QuantumRF10/QuantumRF 25

It is common after weight loss to still notice pockets of fat in areas like the stomach, waist, and under the chin. These areas can also have laxity that cannot be treated through a healthy diet. Not everyone wants to commit to extensive surgery, especially for more moderate concerns, and many of our patients also prefer fewer treatment sessions. QuantumRF 10 and QuantumRF 25 reduce stubborn fat and improve skin firmness in a single treatment. It is a minimally invasive procedure with a fast recovery, and the two device options allow us to customize the procedure more precisely for you. At South Bay Aesthetics Plastic Surgery Center in Torrance, CA, we provide this option for patients who want results without a long downtime or multiple sessions.

What Is QuantumRF?

QuantumRF is a body contouring treatment that combines fat reduction and skin tightening in a single session. The treatment uses radiofrequency energy administered through a tiny incision to heat targeted tissue, which can reduce stubborn fat and stimulate collagen for firmer skin. It is a nonsurgical option that addresses two concerns at once.

How QuantumRF Works

QuantumRF delivers bipolar radiofrequency energy into the treatment area, creating uniform heat that breaks down fat cells and stimulates natural collagen remodeling. The thermal effect provides immediate contraction of existing collagen and also encourages the body to produce new collagen.

QuantumRF 10 vs. QuantumRF 25

  • QuantumRF 10 has a shorter probe and targets smaller treatment areas. It is often used where precision is important, such as the arms, bra line, or areas of the abdomen with localized fat.
  • QuantumRF 25 is longer and is used for larger treatment areas. It can cover broader zones like the full abdomen, thighs, or flanks.

What Can We Treat With QuantumRF?

Sagging Along the Jawline

The jawline can lose definition as skin becomes looser and fat begins to shift with age. Lifestyle factors, genetics, and repeated facial movements can make sagging in this area more noticeable. QuantumRF provides targeted skin tightening, reducing excess fat while encouraging new collagen production so the jawline looks defined and firm.

Loose Skin on the Abdomen, Arms, or Thighs

Weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and natural changes in tissue can lead to loose skin on larger areas of the body. The abdomen, upper arms, and thighs are especially prone to this concern, and excess fat and tissue can even cause friction and irritation. QuantumRF can be used to treat just one of these areas or multiple during a single appointment.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Repeated facial expressions and a decrease in natural collagen lead to fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead. Environmental exposure, including sun and pollution, can speed this process and make wrinkles appear sooner. QuantumRF can smooth lines and wrinkles by tightening the tissues and improving the overall texture of the skin.

Post-Weight Loss and Post-Pregnancy Skin Laxity

Significant weight loss or pregnancy can leave stretched skin that does not naturally return to its previous state. The skin may appear loose, especially in the abdominal area, even after reaching a stable weight. QuantumRF helps give the skin better support and a tighter appearance.

What Are the Benefits of QuantumRF?

  • Minimally Invasive Alternative to Surgery: QuantumRF involves only a tiny incision and local numbing, which makes it far less invasive than a traditional surgical procedure. You can achieve fat reduction and RF skin tightening in one treatment without the scars or recovery of invasive surgery.
  • Precise Treatments for Small and Large Areas: The technology allows us to customize the session depending on the size of the area being treated. The QuantumRF 10 handpiece can be used to refine delicate zones, while the QuantumRF 25 device covers broader regions.
  • Promotes Long-Term Skin Renewal: The heat created by the treatment stimulates natural collagen and elastin production, and those fibers continue to develop for months after your session. The process of radio frequency skin tightening supports gradual improvements in skin tone and texture for results that continue to evolve well after the appointment.
  • Shorter Downtime: Most people return to their regular routines quickly because QuantumRF is easy to fit into a busy schedule. While recovery steps are still important, the downtime is far shorter compared to traditional surgical approaches that require weeks of rest.

Walking You Through Your First QuantumRF Treatment

Consultation

Your first step with QuantumRF involves a consultation where we evaluate your areas of concern and determine if the treatment is the right fit. We will review your health history, discuss past treatments, and talk through your goals for reducing fat or improving skin firmness. We will take photos to track your progress, and you will have the opportunity to ask questions about every step of the process.

