Session:
From 20 minutes
Cycle:
6 sessions, one a week
It is a treatment room procedure with Exion®, a monopolar radiofrequency device: a head that heats the tissue deep down while the specialist controls the intensity. The result builds session by session.
We sometimes recommend it before liposuction to improve the result. And if you do not have much fat, it may be enough to refine your contour without surgery. It does not remove fat: the heat breaks down fat cells and your body then clears them.
Belly, waist, inner thighs, arms, buttocks or saddlebags. The heat works on those deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise.
After pregnancy, a change in weight or with age, skin loses tone. Radiofrequency stimulates your own collagen and elastin to restore firmness.
We aim for the skin in the treated area to look more even.
€150 per area. We can treat up to two areas in the same session. That is the final price.
To see the result you need the full cycle of 6 sessions, one a week: that is €900 per area (6 sessions at €150). After that, one maintenance session a month. Financing is available: ask us when you book.
You book with €50, which is always deducted from the treatment; if it costs less, we refund the difference. We ask for this deposit because treatment room places are limited.

No needles and no recovery time: your skin is left intact, with no marks or redness, and you get back to your routine right away.

The specialist looks at the area and suggests a session plan.

We use monopolar radiofrequency, which the specialist controls throughout the session.

It lets the head glide and transmits the heat better.

The specialist keeps the head moving over the area. You will feel a deep, pleasant warmth of up to 40 °C. A session lasts from 20 minutes per area; if we treat two, it takes twice as long.

Nothing stops you from carrying on with your day: you can sunbathe or go to the gym. Changes usually show from the fourth session, and the result of the cycle settles in over the 3 or 4 weeks after the last one.
It is for you if any of these sound familiar:
Not with diet or exercise. It is the most common reason people come to the treatment room.
The abdomen, flanks and inner thighs are the hardest areas to get back in shape. Once the postpartum period and breastfeeding are over, radiofrequency helps you regain tone and firmness.
And you do not want anything invasive.
Once the cycle is done, with one maintenance session a month.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device, have metal implants in the area (plates, prostheses or a copper IUD if we treat the lower abdomen), a skin injury or infection, or active cancer treatment. We do not treat minors either. If any of this applies to you, write to us before you book.
Eva Verdasco and Alicia Castro run the wellness treatment room. They assess the area, suggest a session plan and control the heat throughout the session.


At our Barcelona clinic: the wellness area is only here. If you are coming from elsewhere, we can arrange the 6 sessions as weekly visits.
€150 per area, and we can treat up to two in one session. The full 6-session cycle costs €900 per area, and financing is available. You book with €50, which is always deducted from the treatment; if it costs less, we refund the difference. We ask for this deposit because treatment room places are limited.
No. The IdB Wellness area operates only in Barcelona. At the Instituto de Benito Madrid center we offer other services. If you live outside Barcelona and want to do the Exion® cycle, we can plan the 6 sessions as weekly visits.
6 sessions, one a week. That is the schedule we follow for the treatment to work: radiofrequency acts on the fibroblasts growing in the basal layer of the skin, and since not all cells grow at the same time, we need weekly sessions to reach the ones that join the cycle each week. After that, one maintenance session a month.
No, it feels like a deep, pleasant warmth. The specialist adjusts the heat up to 40 °C. After the session your skin is left intact, with no marks or redness.
Yes. It is one of our most requested wellness treatments for belly, waist and thigh fat. The heat breaks down fat cells and your body then clears them. It does not remove fat the way liposuction does, and it is sometimes used before liposuction to improve the result.
No. Liposuction is surgery: it removes fat with a cannula and requires an operating room and recovery. Radiofrequency is a non-invasive treatment room procedure that works on localized fat and firms the skin. If you want to remove a lot of fat at once, liposuction is the right option; for small deposits and refining your contour, radiofrequency.
Yes. There are no restrictions. You can sunbathe the same day.
Yes, with no need to wait. Exercise boosts the feeling of well-being by getting your circulation going.
Yes, it can be done in summer or winter; the season does not affect the result.
Almost anyone, at any time of year. The cases in which we do not do it are listed at the end of "Is it for you?".
Most patients see results from the 4th session. The result of the full cycle settles in over the 3-4 weeks after the last session, because new collagen and elastin keep being produced.
The result is long-lasting; it is best to follow the specialist's advice and keep up a healthy lifestyle.
