Are you struggling with stubborn pockets of fat that don't respond to diet and exercise? Is liposuction not a good option for you, as you want a non-surgical procedure that includes a skin-tightening element? MedicSPA Gatineau is proud to offer an advanced treatment that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to reduce unwanted fat in targeted areas while tightening the skin, providing a minimally invasive body contouring and skin-smoothing procedure with little-to-no downtime.
What Is RF Body Contouring and Skin Tightening?
This cutting-edge aesthetic treatment utilizes radiofrequency energy to improve the quality of your skin while also offering body contouring benefits. During the procedure, a thin probe is inserted through a small incision in your skin, allowing RF energy to penetrate deeply beneath the surface. This thermal energy not only stimulates collagen and elastin production but also helps break down small fat deposits beneath the skin.
The result is a treatment that firms and smooths the skin while also sculpting and tightening treated areas. It can be used almost anywhere, from under your chin down to your knees—any areas that are prone to sagging or fat accumulation.

What to Expect During Treatment
Am I a Good Candidate for RF Body Contouring?
This minimally invasive treatment is suitable for a variety of skin types and tones, and it can be used on multiple areas of the body. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity
- Have small areas of stubborn fat or soft bulges
- Are in good overall health and prefer minimally invasive options
The best way to find out if you're a good candidate is to schedule an appointment with one of the experts at MedicSPA Gatineau. They will listen to your concerns, examine you, and determine whether this approach is right for you.
How Is RF Body Contouring and Skin Tightening Performed?
Your body contouring treatment begins with a small incision made in the targeted treatment area. A thin probe is inserted, and the specialized device delivers RF energy deep into the tissue, disrupting fat cells and triggering collagen remodeling.
Most sessions last less than an hour, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
Results
What Is Recovery Like After Treatment?
Recovery is typically very mild. You may experience some redness, swelling, or a warm sensation in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually resolve within one to three days. Most patients resume regular activities within 24 hours.
What Can I Expect From My RF Treatment Results?
Results from this specialized treatment develop gradually. Within a few days, you may notice tighter, firmer skin and improved tone. Over the following four to six weeks, as new collagen and elastin form and fat cells break down, you'll see smoother skin texture and a more contoured shape.
For best results, a series of three to four treatments spaced a few weeks apart is often recommended. With good skincare habits and occasional maintenance, your results can last a year or longer.
