RSL Sculpting
Body Treatment in Dubai

Thighs and buttocks

This is where cellulite shows most and where most of the hour goes. Cellulite forms when fat pushes up between the fibrous bands that tie skin to the muscle underneath; the bands hold the skin down and the fat between them bulges out as a dimple. The rolling spheres press and release the tissue in rapid waves, mobilising the bands and moving the fluid that sits between the fat cells. Over a course the surface looks more even and feels firmer. The dimples are not removed; they are flattened while the tissue is drained and stimulated, and they return within about a month once sessions stop.

The outer thigh and the back of the thigh respond best. The inner thigh is more sensitive, so the practitioner works there at the lowest of the three pressure levels.

Abdomen and waist

On the abdomen the useful effect is drainage rather than cellulite. Bloating and a soft, puffy lower abdomen respond in the first session; a firmer, flatter feel is typical for a day or two afterwards. A layer of fat does not change. If a measurable fat pocket is your concern, Clatuu fat freezing removes fat cells and Tesla Former builds the muscle under it; RSL can run alongside either to keep swelling down.

Arms and back

Upper arms are treated for skin texture and heaviness, the back for muscle tension and fluid after long desk days. The manufacturer lists muscle tension and spasm relief among the indications, and the vibrating spheres do work like a deep mechanical massage across the shoulders and lower back. Ask for extra time here if that is your priority.

Heavy legs, ankles and fluid retention

Fluid retention is the fastest result RSL gives. Long flights, standing work, hot weather and the days before a period all leave fluid in the lower legs. One pass from ankle to hip moves that fluid towards the lymph nodes in the groin, and most people feel lighter legs the same evening. For this use you do not need a course: book a single session when you need it. If the swelling is sudden, painful or only on one side, that is a medical symptom and we ask you to see a doctor before any massage.

After surgery and after sport

Swelling after liposuction, a tummy tuck or a knee operation is a common reason to book a course, once your surgeon has cleared massage of the area. Advanced cellulite and post-surgery swelling are the two cases where the course runs to 12 or 15 sessions rather than 8. After hard training, a session moves the fluid that makes muscles feel heavy the next day; the manufacturer lists muscle recovery among its indications.

What the result looks like, session by session

After session one: lighter legs, a flatter lower abdomen and pink skin for a short while. After three to five sessions, two or three a week: skin on the thighs looks more even in good light. After 8 to 12: the visible change the manufacturer's case photos show, which is smoother texture and a tighter look, not a different body size. Photograph yourself before the first session in the same light, standing the same way, and compare after every four sessions. A tape measure fools you here, because water moves and returns; the photo does not.

RSL Sculpting and Endospheres

Both are roller devices with silicone spheres that press and vibrate the skin, and both are delivered by the same practitioners at our clinic. The Beautylizer RSL head carries 72 spheres in a honeycomb pattern with a 650 nm red LED between them and covers 140 square centimetres per pass, so a full body fits in about an hour. Endospheres is the Italian compressive-microvibration system, studied at the universities of Siena, Chieti and Naples, and has been our most booked body treatment for years: 865 Endospheres sessions in the past 12 months against 292 RSL sessions. In practice we send fluid-retention and full-body-in-an-hour requests to RSL, and long cellulite courses to whichever of the two has the free slot at the frequency you need. Our guide RSL Sculpting or Endospheres: how the treatments differ goes through it point by point.

RSL Sculpting and Icoone

Icoone is made by i-Tech Industries in Bologna and uses two small Roboderm micro-stimulation handpieces instead of one large roller. It is slower per area and more precise, which is why we use it on the face, the knees and small pockets on the arms. RSL is the faster option for a whole leg or the whole body. Many patients alternate: Icoone for the face and knees, RSL for legs and abdomen.

RSL Sculpting and pressotherapy

Pressotherapy inflates a suit in sequence from the feet upwards. It drains fluid well and needs no practitioner at the couch, but it does nothing for the fibrous bands of cellulite and cannot target one area. RSL drains and works the skin at the same time, area by area.

RSL Sculpting and manual lymphatic drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage is a light, slow hand technique that follows the lymph pathways; it is the right choice after lymph-node surgery or when the skin cannot take pressure. RSL applies far more mechanical energy, which is what cellulite needs and what a post-operative lymphatic patient should avoid until cleared.

RSL Sculpting, LDM, Clatuu and Tesla Former

LDM uses ultrasound rather than pressure and is the choice when the skin itself is loose and thin. Clatuu freezes and destroys fat cells; the AAD notes that cryolipolysis has no evidence for cellulite, so it treats the fat pocket, not the dimples. Tesla Former contracts muscle. A common plan for the thighs is Clatuu for the fat, RSL for the skin over it, and Tesla Former for tone, with RSL sessions between the others to keep swelling down.

The Beautylizer RSL device

The RSL is made by Robotic Therapeutics FZ-LLC in Dubai, and the manufacturer reports more than 700 devices in use worldwide. The handpiece has 72 hypoallergenic medical-grade silicone spheres, a 650 nm red LED that reaches 4 to 5 mm into the skin, a 140 square centimetre working surface and the Smart Touch system with three pressure levels and a real-time pressure display. The manufacturer's own claim is a treatment designed to avoid bruising and leave the skin undamaged. It uses no consumables, gel or single-use suit. Our unit is an original device from the official distributor and we can show you the paperwork.

Before your session

Drink a glass or two of water in the hour before; the treatment moves fluid, and hydrated tissue drains better. Come with clean skin and no oil or heavy body lotion, because the spheres need to grip the skin. Do not eat a heavy meal in the hour before an abdominal pass. Tell us about any new medicine, especially blood thinners, and about any surgery in the past three months.

After your session

Drink 1.5 to 2 litres of water over the rest of the day and walk for twenty minutes if you can; both help the lymph system clear what the session moved. For 24 hours avoid the sauna, hot tub and very hard leg training. There is no sun restriction. You can shower, work and drive straight away. Pinkness settles quickly; there is no peeling and nothing to apply.

Side effects

Expected: pink skin for a short while, a warm feeling in the treated area and more trips to the bathroom that day. Uncommon: tenderness the next day on the inner thigh or over a bony area, and a small bruise where the pressure level was too high for that spot, which is why we ask you to speak up during the session. The FDA lists redness, swelling, bruising, pain and numbness as the common side effects of non-invasive body contouring as a class; with a roller device the serious risks of heat- and cold-based devices, such as burns or fat growth after freezing, do not apply. Contact us the same day if you have marked pain, worsening swelling or a skin reaction you did not expect.

Who should not have RSL Sculpting

The manufacturer's contraindications, which we apply without exception, are haemophilia, pregnancy, acute infection, epilepsy, cancer in remission for less than five years, organ failure, extensive skin disease and varicose or fragile veins. We also postpone treatment for breastfeeding, fever, open wounds or dermatitis in the area, a history of deep vein thrombosis or current anticoagulant treatment, uncontrolled high blood pressure, an implanted electronic device near the area, uncontrolled diabetes with reduced skin sensation, and any surgery in the area until your surgeon clears massage. Sudden, painful or one-sided swelling is a reason to see a doctor, not to book. Our guide RSL Sculpting side effects and suitability has the full list with the reasons.
