What is RF fat melting?
RF fat melting is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted radio frequency (RF) energy to shrink pockets of subcutaneous fat that don’t respond to diet, exercise or a healthy lifestyle. By gently heating the fat cells, this treatment helps refine body contours and support a more sculpted silhouette.
How it works
During a radio frequency fat melting session, heat is delivered into the skin using the PowerShape2™ device (ARTG No. 371472). This vacuum-assisted handpiece heats the collagen-rich dermis to above 60° C to disrupt the fat cell membrane. The targeted fat cells are naturally flushed out through the body’s liver and lymphatic system.
Additionally, the vacuum function boosts circulation to stimulate collagen production, while the low-level laser helps break down localised fat cells. Over time, this process can result in noticeable fat reduction and firmer-looking skin.
Benefits of RF fat melting treatments
RF body sculpting offers a flexible option with real results. Here’s why it becomes a go-to for non-surgical fat reduction:
Suitable for different areas
RF fat melting can treat a wide range of areas in the body, including more delicate regions like the jawline or under the chin.
Non-invasive and non-surgical
Sessions are quick and comfortable, with no needles, anaesthesia or incisions. Many clients describe the experience as relaxing, like a warm stone massage.
Custom treatment plans
RF fat melting is a highly personalised treatment that adapts to your unique shape and cosmetic goals. This means you get more precise results, exactly where you want them. Keep in mind that individual outcomes from RF body contouring vary. Your body composition, lifestyle and metabolism can all influence how your body responds.
Skin tightening and rejuvenation
Besides fat reduction, the heat generated by RF energy may help stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, which supports firmer-looking skin.
Fast and convenient appointments
A typical RF fat melting session takes less than an hour, making it easy to fit into a lunch break or any free moment in your day.
Can be combined with other treatments
RF fat melting can be paired with other body contouring treatments, like cryolipolysis, RF microneedling or HIFU for a more comprehensive approach to shaping and tightening.

RF fat melting is best suited for individuals who:
- Are in generally good health.
- Practise a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet.

RF fat melting vs other fat reduction treatments
RF fat melting is one of several non-surgical fat reduction treatments available at Elite Body Contouring. While all these treatments are non-invasive, they work in different ways to target and reshape the body:
- Fat Freezing (Cryolipolysis) — Uses controlled cooling to permanently destroy fat cells in targeted areas.
- LIPOcel Body Sculpting (ARTG no. 327874) — Delivers high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to destroy fat cells and address skin laxity.
For visibly smoother, firmer skin, your therapist may suggest combining RF fat melting with other treatments, including those listed above as well as our cellulite reduction options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does RF fat melting hurt?
Most clients find the treatment relaxing and painless. You may feel mild heat or tingling as the temperature increases, but with properly calibrated settings, the treatment should never feel uncomfortable or cause burning. Your therapist will monitor your comfort throughout the session.
How many sessions will I need?
Visible fat reduction may occur over a four to six-week period, in line with the body's natural collagen production cycle. To achieve the best outcome, our therapists may recommend a series of six to eight sessions.
What’s the cost?
The cost of RF fat melting varies based on your individual treatment plan and the number of sessions required.
Is there downtime?
RF body sculpting involves minimal to no downtime. Some clients may experience mild redness, swelling or sensitivity in the treated area, but these effects are temporary and usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days.
Preparation and aftercare matter to support healing and ensure a smooth experience. During your initial consultation, your therapist will explain what to expect before and after RF fat melting, so you can feel fully informed and confident in your treatment plan.
