FAT & CELLULITE REDUCTION

Tripolar Slimming systemTripolar for skin tightening and cellulite reduction uses two applications in one system. This means you can have skin tightening and cellulite reduction all in one treatment:

Skin tightening

  • Face
  • Neck & jowls
  • Arms/batwings

Cellulite Reduction

  • Abdomen/obliques (love handles)
  • Buttocks
  • Thighs - inner and outer

How does Tripolar RF technology work?

This non-invasive and pain free technology uses one head to deliver RF energy to the skin - combining the effects of uni-polar and bi-polar technologies selectively heating fat cells in the skin tissues.

Tripolar uses one head to simultaneously heat deep and shallow tissue layers all the while protecting the surface skin. Now making it easier and faster than ever to smooth, tighten and regenerate the skins collagen without injections, surgery or downtime.


As our skin matures and is continuously subjected to environmental effects, its connective tissue begins to break down, causing wrinkles and other signs of ageing develop.


The Tripolar RF energy penetrates the skin layers to selectively heat the skin tissue and the extra-cellular matrix (ECM) where the Collagen fibers are embedded. The local heating causes an immediate contraction of the collagen fibers, and at the same time increases the metabolism of the Fibroblasts thereby accelerating the production of new Collagen and Elastin fibers.


The contraction of Collagen fibers and the regeneration of the Collagen and Elastin deposits, tighten the skin layers creating smoother, healthier and younger looking skin.


Body Sculpting & Cellulite Reduction

Cellulite is a change in the fat stored under the skin, appearing as dimples or ripples in the skin. It affects most women. In fact studies have shown that about 80% of women over the age of 18 have some degree of cellulite. Yes, even thin women!

Dimpled or rippling skin commonly referred to as cottage cheese is mostly found on thighs, buttocks and stomach. Focal heating of the fat cells in these specific areas increases the rate at which liquid fat is released from the heated tissue.

Tripolar RF technology, effectively treats cellulite at the root of the problem. Tripolar's unique configuration selectively heats the fat cells under the skin without adversely affecting the surrounding tissues, wherein increasing metabolism and secretion of liquid fat. At the same time, simultaneously heating deep and superficial layers of fat, doing so by combining the dual effects of uni-polar RF and bi-polar RF in one applicator.



Cellulite condition – Accumulation of a large number of enlarged fat cells in the Hypodermis. The accumulated fat presses the skin creating the “cottage cheese skin” effect.


Tripolar RF Technology selectively increases the temperature of fat cells doing so simultaneously in the deep and superficial layers of fat. This increases metabolism and the release of liquid fat from the fat cells.


After treatment and release of liquid fat, the fat cells shrink in size and skin is restored closer to original form, reducing or eliminating the cellulite appearance.

An alternative solution for those not able to have Smartlipo or Vaser Lipo

For fat reduction Smartlipo and Vaser Lipo are the gold standards, being performed by EF MediSpa's cosmetic surgeons. These are medical procedures which may not be indicated for all clients. With this in mind EF MediSpa offers Tripolar next generation technology as a non-invasive alternative. Tripolar not only heats the fat cells under the skin without adversely affecting the surrounding tissues, it also increases the metabolism and secretion of fat.

Tripolar is clinically proven on all skin types to regenerate collagen, tighten and tone the skin and improve overall skin laxity.

How many treatments are needed?

A course of 8–12 treatments with one treatment per week is recommended depending on the area of the body being treated. Each treatment lasts between 30-60 minutes per area. It is possible to treat more than one area per session.

After the initial treatment course, to ensure long lasting results, it is recommended that a maintenance programme is undertaken. Your EF MediSpa consultant will be able to advise you on the maintenance programme towards the end of your course of treatments.
