What Is Quantum RF?
Quantum RF is a minimally invasive treatment that tightens skin by using bipolar radiofrequency (RF) energy to trigger increased collagen production, contract and tighten soft tissue, and dissolve stubborn fat cells. By administering this thermal energy to the deepest layers of skin, Quantum RF triggers the body’s natural healing process and increases collagen production. With more collagen, you can experience noticeably healthier, stronger skin, with improvements taking place on a cellular level—not just at the surface.
Pairing Quantum RF With Liposuction
Quantum RF’s advantages go beyond skin tightening, also able to minimize unwanted fat. It uses radiofrequency energy to thermally “zap” subdermal fat cells.
However, on its own, Quantum RF can only remove up to 15% of fat cells. This is because Quantum RF doesn’t suction out fat like liposuction can. Instead, it gently heats the fat beneath the skin, causing the fat cells to break down. The body then naturally eliminates these damaged cells over time.
When paired with liposuction, Quantum RF has the potential to be far more effective. This is because liposuction allows us to use Quantum more aggressively, eliminating more fat cells than the body would naturally be able to flush out on its own. Instead of those cells lingering and potentially becoming hard, stubborn fat pockets called fibroids, they are sucked out with the liposuction device. Liposuction allows for deeper fat removal, helping to eliminate stubborn pockets and enhance your contours.
Combining Quantum RF and Liposuction: The Treatment Process
On the day of treatment, you first receive a series of lidocaine injections from Dr. Bass, our RN, or his PA. This takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour to ensure that the treatment area is fully numbed. Our staff is especially meticulous with this part of the process because we truly care about your comfort.
Your procedure starts with Quantum RF. Dr. Bass first makes a few small “access point” incisions to insert the thin probe underneath your skin. This allows him to tighten loose skin and minimize unwanted fat. He then goes in with a liposuction cannula to further shape your treatment area and suction out the melted fat.
Your experience is entirely customizable, depending on your unique needs. Dr. Bass is happy to answer any questions you have throughout your consultation, procedure, and beyond.
