RESONIC is a truly non-invasive treatment that does not require anesthesia or needles.

The majority of women (9 out of 10) in the United States are affected by cellulite. Because one of the primary factors of cellulite can’t be impacted by diet or exercise, it’s not something you can get rid of on your own.
With so many options, it can be hard to decide which cellulite treatment is right for you. The best way to choose a treatment is to talk to your aesthetic provider and to understand the causes of cellulite in the first place.
Septa are springy bands that connect your skin to the muscle layer underneath. These bands are surrounded by fat cells, and over time can stiffen due to the effects of aging, weight gain, hormonal changes, or other factors.
As the septa stiffen, they pull against the surface of the skin, creating the puckering and dimpling we call cellulite. Cellulite can happen to any woman at any age after puberty, and often has more to do with genetics than weight.
RESONIC and the RAP technology work through a process called "acoustic subcision,“ meaning sound waves break apart the bands that cause cellulite beneath the skin’s surface.
After being placed on the skin, the device emits high-frequency sound waves up to 50-100 times per second. These waves physically change the septa that contribute to cellulite, while also helping to restore smoothness to the skin.
RESONIC can offer patients effective cellulite smoothing with minimal discomfort.
