Body Radiofrequency Treatment - Neauvia Sectum®

Non-surgical skin tightening and body contouring in London.

From £780 per session

Changes in body skin are common with ageing, pregnancy and weight fluctuations. Over time the dermis gradually loses collagen density and elasticity, which can lead to skin laxity and changes in texture.

Many people notice this in areas such as the abdomen, thighs, arms or buttocks. While surgery can address more advanced skin laxity, many patients prefer to begin with non-surgical approaches aimed at improving skin quality.

One technology used at Dr Hans Clinics for this purpose is Neauvia Sectum radiofrequency therapy.

Sectum is a radiofrequency platform designed to deliver controlled thermal energy into the skin. The goal is to gently heat the dermis in order to support collagen structure and improve skin firmness over time.

The treatment is non-surgical and typically involves minimal recovery time.

What is Neauvia Sectum Body RF?

Neauvia Sectum is a radiofrequency system designed for several medical and aesthetic applications.

Radiofrequency energy is electrical energy that passes through tissue. As the energy encounters resistance within the skin it converts into heat. When this heat is delivered in a controlled manner, it can influence collagen fibres and support gradual tissue remodelling.

Sectum operates at approximately 480 kHz radiofrequency frequency with power output up to 120 W, allowing practitioners to adjust treatment parameters depending on the treatment area. 

Unlike some technologies that remove layers of skin, radiofrequency treatments work primarily within the dermis. The epidermis remains intact, which is why recovery is usually minimal.

Peel Portfolio

Bipolar radiofrequency technology

Body treatments with Sectum use bipolar radiofrequency energy.

In bipolar systems, electrical current travels between two electrodes located on the treatment applicator. The current path is relatively short, which concentrates energy within the dermal layers of the skin.

This allows practitioners to heat the dermis in a controlled way while limiting deeper energy penetration.

In aesthetic treatments this approach is commonly used for skin tightening rather than aggressive fat reduction.

How body radiofrequency treatments work

During treatment a conductive gel is applied to the skin and the applicator is moved continuously across the treatment area.

Radiofrequency energy generates controlled heating within the dermis. In body protocols the target temperature is typically higher than facial treatments.

Typical treatment parameters include:

Target temperature
40–42°C

Session duration
20–30 minutes per treatment area

Treatment course
6–8 sessions

Treatment interval
approximately one week

The treatment area is generally divided into sections roughly the size of an A4 sheet to ensure even heat distribution.

Maintaining continuous movement of the applicator is important to avoid excessive heat in one location.

Treatment areas

Neauvia Sectum body treatments may be used to improve skin firmness in areas such as:

● abdomen
● buttocks
● thighs
● upper arms

These areas are often affected by gradual changes in collagen structure over time.
The goal of the treatment is to improve skin texture and support dermal firmness rather than dramatically reshape the body.

Conductive gel system

Neauvia Sectum body treatments use a dedicated conductive gel designed specifically for radiofrequency procedures.

The gel is an important part of the treatment protocol because it:

● improves energy delivery into the skin
● allows smooth movement of the applicator
● reduces electrical resistance on the skin surface

These properties help distribute heat more evenly throughout the dermis.

Body gel ingredients
The Sectum body gel contains several ingredients used in body contour protocols:
● caffeine
● glaucine
● soybean ferment extract

These ingredients are included to support the treatment environment while radiofrequency energy is delivered.

Does radiofrequency reduce fat?

Patients sometimes assume that radiofrequency treatments are designed primarily for fat reduction.

In reality, most body radiofrequency treatments focus on skin tightening and dermal stimulation.

Fat cells are damaged only when exposed to higher temperatures and longer exposure times than those typically used in skin tightening treatments.

Sectum body treatments usually maintain temperatures around 40–42°C, which are designed to stimulate collagen and improve skin firmness.

For this reason, the treatment should not be considered a weight-loss procedure.

Can radiofrequency improve cellulite?

Cellulite is influenced by several factors including:

● connective tissue structure
● fat distribution
● skin thickness

Radiofrequency treatments may improve the appearance of cellulite in some patients by supporting dermal collagen and improving skin firmness.

However, cellulite is a complex condition and results vary between individuals.

Combination protocols

In aesthetic practice, body treatments are often combined with other therapies depending on the patient’s goals.

RF with collagen-stimulating treatments

Some patients benefit from treatments that stimulate collagen within the dermis while radiofrequency provides controlled thermal stimulation.

RF with regenerative therapies

Autologous treatments such as platelet-based therapies may be incorporated into body treatment plans depending on the concern being addressed.

RF with skin-quality treatments

In areas affected by stretch marks or skin thinning, additional treatments may be recommended to improve skin quality alongside radiofrequency stimulation.

Combination treatment plans are always tailored following consultation.

Safety in darker skin types

Radiofrequency energy does not rely on melanin absorption.

This means RF treatments are generally considered suitable for a wide range of skin types.

However, careful assessment is still required in patients with inflammatory skin conditions or pigmentation disorders.

Recovery

Body radiofrequency treatments generally involve minimal downtime.

Some patients experience temporary effects such as:
● redness
● mild swelling
● warmth in the treated area

These effects usually resolve within several hours.

Normal daily activities can typically be resumed immediately.

Evidence and research

Radiofrequency technologies have been studied for their effects on skin tightening and dermal remodelling.

Examples of published research include:

Alster TS, Tanzi EL.
Non-ablative radiofrequency for skin tightening.
Dermatologic Surgery.

Fitzpatrick R et al.
Multicentre evaluation of radiofrequency treatment for skin laxity.
Lasers in Surgery and Medicine.

Elsaie ML.
Radiofrequency devices in dermatology.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.

These studies suggest controlled dermal heating can influence collagen structure and improve skin laxity in selected patients.

Outcomes vary depending on individual characteristics and treatment parameters.

FAQ

Will this treatment cause facial fat loss?

One concern patients frequently raise is whether radiofrequency treatments can reduce facial fat.

This concern often comes from misunderstanding how radiofrequency energy works.

Fat cells are damaged only when exposed to higher temperatures and longer exposure times than those typically used in facial skin tightening treatments.

Sectum facial protocols generally maintain tissue temperatures around:

37–41°C

These temperatures are selected to stimulate the dermis rather than damage fat tissue.

Adipocyte injury typically requires temperatures above those used in facial RF tightening.

For this reason, when treatments are performed correctly within recommended parameters, fat loss is not an expected outcome.

Most patients describe the sensation as warmth rather than pain.

Energy levels are adjusted throughout treatment to maintain comfort.

Some patients notice subtle improvements after the first few treatments.

More noticeable changes often develop gradually over several weeks.

Results vary depending on skin quality and lifestyle factors.

Maintenance treatments may be recommended.

Melasma is a complex pigmentation disorder influenced by hormonal factors, ultraviolet exposure and heat.
Although radiofrequency does not target melanin directly, excessive heat can theoretically aggravate melasma in some individuals.
For patients with melasma:
• conservative treatment parameters may be used
• treatment areas may be modified
• combination treatment plans may be recommended
A consultation is required to determine whether treatment is appropriate.

No.

Radiofrequency treatments improve skin quality but do not reposition deeper tissues or remove excess skin.

Yes. Many patients benefit from combination treatment plans tailored to their individual concerns.
