FAQ Lysiwave

Lysiwave is an innovative system capable of carrying out body contouring treatments, using microwaves at a frequency of 2,45 GHz. This specific frequency acts selectively on body tissue defects such as cellulite, localised adiposity and skin laxity.

The microwaves are absorbed by the fluids of the cellular interstitium and by the adipocytes and cause a rise in temperature, either at depth or at the surface, depending on the case and the type of imperfection. A constant flow of cold air, enriched with 90% oxygen, not only protects the skin on the surface during the emission of microwaves, but also tones and oxygenates the tissues, which appear significantly smoother and more homogeneous. The procedure has a slimming, regenerating and toning effect, acting on specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, arms and, in some cases, under the chin, where localized adiposities are usually formed. In addition to melting excess fat, it compacts and reshapes the skin by firming the tissues.

This method is a more effective variation of radiofrequency treatment for skin tightening and toning, but it is also an excellent alternative to other body contouring treatments such as liposuction.

Lysiwave, being a medical device, can only be found in medical aesthetic centres that are authorised and properly trained in the use of the technology like the Temple Skincare & Spa. Our Specialists, after a thorough examination, will explain the procedure and the results you can achieve.

Temple Skincare & Spa is one of only two other clinics in the country authorised to perform Lysiwave treatments.

The handpiece, selected according to the characteristics of the area to be treated, emits microwaves at 2,45 GHz which are gradually absorbed by the fat cells. Twenty percent of the energy reaches the dermis, while the remaining 80% penetrates the fat, thereby affecting the subcutaneous fat cells. The flow of oxygen in the gaseous state, directed to the skin, is able to restore and improve microcirculation and reactivate the skin's metabolism, which can be altered by normal aging processes, pollution, exposure to the sun (or artificial UV rays) and stress.

1. It penetrates deeply by acting on the membranes of fat cells and promoting the release of localised fatty deposits. The lysate, that is to say the product of the dissolution of bacterial or tissue cells, is eliminated by natural cellular metabolism, that is to say lipolysis;

2. It stimulates the connective tissue around the adipose lobules of cellulite, to counter the dreaded orange peel effect characteristic of cellulite;

3. It promotes the contraction of collagen fibers in the dermis, thus initiating the production of new collagen for fresher and more elastic skin and making the tissues firmer and more toned.

• Reduction of cellulite and the “orange peel” effect.
• Elimination of localized fat deposits.
• Firming the skin and stimulating collagen fibers in the dermis, which increases its elasticity.
• Helps to reshape the silhouette.
