Are these treatments for me? If you are concerned with localized fat, cellulite, even lax skin following pregnancy or just want a tighter backside, it’s worth considering the latest scientific developments. Mabel6 Multi-Polar RF technology, offers the most advanced development in the treatment of body sculpting and cellulite as well as facial contouring and skin tightening. This remarkable technology treats the skin gently and effectively. When can I expect to see results? Immediate results are seen in almost all patients during the first treatment. Further, the desired outcome can be seen over a full treatment course; noticeable reduction of body circumference, buttocks contouring and lifting. Clients report measurable smaller thighs with improved tone and texture of arms and legs within a few weeks of treatment. How does it work? Mabel6 Multi-Polar RF energy is delivered simultaneously into the deep and shallow layers of the skin protecting the surface layer. The treatment deals with the root of the problem and not just the symptoms. Collagen is heated and stimulated, creating an immediate contraction, followed by remodelling of the deep skin layers by promoting new collagen growth, which produces tighter, more youthful skin. Will it hurt? The treatment is virtually painless. Mabel6 Multi-Polar RF focuses the energy right where it’s needed so less power is necessary. During treatment, a mild heating sensation can be felt. Immediately after treatment, some redness and warmth can be seen and felt on the skin. Both should disappear within an hour or so following the treatment. Has it been clinically tested? Mabel6 Multi-Polar RF treatments have been clinically proven to tighten and re-contour the skin on the arms, legs buttocks, and tummy, leaving skin looking firmer and younger. Anyone treated with Mabel6 Multi-Polar RF can expect collagen contraction, with results varying from person to person; some clients attain a circumference reduction of up to 7cm in the thigh area. Can all areas of the body be treated and does skin colour make a difference? Any patient with loose or lax skin can have the treatment and skin colour makes no difference to the effectiveness of the procedure. It should be noted that Radio Frequency cannot be applied to patients with pacemakers, metal plates or pins in the treatment area, severe heart disease, and diseases of connective and muscular tissue or pregnant and breast feeding women. How long does it take and does it hurt? Depending on the size of the area being treated the procedure can take as little as 20 minutes up to a maximum of several hours for the treatment of extensive areas. The patient experiences a gentle heating sensation during the procedure. There is no pain and because the surface layer of the skin is not damaged there is no prolonged healing time and normal activities can be resumed immediately. Are there any side-effects? RF procedures have an excellent safety record. Redness (erythema) of the treatment area is usually noted during the procedure and resolves within 30 minutes to 24 hours following treatment. Rarely swelling and blistering in the treated area may occur. These side effects usually settle within a few days.
