A course of 6-10 sessions, once a fortnight (or could be weekly, or monthly depending on budget) will help tighten the skin on the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, or bingo wings. Some people require more than 10 sessions. There is no guarantee, as results vary with individuals. Radio Frequency is powerful; therefore, only one area can be worked on at a time in a 30-minute session. ​

The radio frequency alternates at high and low-frequency energy deep into the dermis and subcutaneous tissue. The circulation is improved and collagen contracts in the dermal layer of the skin, it becomes thickened and strengthened, stimulating collagen production and elastin remodelling, the skin becomes firmer and the contours are lifted. The existing collagen under the skin is transformed, encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin. RF current causes shrinkage of the long, loose collagen strands in lax skin. Collagen fibres can shrink up to a third in length. Denaturing the collagen also leads to a longer-term production of new strong, straight collagen fibres. This action helps to tighten lax skin. It is important to note that collagen reproduction can take up to can to 4 months to fully complete, this re-aligns and regenerates collagen in your skin to replace ageing, sagging skin with fresher, firmer skin (a form of Collagen induction therapy). ​ Radiofrequency long wavelengths penetrate the skin, passing through it deep into the fat layer, gradually heating the tissue. Fat cells start to melt and metabolise at 40 degrees Celsius (lipolysis), Celsius, as they heat up more quickly than other skin tissue; as a result, the fat cells are disrupted. This can lead to a movement of fat across the fat cell membranes into the surrounding tissue fluid, resulting in a subtle reduction of fat in the area. It is important to realise that this fat is not being removed from the body – it will be transported to the liver for metabolism. To achieve the best results, clients need to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

You may experience mild heat, mild swelling and/or slight redness in the treated area. This is a normal reaction after RF treatments; the skin will settle very quickly. To ease any mild swelling, you may apply an icepack to the treatment area. To relieve the redness of your skin, you can apply soothing gels or creams (Aloe Vera or Vitamin E are recommended). Avoid excessive heat (hot baths, direct sun) for at least 48 hours after your treatment. You should drink at least 2 litres of water a day, for 3 days, to help flush out the metabolised fat cells. Avoid saturated fatty foods for 72hrs Do not drink alcohol 72 hours after. Avoid caffeine for 72 hours. If you are safe to do so, you should exercise for 20 minutes following each treatment to encourage circulation and removal of dispersed fat cells.

Yes! If you would like to improve scars or very lax/sagging skin, the addition of microneedling treatments can give you dramatically better results. The combination of the two therapies helps further stimulate collagen production, giving your skin a healthier, firmer, rejuvenated appearance. RF plus microneedling is better because the microneedling part of the procedure creates numerous minuscule pinpricks in the skin. These pinpricks serve as microscopic channels for the flow of radiofrequency energy, which is applied subsequently. As a result, not only are the skin’s natural healing responses evoked, but collagen production is stimulated to give you smoother, tighter, younger-looking skin. You will require multiple treatment sessions for optimum results, treatments are spaced out 4 weeks apart.

Yes, having a course of 3-4 Polynucleotides (PN) whilst having RF will improve your results. But you cannot have it done during the same session. You must wait for 1 week until you can have PN, and then once you have had PN, you must wait 2 weeks before having RF again, for example: PN1 - wait 2 weeks - RF - wait 1 week - PN2 - wait 2 weeks - RF - wait 1 week - PN3 - wait 2 weeks - RF We recommend Plenhyage XL Strong Polynucleotides, as its the strongest on the market and ideal for skin repair and rejuvenation on the body, you can read about here.(https://www.westfieldclinic.co.uk/polynucleotides)

RF is not a substitute for a healthy lifestyle and taking care of your body. Fat is not being removed from the body – it will be transported to the liver for metabolism. To achieve the best results, you need to follow the post-treatment advise. It is important to have 'realistic expectations' when opting for non-surgical treatments. ​ A medical history will be taken to check suitability before treatment can begin. This treatment is not suitable for patients with: Pacemaker or bio-medical implants, Auto-immune diseases, Pregnancy, Bleeding abnormalities, or on Blood thinning medication. A doctor's note is required for conditions including, Thyroid, Heart, Liver, Kidney disease, Diabetes, and High blood pressure.