Preparation

Preparation for your appointment is simple, and you will not need to make extensive changes beforehand. We will ask you to arrive with clean skin free of lotions, oils, or makeup in the treatment area. Make sure to stay hydrated and maintain good overall health because this supports skin elasticity and helps your body respond well. We may provide additional guidance based on your situation, especially if you have specific concerns such as recent weight changes or sensitive skin.

During the Procedure

We begin the treatment by applying local anesthesia to numb the entire treatment area. Once you are numb, we create a very small incision in a discreet location, such as the belly button or another natural crease, and insert the QuantumRF device through that entry point. We move the handpiece slowly through the treatment area while controlled radiofrequency pulses target fat cells and heat the surrounding tissue to stimulate collagen production. Treatment time varies depending on the size of the area.

After the Treatment

You may notice some flushing or mild swelling in the treated area, and you may be sore while your body heals. With this treatment, you can go back to work and your other usual activities the next day. You will start to see improvements in firmness and contour as your body processes the treated fat cells and forms new collagen. We may recommend a follow-up visit in some cases.

Recovery and Aftercare

After your QuantumRF treatment, we will show you how to keep your incision sites clean and protected as they heal. You will want to take it easy for the first few days, avoiding heavy lifting or intense workouts while your body adjusts. We may provide a compression garment, and wearing it as directed can make you more comfortable and help support the treated area as it settles. Make sure to stay well-hydrated, eat healthy foods, and protect your skin from the sun to maintain results.

A Timeline of Results

  • Immediately After Your Treatment: You may notice that the treated area feels warm or slightly firm, and mild swelling can make the skin look fuller than usual. These short-term changes are part of the normal response as your body begins the healing process.
  • 1–3 Months After Your Treatment: Your body gradually processes the treated fat cells, and collagen production becomes more active, which gives the skin better support. Contours start to look smoother and tighter, and the treated area begins to show a more refined appearance.
  • 6+ Months After Your Treatment: Collagen has continued, and your body has completed the natural healing process. The treated zone appears slimmer and firmer, and you will see your full results.

How QuantumRF Compares to Other Treatments

Surgical Facelift and Neck Lift

A facelift or neck lift can create dramatic results, but those procedures involve general anesthesia, visible scars, and a long recovery period. We offer both because we can provide services to those who want more extensive fat and tissue removal, and those with moderate concerns and a desire for less downtime. The results of QuantumRF will not match the level of lifting achieved through a surgical approach, but the treatment can provide noticeable results for the right patient.

Non-Invasive RF or Ultrasound Treatments

Completely non-invasive treatments like surface-level RF or ultrasound can provide mild improvements in skin tone, but may require multiple sessions for similar results. QuantumRF works beneath the surface, so the results of one session are more comprehensive. This treatment can provide up to 25% skin tightening and fat reduction in one treatment.

Fillers or Botox®

Injectables like fillers and Botox address facial lines, wrinkles, or volume loss, but they do not reduce fat or tighten skin. Fillers restore volume to hollow areas, while Botox relaxes muscles to soften lines, and they can be good for those who want more temporary results. QuantumRF focuses on the quality of the skin and provides structural improvements that last longer than injectable treatments. We use injectables for facial refinement while relying on QuantumRF for reshaping and tightening.
Frequently Asked Questions About QuantumRF

Results from QuantumRF can be long-lasting, although the natural aging process continues to affect skin and tissue. Remember that, while the fat cells that are broken down by QuantfumRF will not return, any remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle will support the longevity of your outcome.

The treatment involves only local numbing, so you will not feel pain during the appointment. You may feel pressure or tugging as the device is inserted and moved through the tissue. We will talk to you throughout your procedure to make sure you are comfortable and that there is no tenderness.

The incisions used are extremely small and placed where they will not be seen. They generally heal well and are often barely noticeable once recovery is complete. Proper aftercare, like keeping the incisions out of the sun, helps minimize any visibility further.

QuantumRF can be used alongside other aesthetic treatments, depending on your goals. Some people choose to combine facial QuantumRF treatments with injectables, laser treatments, or photofacials to address laxity and surface concerns like hyperpigmentation and fine lines. It can also be used alongside surgical procedures. We will talk about all of your options and make sure your treatment plan is right for you.
