Appearance
Body radiofrequency offers significant improvement in skin texture and appearance. The treatment helps smooth the skin and reduce its irregularities.
How does it work?
This increasingly sought-after aesthetic treatment uses radiofrequency waves to heat the deeper skin layers, stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity.
This platform features an advanced system for controlling and monitoring skin temperature, allowing optimal values for remodeling while protecting the patient from undesirable temperatures.

What are the contraindications of body radiofrequency?
While Body Radiofrequency Plus is a safe and non-invasive procedure, it has some important contraindications. It’s essential to evaluate them before starting treatment to avoid health risks.
-
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Not recommended during pregnancy. During breastfeeding, use should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
-
Individuals with implanted electronic devices: People with pacemakers, defibrillators, or neurostimulators should not undergo the treatment.

Severe heart diseases: Especially in decompensated cases or with high risk.
-
Metallic prostheses or conductive materials in the treated area: Such as screws, plates, or metal wires. The generated heat can cause discomfort or complications.

Skin sensitivity alterations: People with neuropathies or other conditions affecting sensitivity may not feel the heat correctly, increasing the risk of burns.
-
Recent use of medications like isotretinoin (Roaccutane): One should wait at least 6 months after finishing treatment with this type of drug before undergoing radiofrequency.
Before starting any radiofrequency treatment, a consultation with one of Living Clinic’s specialists is essential.
Is Radiofrequency Plus indicated for reducing localized fat?
Body Radiofrequency Plus can help reduce localized fat, but it’s not the primary treatment for this goal. Its main effect is collagen stimulation, which improves skin firmness and reduces laxity and cellulite. However, it can also indirectly contribute to improving body contour.
For localized fat, the best treatment is generally CoolSculpting.
