Radiofrequency Treatments Are Not “Wasted Money”2025.12.21
— Proper Indication Is Everything —
RF treatments are often dismissed as ineffective.
In reality, most failures result from incorrect indication, not the technology itself.
The same anatomical principles apply to both face and body:
• Dermis
• Superficial and deep subcutaneous fat
• Muscle
• Bone
Treatment choice depends on which layer and how intensely we want to target.

■ Areas where thigh liposuction should NOT be performed
• Just below the buttocks (banana roll):
Leads to buttock descent and unnatural lines.
• Directly above the knee:
Causes wrinkled, aged skin.

■ Our approach
At AVAN TOKYO Ginza Liposuction Clinic, we intentionally avoid liposuction in these areas.
Instead, we use InMode Morpheus8 Burst mode, delivering energy up to 7 mm depth, targeting the superficial fat and dermis for precise tightening.

■ RF is not for everything
• Thick fat → Liposuction
• Severe skin laxity → Surgical lift
• RF for everything → ❌
Accurate diagnosis determines success.
