How Does Radiofrequency Body Contouring Work?

How Does Radiofrequency Body Contouring Work?

Everyone wants a tight, toned body, but hardly anyone wants to get it through surgery. Can you blame them? 

That’s why we’re proud to offer our patients Reaction™ by Viora, the industry’s leading radiofrequency (RF) body contouring system. But how does it actually work?

Divina Averilla, MD, and our team at Love Your Body Medical Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada, are here to answer that question. 

What is RF body contouring?

RF body contouring is a noninvasive treatment that uses controlled RF energy to heat the deepest layers of your skin. The heat stimulates collagen production, improves skin elasticity, and helps break down stubborn fat cells. 

Over time, your body naturally processes fat cells and tightens the treated area, giving you a more sculpted look. 

Unlike traditional surgical procedures like liposuction, RF body contouring requires no downtime and is completely painless, making it the perfect option for anyone who is looking to enhance their figure without committing to invasive surgery. 

How does Reaction by Viora work?

The Reaction by Viora system, with its patented CORE (Channeling Optimized RF Energy) technology, takes RF body contouring to the next level. This advanced system allows for greater customization, letting us tailor treatments to target fat, tighten skin, and smooth cellulite — or all three at once. 

The CORE technology uses multiple RF channels to heat different layers of skin and underlying fat. The controlled heating stimulates collagen remodeling, improves circulation, and boosts metabolism in fat cells, helping to shrink and eliminate them over time. 

The Reaction system also incorporates vacuum therapy, which enhances blood flow, encourages lymphatic drainage, and increases tissue penetration to improve the effectiveness of the RF energy. 

Whether you want to tighten loose skin, smooth cellulite, or contour specific areas like your abdomen, thighs, arms, or buttocks, we adjust the setting to meet your needs. 

Am I a candidate for RF body contouring?

Because RF body contouring is such a versatile treatment, many of our patients can reap its benefits. You’re an ideal candidate if you have mild to moderate fat deposits, skin laxity, and/or cellulite.

It’s important to remember that RF body contouring isn’t a weight loss solution. It works best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. 

What can I expect from treatment?

An RF body contouring session is quick and comfortable. Here’s what you can expect.

There’s no special preparation for anesthesia required. During treatment, the RF energy creates a gentle warming sensation as it penetrates your skin, so you shouldn't feel any discomfort. 

Treatments usually last 20-45 minutes, depending on the area being treated. 

The best part? There’s no downtime required. You can resume your normal activities immediately after your session. 

Most patients see improvements after a few treatments, with the best results developing after 6-8 sessions. Results are long-lasting, especially with a good skincare and wellness routine. However, as your body ages, you may need maintenance treatments to sustain your results. 

If you’re looking for a safe, effective, and noninvasive way to tighten skin, reduce fat, and smooth cellulite, RF body contouring is right for you. To find out if you’re a candidate, contact Love Your Body Medical Spa online to request an appointment with Dr. Averilla, or call today.
