Now with the 3^rd Generation Lipofirm machine (Lipofirm MED+) it is a treatment that we’ve been doing (at least 6 times a day) since mid-2018. Like everything else technology lead, the science has progressed but the patented ‘Tri-Polar + DMA’ still remains.

This treatment is a very unique tool when it comes to cellulite reduction and improving the texture and ‘smoothness’ of the skin. The detail of this is explained further down the page but in brief; muscle tissue, subcutaneous fat cells and all 3 layers of skin are being worked on simultaneously for the entire duration of the treatment. What does that mean? It means that the action of the treatment is one of depth, and lasting change, not superficial and short lived. It means that you can ‘shape, tighten and tone’ an area such as your legs and bum. You might say the ‘unique’ element is actually down to you. Simply put, the greater the intensity of the procedure settings (tilted towards Cellulite reduction) the greater the results.

In one sense and solely from our point of view, it would be easier if an alternative cellulite reduction and skin tightening machine could surpass the Lipofirm MED+. The reason for this is simply down to sourcing parts and consumables. Lumenis (formally Pollagen) are a formidable innovator and aesthetic manufacturer, but they are now looking to dominate the ‘US’ market with a much higher price point and population reach. These parts and consumables then incur shipping and import duty fees on top of the increased costs. We wouldn’t be surprised to see the cost of single Lipofirm Cellulite Reduction treatment (in America’s big cities) by mid-2025 be around $500.

Rest assured though, we’re a long way off that yet.

Cellulite reduction is an area that we quite literally, spend all day on. We’re currently using the Lipofirm MED+, this machine was new for 2023 and is the 3^rd generation installment of the ‘Lipofirm Pro’s’ ground-breaking technology.

Over the years there have been 3 main technology-driven options for Cellulite reduction, these are: Radio Frequency (a progressive treatment & often used with Micro-needling), Ultrasonic Cavitation, & Vacuum Mechanical Massage (Endermologie).

We use the Lipofirm MED for 2 reasons, reason 1:

The radio frequency (RF) aspect of the treatment is at the Tri-Polar (tri wave) level. This simply means it’s the most powerful type of radio frequency currently available. The purpose of radio frequency is to cause ‘controlled heat trauma’ to the skin. This, in turn, creates the production of new collagen and elastin from within the skin cells. This results in an improvement in skin tone and texture.  

Reason 2; This is the unique element, DMA (dynamic muscle activation).

At the same time the RF is being delivered, there is a muscle contracting element within the handpiece, this element squeezes your contractile protein within the muscle cells all the way up to the epidermis layer of skin. Between muscle and skin, there is a layer of subcutaneous fat which is squeezed and compressed hundreds of times throughout the treatment. The body then eliminates these localized fat deposits naturally through your lymphatic system.

Now, the key bit. Combining these 2 elements into 1 treatment gives a highly credible solution for Cellulite reduction, reducing localized fat and greatly improving skin tone and texture. 70% of cellulite reduction treatments that we perform; are done on the hamstring, outer thigh, and saddle bag area. In this area, the higher that we can take the DMA settings, the better the results as more fat reduction occurs. So, it’s a 40-minute treatment once a week, if you have a good level of tolerance for moderate discomfort then it will pay off greatly.  It is never painful, just uncomfortable, we find where your tolerance level is and then keep it there for the duration of the treatment.
