Unique Initiatives at BIANCA CLINIC

When pursuing your ideal body sculpting
Can be used in combination with other sagging treatments

At BIANCA CLINIC, we carefully assess the condition and causes of sagging to propose treatments that help each patient achieve their ideal appearance. We offer standalone Embrace RF treatments for sagging, as well as combinations with other sagging treatments.

For example, combining treatments like the highly effective BIANCA LIFT (thread lift) or "liposuction" to reduce volume under the chin with Embrace RF can sometimes bring you closer to your ideal facial contour.

Additionally, Embrace RF can be used for body contouring as well as facial treatments. Using the dedicated body contouring attachment included with the Morpheus 8, it can tighten areas of concern like upper arms and postpartum abdominal sagging. Since suitability varies depending on the specific sagging condition, please consult with us during your initial consultation.

CHARACTERISTICS

What is Embrace RF?

Embrace RF is a treatment that tightens sagging skin on the face and body without incisions by applying RF (radiofrequency) energy from within the skin. By inserting a long, thin cannula or micro-needles attached to the handpiece under the skin, RF energy is delivered directly to the fat layer and skin surface, delivering powerful tightening effects.

 

Embrace RF's key feature is its ability to set temperatures tailored to each of the three layers responsible for sagging: fat, fibrous tissue, and dermis. Precise temperature sensors monitor both the internal treatment area and the skin's surface, making it easier to balance effectiveness with risk.

 

Compared to HIFU, the leading non-surgical treatment for sagging skin, Embrace RF has a slightly longer downtime. However, it is useful when seeking higher efficacy in a single session. Furthermore, for those hesitant about surgical facelifts, we recommend Embrace RF as a non-invasive option for improving sagging skin.

Featuring RFAL technology for efficient tightening

The Embrace RF handpiece incorporates patented RFAL (Radio-Frequency Assisted LIPOLYSIS) technology. RFAL technology enables RF (radiofrequency) energy to directly target fat, fibrous tissue, and the dermis with a three-dimensional (3D) approach for efficient tightening. By dissolving fat with RF thermal energy while contracting surrounding tissue, it effectively treats sagging in areas of concern with subcutaneous fat.

 

Additionally, the handpiece features a precision temperature sensor that automatically halts RF energy delivery when the set temperature is exceeded, preventing burns. The temperature emitted from the handpiece can be freely adjusted within the preset range, enabling effective tightening of sagging skin from within without incisions.

Select the appropriate handpiece for each area

At BIANCA CLINIC, we offer four types of Embrace RF handpieces, selecting the most suitable one for each treatment area.

At our clinic, we assess the condition and causes of sagging and may recommend combining Embrace RF with other treatments to help each patient achieve their ideal results. For example, FaceTite combined with thread lifts and liposuction enhances the lifting effect, leading to a youthful, firmer appearance. Furthermore, BodyTight, when combined with liposuction, resolves skin laxity to create a more beautiful body contour and youthful skin texture. Additionally, AccuTight can be used in conjunction with FaceTight or BodyTight, and Morpheus8 is also recommended for combination with liposuction.

Benefits

MERIT

It is possible to tighten the entire sagging tissue with a surface treatment.

Embrace RF delivers RF (radiofrequency) energy deep within the skin, efficiently tightening sagging tissue across an entire area rather than just a single point.

Post-treatment scars are less noticeable and downtime is minimal.

Compared to sagging treatments involving incisions, Embracer RF leaves only pinprick-sized scars measuring a few millimeters, making them less noticeable, and tends to have shorter downtime.

Tightening while boosting skin firmness and elasticity

When RFAL's thermal energy stimulates the fibrous tissue and dermis, collagen and elastin are produced, tightening the skin while simultaneously enhancing its firmness and elasticity.

RECOMMENDED POINTS

Candidates for Embrace RF Skin Tightening Treatment

Candidates for Embrace RF sagging treatment are as follows. However, eligibility may vary depending on the specific condition of sagging, so please consult with us during your initial consultation.

 

・For those who want to effectively treat sagging skin but are afraid of undergoing a facelift procedure
・Individuals experiencing sagging after osteotomy surgery
・For those who have undergone liposuction but are concerned about sagging skin
・Individuals who were denied liposuction due to skin laxity

Combining liposuction and thread lift for enhanced results

If you're concerned about sagging or loose skin along your jawline or body contours, liposuction alone may not fully address skin laxity depending on your facial or body condition and age. For the face, combining Embrace RF, liposuction, and thread lifts simultaneously lifts sagging skin, creating a firmer, tighter appearance and enhancing overall results.

