Vacuum RF Therapy is one of several therapies used to tackle the hard-to-shift, dimpled fat often found on thighs, knees, buttocks, stomach, and the tops of arms.
A vacuum is produced around the area by pulling the cellulite away from the muscle, enhancing the effects of massage or exercise while promoting blood flow and lymphatic drainage. Similar to the traditional Chinese practice of “cupping,” vacuum RF therapy is a popular alternative medicine.

It also applies radio frequency energies for superficial and deep heating fat cells, dermal collagen fibers, and connective tissues.

These energies promote skin elasticity and resilience by softening connective tissue and stimulating new collagen synthesis. The skin looks tighter and younger by promoting cellular turnover. The outcomes include:

Final Words

Your cells create less collagen as you get older, which causes wrinkles and drooping skin.
When the quantity and quality of your collagen start to decline around the age of 35 to 40, skin laxness develops. Since the early 2000s, RF therapy has been utilized to combat drooping skin and other aging symptoms.
