What is Cellulite?
Cellulite is a common skin condition characterized by dimpled, lumpy appearance on the skin, caused by fat deposits pushing against the connective tissue, including fibrous bands beneath the skin. It is caused by a combination of factors including genetics, hormonal changes, and lifestyle factors. While not harmful, cellulite can be a cosmetic concern for some.
What is RF for Cellulite?
TempSure Radiofrequency (RF) treatments offer a non-invasive solution to cellulite by using energy waves to heat deep skin layers, stimulating collagen production and improving skin tightness, smoothness and elasticity.
Here are six reasons why RF stands out for cellulite reduction:
1. Consistent and Reliable Results Beyond Just Treating Cellulite
RF provides consistent outcomes as it effectively targets the causes of cellulite visibility. Regular treatments can lead to substantial improvements in skin texture and firmness. In addition to diminishing the appearance of cellulite, RF tones and sculpts the treated area for a body contouring effect.
2. Collagen Production
RF treatments heat the deeper layers of the skin, triggering the natural healing process that leads to new collagen formation. Collagen is important for firming and tightening the skin, which in turn reduces the appearance of cellulite.

One of the significant advantages of TempSure RF treatments is their safety across all skin types. This versatility ensures that almost anyone looking to reduce cellulite can consider RF without concerns about pigmentation, scarring or skin reaction.
4. Non-Invasive with No Downtime
Unlike surgical options, RF treatments are non-invasive. There’s no cutting, no needles, and importantly, no downtime required. You can return to your daily activities immediately after a session, making it a convenient option for busy individuals.

What can I expect during my RF Cellulite Treatment appointment?
TempSure RF for cellulite offers a comfortable and safe procedure that is completely painless, ensuring a pleasant experience for patients without any downtime. Many guests have likened the sensation to that of a soothing hot stone massage.
Here’s what you can expect during your TempSure Envi treatment:
Consultation:
Begin your TempSure RF journey by engaging in a comprehensive consultation with one of our skilled laser technicians. During this important step, your skin expert will diligently evaluate your individual requirements, engage in an open discussion about your goals, and attentively address any inquiries you may have regarding the treatment. Together, we will craft a tailored treatment plan that caters to your distinct skin, body, and lifestyle, ensuring that your expectations align with the anticipated outcomes.
Prep:
Lie down and settle into a position of relaxation as you prepare for the procedure. A nourishing gel will be gently applied to the treatment area, facilitating smooth movement of the TempSure handpiece across your skin.
Treatment:
Your experienced laser technician will begin the treatment by skillfully maneuvering the handpiece in circular or grid-like patterns over the targeted area. As you unwind, you may gradually feel a gentle warmth permeating the deeper layers of your skin. Treatment times for cellulite typically last for about an hour.
After the Treatment:
Following the procedure, you may notice slight redness, which is a natural response to the warmth and subcutaneous tissue heating. This pink or redness will diminish shortly after the session. The best part? You can resume your normal daily activities immediately after the treatment, without any interruption or downtime.
The process of collagen rebuilding, ignited by the treatment, begins during the session itself and extends its transformative impact over the following days, weeks, and even months as your stimulated cells undergo rejuvenation.
How many treatments will I need?
To optimize the desired results, your laser technician will recommend a series of treatments (usually 3-5) , ideally spaced every 10-30 days. This strategic approach ensures that you harness the cumulative benefits of continuous collagen production and gradual skin tightening, unveiling the most noticeable and lasting outcomes for your skin.
Prepare yourself for a rejuvenating and blissful experience with TempSure Envi, where you can achieve remarkable results while maintaining your usual routine with ease.
6. Long-lasting Improvements
With a proper treatment plan, the improvements in skin texture and reduction in cellulite appearance are long-lasting. To maintain these results, periodic follow-up sessions are recommended based on individual needs.
Your Total Wrapture skin technician will engage in a comprehensive consultation with you to understand your goals and expectations, and communicate transparently regarding anticipated results. Every individual’s physique differs, and the response of a person’s skin, integumentary, and lymphatic systems to a cellulite treatment varies.
How many cellulite treatments are typically required to see results?
Our recommendation typically involves starting with a series of 3-5 cellulite treatments.
Your laser technician will carefully customize a plan tailored to your specific needs and advise scheduling these treatments ideally every 10-30 days. This strategic approach allows you to maximize the cumulative advantages of continuous collagen production during each triggered skin cycle and progressive skin tightening, ultimately unveiling the most visible outcomes for your skin.
What is a Skin Cycle?
A monthly skin cycle is the natural process of skin cell turnover and renewal. Our skin constantly undergoes a cycle of cell growth, collagen production, maturation, and shedding. Radiofrequency treatments trigger a new skin cycle with increased collagen production and promote lymphatic debris flushing to eliminate dead fat cells. After each RF-triggered skin cycle, your skin shows increasing improvements such as density, tone, firmness, and smoothness. Results become increasingly noticeable after each treatment in a planned span of time.
Thanks to your body’s natural skin cycles, you can keep improving your results. Multiple energy-based skin care treatments, (in this case, TempSure radiofrequency), are needed to achieve excellent outcomes. Since the skin cycle takes time, a single treatment is not sufficient to produce significant and long-lasting results.
By undergoing a series of treatments spaced apart over a period of time, we can harness the cumulative effects of these energy-based treatments, allowing for continuous improvement in skin texture, tone, and tightness. This approach ensures that the skin is consistently stimulated and rejuvenated throughout its natural cycle, leading to more noticeable and transformative outcomes over time.
This transformative effect commences during each treatment and continues to unfold in the days, weeks, and months that follow as your stimulated cells undergo rejuvenation. Based on your desired outcomes, your laser technician will tailor a customized treatment plan that aligns with your specific needs.
TempSure RF treatments offer a promising solution if you are looking to diminish the appearance of cellulite effectively and comfortably. By stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity, RF can help achieve smoother, more toned skin. For anyone considering cellulite treatment options, RF provides a safe, effective, and non-invasive option.
