Non-invasive 6-8 session course Consultation-led

RF Cavitation combines radiofrequency energy with ultrasonic cavitation to target stubborn fat and tighten skin, without surgery or downtime. The radiofrequency heats the tissue and encourages skin tightening, while the cavitation breaks down fat cell membranes, letting your body naturally process and eliminate the released fat over the following weeks.


For some areas or goals, we'll also recommend combining this with PPC (fat-dissolving) injections for a more targeted result, that's why pricing is built around your consultation rather than a flat rate.

What It Treats

Common concerns we treat

How It Works

Two energies, one goal

Radiofrequency heats the deeper layers of tissue, encouraging collagen production and tighter-looking skin. Ultrasonic cavitation works alongside it, breaking down fat cell membranes so their contents can be naturally processed by your lymphatic system.


Results build gradually across a course, this isn't a one-session fix, it's a steady, cumulative change.

Is It Right For You?

A proper conversation

RF Cavitation works best for people at or near a stable weight who are dealing with specific stubborn areas, rather than as a weight-loss treatment on its own. It isn't suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and a few medical conditions mean it's not the right fit, we'll go through all of that, and whether PPC is worth adding, properly at your consultation.

FAQ
