Radiofrequency for Fat Removal and Skin Tightening of the Body

Increasingly, patients are seeking minimally invasive methods to tighten skin and remodel adipose tissue. A large treatment gap exists among 3 types of patients: the younger demographic, who desire soft tissue tightening without traditional operations, scars, and downtime; patients with soft tissue laxity who are not “severe enough” to justify an excisional procedure, but not “mild enough” to rely on liposuction with soft tissue contraction alone; and those with recurrent laxity who already underwent traditional excisional procedure. In these populations, aesthetic surgeons risk undertreating or overtreating with traditional methods.
