WHAT IS AQUALIPO ® RF NON SURGICAL?

AQUALIPO ® RF is an exciting, new non-surgical treatment that uses sophisticated radio frequency technology to tighten, tone and sculpt the body while eliminating unwanted fat.  Unlike liposuction , AQUALIPO ® RF also treats deep layers of unhealthy visceral fat that surrounds the internal organs, fat that has been linked to a myriad of health problems, including heart disease, stroke and Type II diabetes.  With AQUALIPO ® RF non-surgical body contouring, you’ll achieve outstanding results with no surgery, no side effects, no injections, no dieting, no strenuous exercise, and no downtime. 

How does AQUALIPO ® RF work?

AQUALIPO ® RF delivers advanced radio frequency energy to provide deep, controlled heating, which causes fat cells to disrupt without damaging surrounding tissue.  Unlike other liposuction techniques, non-surgical AQUALIPO ® RF safely and effectively reduces both subcutaneous fat, as well as visceral fat deep within the body.  Once the fat is dissolved, there’s no need to suction it from the body.  The fat will be absorbed by the lymphatic system and then naturally eliminated through the body’s own biological process.  To aid in this natural elimination, patients should participate in mild exercise and stay well hydrated to help flush the fat from the body.  There are no side effects from the procedure, and absolutely no downtime! 

What can AQUALIPO ® RF treat?

AQUALIPO ® RF non-surgical body contouring can help treat trouble areas of unwanted fat on the face and body, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, back, arms, cheeks, jowls, breast, chest and waist.  AQUALIPO ® RF can treat both surface fat and visceral fat deep within the body. 

Why is it important to lose visceral fat?

The human body stores two types of fat:  subcutaneous fat, the visible fat layer that lies just beneath the skin’s surface, and visceral fat, a more dangerous type of fat that is buried deep within the body and surrounds your vital organs.  Studies have shown that visceral fat makes people more susceptible to developing Type II diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and even certain cancers.  For many people, even conscientious dieting and exercise may not be enough to reduce visceral fat.  Fortunately, AQUALIPO ® RF can help remove unhealthy visceral fat safely and easily.  When you reduce visceral fat with AQUALIPO ® RF, you’ll not only achieve a tighter, more sculpted body, you may also gain significant health benefits.  Losing visceral fat can reduce your body’s resistance to insulin, helping to prevent or control Type II diabetes.  Additionally, visceral fat loss can make it easier to control blood pressure, while decreasing your risk for heart disease and stroke. 

Does AQUALIPO ® RF hurt?

Not at all!  AQUALIPO ® RF is like a comfortable therapeutic massage.  Many people feel little or no sensation during the AQUALIPO ® RF procedure, while others feel a slight tingling or warm feeling. There’s no anesthesia or pain medication required, and you can return to your normal activities immediately following the procedure. 

What kind of results can I expect with AQUALIPO ® RF?

With AQUALIPO ® RF non-surgical body contouring, you can expect outstanding results. Although results will vary depending on individual patient characteristics as well as which body areas are treated, on average, most patients can lose up to 10 inches and 14 pounds in just six weeks. 

How many AQUALIPO ® RF treatments will I need?

The number of treatments will vary depending on how much fat you need to lose and which body areas will be treated.  Clinical studies show that the total amount of fat removed per eight treatments is approximately 2,000 CC or 10 lbs.  Each treatment lasts about 45 minutes, and you’ll need a minimum of 72 hours between treatments.  You and your AQUALIPO ® RF physician will discuss the optimal number of treatments to help you achieve the results you desire.

Can the fat return after AQUALIPO ® RF?

As with any fat removal treatment, there’s no guarantee that fat loss will be permanent.  If you consume more calories than you burn, you will gain weight.  The difference is in where the weight will be distributed.  With conventional liposuction, fat cells are destroyed in the treated areas, so any weight you gain will be spread around other areas of your body, which can sometimes lead to a disproportionate body shape.  With AQUALIPO ® RF, fat cell volume is reduced, so if you gain weight back, it will be naturally distributed in both treated and untreated areas.  No matter what type of fat removal treatment you have, you should maintain healthy eating and exercise habits for the best long-term results. 

Can I combine AQUALIPO ® surgical and AQUALIPO ® RF?

Yes.  Often, combining the two technologies will help you achieve even better results.  You and your AQUALIPO ® physician will discuss the best way to achieve the results you desire.
