Radio frequency delivers a safe electrical current to the treated area via the electrodes. The RF heats the area and deeply penetrates the skin. Our brain interprets the RF as a source of energy and the skin reacts like a resistor. By heating the cells within a safe range, this causes the skin to tighten, making it smoother and reducing cellulite.
As we get older, the integrity of our elastin and collagen proteins decrease, causing our skin to wrinkle and become loose, as well making it more susceptible to cellulite. It is the heat from the radio frequency procedure that stimulates the collagen, causing it to contract and tighten, while disrupting stubborn fat cells.
