What is Radiofrequency for Body Contouring ?

Radiofrequency is an aesthetic treatment that utilizes high-frequency electromagnetic waves. The energy delivered generates heat targeting subcutaneous layers, triggering fibroblast activation, contraction and tightening of existing elastin and collagen fibers, and the production of new fibers—a process called neocollagenesis.

This deep stimulation boosts collagen and elastin production, essential for skin structure and hydration. The skin is tightened and firmed, with the heat focused on deeper layers without overheating the epidermis.

Cristal Skin radiofrequency is a precise and advanced solution. Using 3 to 6 electrodes, it delivers controlled energy, precisely targeting the treated area. It also activates blood circulation and lymphatic drainage, helping to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Radiofrequency is an excellent technology to combat skin laxity and sagging by addressing their root causes. This non-invasive treatment gradually tightens and firms the skin, session by session.

What to Expect During a Body Radiofrequency Session with Dr. Aimé

Before starting treatment, Dr. Aimé conducts an initial consultation at her clinic. During this session, she will examine your skin and recommend the most appropriate approach based on your needs. This is also an opportunity to review your medical history and ensure there are no contraindications.

On the day of the session, the patient is comfortably positioned. A glycerin gel is applied to optimize the movement of the handpiece. Circular and linear motions are performed on the targeted area until the temperature reaches 42 to 45°C, depending on the indication. This temperature is maintained briefly and monitored throughout the session using an infrared detector.

The procedure is painless and pleasant, often described as a warm, relaxing sensation. Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes on average.

Contraindications for Body Radiofrequency

The use of Cristal Skin radiofrequency is contraindicated in the following cases :

  • Presence of a pacemaker or other metallic implants
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Skin lesions in the treated area (e.g., irritation, melanoma, keloid scars)

Expected Results After a Body Radiofrequency Treatment

This treatment requires no downtime. Patients can resume their usual activities immediately. Some redness may appear but will quickly fade.

Results depend on the treated area and the patient’s goals. Improvements may be noticeable after the first session, becoming more evident after 3 to 4 sessions. Typically, 6 to 10 sessions spaced 7 to 15 days apart are recommended. Collagen production continues for 2 to 3 months after the final session. Maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 months are advised for lasting results.

With time, the treated skin becomes smoother, and significant aesthetic improvements can be observed. The silhouette is better defined, and the skin appears firmer and more toned.

Cristal Skin radiofrequency can be combined with Cristal Pro cryolipolysis to target stubborn fat deposits and Cristal Fit muscle stimulation for deep toning. These complementary technologies form a comprehensive Body-Layering® program to achieve a slim, toned, and harmonious silhouette.
