During Treatment

Before you undergo treatment with a radiofrequency (RF) device, you will need to have a consultation with a cosmetic practitioner to determine whether or not the treatment is right for you. During your consultation your practitioner should explain the procedure fully, ask for your medical history and give you a consent form to sign which you should read carefully.

How your treatment is performed will vary depending on which type of RF device your practitioner is using (see our section on Types of Radiofrequency Body Treatments). Treatments with RF are not usually painful, however, in some cases a topical anaesthetic cream may be applied prior to treatment to minimise discomfort. If you are a woman, it is advisable to avoid having treatments during your period as your pain threshold may be lowered and this can make the treatment more uncomfortable. In some cases your practitioner may mark out the area being treated to give them guidance. A gel or cream is then usually applied to the treatment area. The RF handpiece will then by run over your problem area delivering energy deep into the tissue to break down fat cells and stimulate collagen production. A cooling gel or pack may be applied after treatment.

A course of treatments is usually recommended to achieve the best results. The amount of treatments you will need will again depend on the type of system being used but typically you should expect to need between eight and 10 treatments once or twice weekly.

Innovative Awards For An Innovative Industry

The prestigious awards are the first awards within the aesthetic and dental industry where consumers are involved in the voting process.

For this reason the awards aim to recognise and reward brands for their product innovation and popularity. Clinics will also be rewarded for providing exceptional experiences and outstanding customer service.

Bridge2Aid

More than 70% of the world's population have no access to the simplest of dental pain relief, leaving billions to face a daily battle with pain in the toughest of life circumstances.

Bridge2Aid was founded as a response to this terrifying problem, by providing access to dental pain relief and to help the millions of people suffering in the developing world. Focussing on sustainability, and with the help of dentists and nurses from the UK, they train more than 48 health workers each year with plans for expansion. Because of this work, an estimated 1.7 million people now live within reach of someone who can help them when they have dental pain.

Bridge2Aid sends around 120 volunteer dentists and nurses from the UK out to East Africa to help train local health workers in basic extraction techniques. This is an area where people have no access to pain relief, leaving millions in pain, and often it lasts years - leaving people unable to work and feed their families.

There are Clinical Officers in place who look after around 20,000 people and dress wounds, deliver babies etc but they don't have any dental training - so this is where we come in! They have 1 week theory and then spend 2 weeks of intensive hands-on training time with our volunteers. If they "pass" the programme, they are given all the equipment they will need to care for their own communities.
