Despite slogging it out in the gym and watching what you eat, there are some areas of fat (we’re looking at you, muffin top!) that just won’t budge.

The good news? There’s now a quick, effective and reliable way to permanently get rid of stubborn fat with little to no downtime. It’s called enCurve.

What is enCurve?

enCurve is a body-sculpting device that uses non-contact radiofrequency (RF) technology to permanently kill fat cells.

Using 27.12MHz, enCurve selectively targets and gently heats fat cells to an optimal temperature, leading to the fat cells’ death. The body’s natural removal process then takes over, permanently removing the damaged cells. This process is called natural apoptosis and it results in a sleeker body contour in the treatment area.

A 27.12MHz frequency is the magic number for permanent fat cell death because it is more highly absorbed by the fat cell. These cells are more responsive than the cells in the epidermis, dermis or muscles and leaves them unaffected, making this frequency ideal for body contouring.

enCurve is a highly versatile treatment that can be tailored to fit a variety of body types and contours. It consists of two different applicators that can be positioned over the abdomen and flanks at the same time, effectively treating two areas at once. It can also simultaneously target stubborn fat on the upper arms, thighs or buttocks.

The breakthrough fat reduction device also features a unique system called Personalized Impedance Synchronization Application (PISA), ensuring each treatment is completely tailored to individual concerns in order to deliver the best clinical outcome.

What’s involved?

Treatment with enCurve is generally quite quick and lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, involving minimal discomfort and generally no downtime.

Treatment tip

Drink plenty of water, at least two litres a day starting three days before treatment. Continue this several days after the treatment as well, as it assists in helping your body flush out the fat cells.

The applicator is positioned over the abdomen and flanks at the same time, and patients will feel gentle warmth as the energy penetrates and it begins to heat the epidermis and dermis.

Unlike other non-invasive fat reduction devices, enCurve is never in direct contact with the skin, so no heat is transferred directly to the epidermis.

The treatment is comfortable, convenient and the majority of patients report minimal discomfort, with most only experiencing a slight warming sensation on their skin.

For many people, downtime is not an option. With enCurve, patients can immediately return to their daily activities, as there is generally no downtime apart from a little redness (which usually disappears within 12-24 hours).

Results?

The percentage of fat cells reduced depends on the amount of fat cells originally present. In terms of circumferential reduction, it ranges from 2cm to 18cm, with the average being 5cm.

The number of sessions required depends on the individual body contours and overall treatment goals. Generally a number of treatments will be required to produce optimal fat blasting results (around four to six), however results will begin to appear after the second session.

While people with a lower BMI and small pockets of stubborn fat will still see a reduction after treatment with enCurve, the most dramatic results and greatest circumference loss will be seen in patients with a higher BMI.
