Treatments explained
9 guidesFat freezing, RF and cavitation: what’s the difference?
Fat freezing cools fat. RF heats tissue. Ultrasound uses sound waves. Muscle stimulation makes muscles contract. Here is what those names actually mean.
READ GUIDEDoes fat freezing work? What it can and cannot change.
Cryolipolysis is intended to reduce a local fat bulge; results depend on the device and individual. It is not a weight-loss treatment.
READ GUIDEFat-freezing side effects: temporary effects and complications.
Pain, bruising and swelling are different from a burn or an enlarging fat bulge. Read the distinction before booking.
READ GUIDEFat freezing explained: what happens to a local fat bulge?
Cryolipolysis cools fat beneath the skin through an applicator. Changes develop gradually as the body clears damaged fat cells.
READ GUIDERF explained: heating tissue for skin tightening or contouring.
Radiofrequency uses electromagnetic energy to heat tissue. The device determines whether the procedure targets skin, fat or both.
READ GUIDEUltrasonic cavitation explained: sound energy and the fat-reduction claim.
Ultrasound uses sound above human hearing. Cavitation means tiny bubbles forming and collapsing in fluid. The name alone gives you very little about the machine.
READ GUIDEEMS explained: electrical pulses make muscles contract.
Electrical muscle stimulation sends current through electrodes to stimulate muscle contractions. Strength, waist size and fat loss are separate outcomes.
READ GUIDEMagnetic muscle stimulation explained: contractions induced by a magnetic field.
A changing magnetic field induces electrical currents that trigger muscle contractions. Device names and combined technologies matter when reading the evidence.
READ GUIDESlimming massage and body wraps: what are you paying for?
Massage applies pressure to soft tissue. A body wrap covers an area, sometimes with products. A service name needs a clear description of the actual treatment.
