RadioFrequency Fat Reduction

RadioFrequency Tissue Tightening

RadioFrequency technology is FDA cleared to reduce fat.  This technology also results in tightened tissue.  It destroys fat through the delivery of energy to the fat areas of the upper back by driving controlled heat into the fat cells and subsequently destroying some fat cells and shrinking others. RadioFrequency technology also has the ability to target energy to collagen cells resulting in skin tissue tightening.  The treatment reduces fat deposits in the hips, thighs and/or buttocks while also tightening the skin in these treated areas resulting in slimmer, more attractive curves.
