Contouring

FAQs

Are the results similar to a surgical liposuction?

Yes, but because the procedures are non-invasive and work with your body’s natural elimination and detoxification processes, results are not as immediate as surgical liposuction. Fat is removed gently without harming the vascular system and without post-operative symptoms such as scarring and pain.

Is Ultrasound Body Cavitation painful?

Not at all! Most clients consider the procedure painless and comfortable. During the treatment you will feel a soothing heat in the targeted area. A little ‘blushing’ or reddening of the skin during and directly after the treatment is normal.

Are Fat Cavitation and RF Skin Tightening treatments safe?

Yes, it’s a non surgical procedure, without anesthesia, non-invasive, and allows you to carry on with your social life before and after the sessions. There is no down time! You can even have this in your lunch break and go back to work.

Is it possible to lose weight with ultrasonic cavitation?

Because you are reducing fat deposits, you may experience some loss in weight, but ultrasound body cavitation itself is not a weight loss treatment. It is however, very successful in targeting specific areas of fat that you want to reduce. It is great for sculpting your figure and enhances your silhouette by reducing stubborn pockets of fat without the need for invasive surgery such as surgical liposuction. This is why we call it “non-surgical liposuction”.

Who is a good candidate for body contouring?

A good candidate is someone looking for fat removal from a specific area such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, legs, buttocks, flanks or arms. The treatment does not necessarily result in overall weight loss, but results in improved shape, contour and size reduction in the treatment area. If you are currently following a healthy diet or a good weight loss plan, results will be more significant and weight loss will more likely occur. Great results can be obtained for those who have up to 25-30 pounds or less to lose. Ultrasonic Cavitation is ideal for those who have tried to shift the stubborn fatty bulges with diet or exercise and are aiming for a smoother and more balanced shape. Ultrasonic Cavitation “Liposuction” body contouring is not a treatment for morbid obesity nor is it a weight loss solution. A no obligation consultation will determine whether you are a good candidate for these procedures.

How much time should pass between sessions?

The ideal time is a week apart and no closer than four days apart. Your body needs time to metabolise and excrete fats and waste after each session.

When will I see results?

Most clients experience a reduction in circumference after the first session, with increasing results after each visit but especially after the third treatment onwards. The results may vary from person to person with a different tissue structure, treatment area, age, metabolism, medications and changes in hormones. Proper diet, adequate water intake and increased physical activity will certainly improve and help to maintain your results. Results will continue to improve for several weeks following the last treatment session. You will continue to metabolise fat for up to 12 weeks, which means that, as most people do not make new fat cells later in life, the loss can be permanent. This procedure will also leave you with firmer, smoother skin than before, due to the inclusion of Radio Frequency Therapy which encourages the fibroblasts within the skin to produce collagen.

How many Body Contouring sessions are needed?

Between 3 and 12 sessions may be required. This depends on body mass and circumference size, age, hormonal balance, medications and your desired goals. Incorporating the eating suggestions included in your program will reduce the number of treatments that may be needed. Maintenance treatments are recommended after your initial sessions. We recommend monthly treatments for four treatments, then you can move onto every four months to maintain your new shape.

Can I drink alcohol?

To achieve the best results, it is recommended to refrain from any alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours, (preferably 2-3 days) following your treatments. Alcohol can prevent your liver from working to remove fats as it will make alcohol metabolism its priority before fat removal and could hinder your results. Alcohol is treated like sugar and your body will convert it into FAT!

What treatments are provided in a body contouring treatment?

Our body contouring packages include Fat Cavitation, RF Skin Tightening, Vacuum Therapy and Electrical Muscle Stimulation to get the best results possible for you. You can choose whether to purchase individual treatments or body sculpting packages.

What is RF Skin Tightening?

Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Tightening is an effective treatment for addressing skin laxity on the face and body and is commonly used for non-surgical face and body lifts such as under eye bags, neck, jowls, buttocks, décolleté firming and postnatal tummy tightening. During an RF Skin Tightening treatment the temperature in the sub dermal layers of the skin increases, causing shortening (tightening) of the collagen fibres and stimulating new collagen development. This treatment requires no downtime and results can be immediately noticeable, becoming even more so in the weeks following the treatment. RF Skin Tightening may be performed as a stand alone treatment offering skin tightening results or combined with ultrasound fat cavitation to aid further fat breakdown and tighten the skin in the area where the cavitation treatment has taken place.
