Treatment of cellulite by RF

RF (Radiofrequency) waves enhances collagen production and affects adipocytes. As a result, it tightens the skin and reduces cellulite.
Radio-frequency waves can penetrate deep into the skin and affect the upper and lower layers of the skin. This will stretch and improve the underlying structural tissues of the skin.
The heat of Radio-frequency waves stimulate the production of collagen in the skin layers and effectively decrease the cellulite and lipids by tightening the skin tissue.
The waves can break the fat cell membrane and then the broken fat exit from the treated area through the liver and urine.
