Excess fat is a common problem. In many cases, small pockets of fat can be resistant to weight loss. No matter how much one diets or exercises, the stubborn areas of fat can remain e.g. under the chin, upper arms, around bra straps, lower abdomen, love-handles, thighs, knees and other areas. Whilst there are a number of non-surgical methods to reduce fat e.g. cryolipolysis (fat-freezing) and injection of fat-dissolving substances, the key to successful treatment is to ensure skin-tightening at the same time as fat-reduction. This can be achieved using subdermal radiofrequency; a treatment that melts fat and tightens the skin at the same time.
Subdermal radiofrequency – Profound Fat Reduction – is an exciting new treatment for skin tightening and fat reduction.

Prior to starting the treatment, the skin is numbed using injection anaesthetic. The treatment involves a series of stamps along the skin; with each stamp, a series of small needles penetrate the skin and deliver radiofrequency heat energy. The heat energy causes significant fat-contraction and skin-tightening.
