Fat Reduction and Skin Tightening with Radiofrequency and Ultrasound

Fat Reduction and Skin Tightening with Radiofrequency and Ultrasound


Today, patients are increasingly seeking a perfect appearance: firm, wrinkle-free skin, no unwanted fat deposits, and thighs free of cellulite have become the ideal. One of the most significant developments in aesthetic dermatology is the trend towards non-invasive treatment methods.


The desire to optimise body and face without downtime or risks is at the heart of this approach. In our practice, we use BTL EXILIS ELITE™ – a device that targets the skin precisely using radiofrequency and ultrasound, tightening the face, neck, and décolletage, or gently dissolving fat deposits.


The device also demonstrates impressive results against cellulite. In BTL EXILIS ELITE™ cellulite treatments, the X-Wave™ system is used in combination to support the elimination of fat cells through shockwave therapy.

Who is a suitable candidate for radiofrequency treatment?


Fat Reduction and Skin Tightening on the Hips – Radiofrequency Treatment


In principle, all areas of the body can be treated, regardless of the patient's gender or age. Radiofrequency-ultrasound treatment gives both women and men the opportunity to melt away stubborn pockets of fat on the abdomen, hips, or thighs – reducing the circumference of these areas by several centimetres.


Excellent results are also achieved in reducing
gynaecomastia (male breast enlargement)

or sagging upper arms (
"bingo wings"

). Those affected by cellulite can also benefit from this innovative radiofrequency-ultrasound treatment – all without surgery, painful side effects, or weeks of downtime.


If you wish to rejuvenate and refresh the skin on your face, neck, or décolletage without undergoing surgery, the radiofrequency-ultrasound method offers a gentle, cost-effective, and virtually pain-free alternative. The treatment can also effectively tighten the skin of the décolletage and face, while reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

What should I be aware of before the radiofrequency-ultrasound treatment?

Depending on whether fat reduction, skin tightening, or a combination of both is desired, treatment duration varies between 15 and 60 minutes. After the treatment, you can return to work or your daily routine immediately – making a lunchtime appointment perfectly realistic.


The recommended number of treatments for body contouring is between 4 and 6 sessions, with intervals of typically 10 to 14 days between each session. Patients report visible improvements as early as after the second treatment session. The recommended number of treatments for lax skin is between 2 and 4 sessions.


Depending on skin condition, an extended course of treatment may be necessary. Initial improvements in skin texture and elasticity can appear after as few as two sessions.

What should I bear in mind after the radiofrequency treatment?


After a treatment, it is particularly important to ensure adequate fluid intake. This promotes the elimination of the fat cells that were broken down through the application of heat. In addition, the results of radiofrequency treatment can be enhanced by a low-fat diet and light physical activity.

Skin Tightening and Fat Reduction without Surgery using Radiofrequency-Ultrasound Therapy


During the treatment – which can also be carried out as a so-called "lunch-break treatment" – the handpiece is guided over the treatment area in circular movements. The targeted warming of the tissue gradually initiates the breakdown of fat cells and the remodelling of collagen fibres.


Patients may sleep, read, or relax during the treatment. The warming of the skin surface is comparable to a hot stone massage. Immediately after the session, patients can return to their normal daily routine, although strenuous exercise and visits to the sauna should be avoided directly after treatment.


Any mild redness of the skin immediately after treatment typically subsides within a few minutes. The skin surface, surrounding tissue, and nerves are not harmed.