 

Additionally, for body treatments, performing liposuction simultaneously with Embrace RF reduces the likelihood of skin tightening or indentations on the body's surface compared to volume reduction achieved by liposuction alone. For cases combining Embrace RF with liposuction or thread lifts, please visit our official website and Instagram.

We also recommend combining liposuction with Embrace RF.

When combining Embrace RF with liposuction, the downtime is similar to or slightly shorter than that of liposuction alone. This is because the RF (radiofrequency) heating allows for hemostasis during the procedure, resulting in significantly less bleeding. Fat removed by liposuction alone has a reddish hue from blood, whereas fat aspirated during combined Embrace RF treatment appears yellowish, indicating minimal bleeding.

 

For those concerned about downtime after Embrace RF, we also offer an "Edema Reduction IV Drip" to minimize swelling. This promotes wound healing and enhances cosmetic results. Additionally, we provide a "Post-Procedure Oral Supplement Set," formulated under the guidance of our aesthetic medicine director, Dr. Yoko Maeda. This set supports post-procedure recovery and skin rejuvenation by delivering nutrients often difficult to obtain through daily life.

Procedure begins. Anesthesia (relaxation anesthesia/intravenous anesthesia) will be administered. A cannula is inserted through a 2-3mm needle puncture made in an inconspicuous area of the treatment site, and RF energy is applied. The procedure time varies depending on the treatment area but generally takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Embrace RF

Q&A

What is the difference between Embrace RF and HIFU?

Embrace RF and HIFU are both thermal energy-based treatments for skin laxity. The primary difference lies in the irradiation temperature. Simply put, Embrace RF is a device that sandwiches the skin internally and externally for irradiation, allowing precise settings: a higher temperature effective against laxity within the skin, and a temperature on the skin surface that minimizes burn risk. HIFU, on the other hand, delivers high-density ultrasound irradiation from the skin surface, maintaining a constant temperature.
Embrace RF is considered to offer higher treatment efficacy per session due to its precise temperature control both inside and outside the skin. However, HIFU has a shorter downtime. Therefore, our clinic provides treatment recommendations tailored to each patient's specific goals.

What is the difference between a face lift and a facelift?

The difference between Embrace RF (Face Light) and a facelift is whether an incision is made. Embrace RF tightens the cause of sagging without cutting by applying RF energy beneath the skin. A facelift, on the other hand, is a surgical procedure that involves making incisions in inconspicuous areas like behind the ears and manually lifting the sagging layers.
While facelifts offer longer-lasting results, non-surgical treatments like Embrace RF are available for those hesitant about incisions. Our clinic provides a variety of sagging treatments, so please feel free to consult with us.

When can I start feeling the effects of Embrace RF?

Embrace RF is not a treatment that delivers immediate results, but you will gradually begin to notice a tightening effect starting one month after the procedure.

Can Embrace RF improve nasolabial folds?

Nasolabial folds can be caused by both inherent bone structure and aging, and their treatment methods differ accordingly. Therefore, while it's difficult to make a blanket statement, Embrace RF may potentially be effective. To determine if your nasolabial folds are suitable for Embrace RF treatment, we strongly recommend consulting with a physician.

Are there any treatments that can be used in combination with Embrace RF?

Some treatments can be combined. For example, combining Embrace RF with liposuction can help achieve a sleeker appearance under the chin, an area prone to sagging. We offer step-by-step proposals to help you achieve your ideal results, so please consult with us about your concerns.

What is the downtime for Embrace RF?

Individual results may vary, but the downtime for Embrace RF is typically around 1 to 2 weeks. Significant swelling occurs immediately after the procedure, but it gradually subsides while the tightening effect increases. Compared to HIFU, the downtime is longer, but it becomes barely noticeable after about a month.
If you experience any concerning symptoms after surgery, please consult your doctor promptly.

How long does the effect of Embrace RF last?

The effects of Embrace RF last approximately six months to one year. After the procedure, noticeable swelling typically lasts about two weeks, but you will begin to feel the tightening effect as time passes. While individual results vary, the peak tightening effect is usually felt around six months after treatment, and the effects tend to last for about one year following the procedure.

Does the Embrace RF treatment cause pain?

During the Embrace RF procedure, anesthesia is administered, so in most cases, the treatment is completed while you are drowsy and feel no pain. At BIANCA CLINIC, we take careful measures to address any discomfort during the procedure. If you have significant concerns about pain, please consult with your physician.

When can I bathe, wash my face, and apply makeup?

For Embrace RF attachments such as BodyTight, FaceTight, or AccuTight, bathing, facial cleansing, and makeup application are possible the following day or later. However, for the Mofius 8, home care can be performed the next day, and makeup application is possible 48 hours or later.
