BODY CONTOURING

FAQ's

What is Ultrasonic body cavitation?

Ultrasonic cavitation uses low frequency ultrasound waves to break down adipose tissue (a.k.a. fat). With the vibrations of the ultrasound waves being sent deep into your skin the fat cells are disrupted and dislodged from the dermal layers. As fat cells are permanently destroyed, they are disposed of within the body through your lymphatic, endocrine and excretory systems. Results are immediate but last longest when paired with healthy eating and exercise. The treatment is painless and comfortable. You will hear a slight ringing noise in your ear due to the ultrasound but causes no harm and disappears as soon as the applicator is moved away from body. You may also experience warmth during the treatment.

What is Radio Frequency?

Radio Frequency superficially heats the dermis and upper quarter layer of fat. This causes fibroblasts within your cell to boost collagen & elastin production to tighten and lift skin. Once the radio frequency reaches 40-45 degrees C it begins to eliminate fat cells which are then expelled through your bodies natural waste elimination process. If you have flabby skin, a post pregnancy tummy, fine lines or wrinkles, saddle bags or a sagging bum, radio frequency body contouring is meant for you.

What is Vacuum Therapy?

Vacuum Therapy is great as a stand-alone treatment for cellulite and for reducing small deposits of fat. The treatment leaves your skin immediately smoother and firmer. Vacuum Therapy is the number one body contouring accelerator.

What is Laser Lipo?

Laser Lipo is a non-surgical procedure using low photon laser energy to reduce fats in different parts of your body. These include your waist, back, abdomen, arms, chin and thighs.  Laser Lipo is a combination of the word liposuction and laser – adding to the already growing list of laser lipolysis treatment procedures. Laser Lipo allows you to attain your desired body contour and inch loss.

Who can have Body Contouring?

People who are generally healthy are safe to have the treatment. People with cardiac and vascular diseases, diabetes, acute illness, comprised liver function, severe bleeding tendencies, pacemaker carriers and women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or have an IUD should avoid undergoing the procedure

Is it painful?

Cavitation and RF is a painless treatment. Mild redness may appear occasionally but will be highly unlikely to cause any actual pain. The heat from the hand pieces felt during the treatment is perfectly tolerable.

Is it safe and any side effects?

Ultra-Cavitation is a safe, nonsurgical procedure without anesthesia, it is non-invasive, no cutting, no scars and no downtime should be experienced after the treatment. Due to specific ultrasound parameters of energy levels ensure selective damage to fat cells only and do not interfere with any other organs. There is no report of side effects for these treatments. However, some people may experience transient redness, excessive thirst, and nausea immediately after the treatment which always resolves by drinking water. They are all short-term effects that will disappear shortly

What can I expect for results?

The cavitation treatment yields immediate and long-lasting results. Ultra-cavitation is a very effective procedure that requires only 6-10 treatments consisting of 30-60 minutes each. Most of the clients experience noticeable circumference reduction after a single session with increasing results after each visit. The results may vary with different tissue structure, treatment area, age, metabolism, medications, and changes in hormones. Proper diet and increased physical activity will certainly improve and help to maintain the results.

What areas can I receive treatment on? 

Areas with localized fat such as thighs, abdomen, arms and buttocks where diet and exercise alone have not been able to get rid of are the most appropriate but there is no real limitation as to areas of the body.

Does this make me lose weight?

Cavitation is not a method to lose weight but to reshape the body. It is particularly indicated for the reduction of adiposity, like the famous “love handles” "Mommy tummy”.

What is the difference of Cavitation and Liposuction?

The Ultrasonic Cavitation has the similar result as liposuction. It removes cellulite and excess fat. preventing this from recurring in the treated areas, without damaging the vascular system. The procedure is painless and is very inexpensive compared to the thousands of dollars you could spend on liposuction.

How is the fat eliminated from the body? 

They cause an emulsification of fat, it ruptures fat cell membrane, thereby releasing its fat content, converting it into a substance easy to eliminate through sweat gland, liver sausage circulation, lymphatic system which eventually eliminate through urine and sweat.

How many treatments should I get?

6-10 sessions spaced 1 week apart depending on desired results. After the initial treatments are completed, monthly maintenance treatments are recommended

Do I need to follow any guidelines before or after?

-Try to avoid doing anything that will irritate your skin immediately before treatment. This includes tanning (natural or artificial). It would be more likely to suffer pain from the addition of heat to the already damaged skin; however an established tan would be fine.


-Do not have hot shower, bath or sauna right after the Ultrasound treatment.


-We recommend a low calorie diet with protein in each meal and drink at least a glass of warm water (not carbonated, sparkling water, soda, coffee) before and after the session. Drinking plenty of water and having exercise such as brisk walk, biking or other aerobic activities for at least 3 days after the treatment to stimulate the lymphatic activity as elimination of the fat continues through the Lymphatic System for 72hrs. Follow by a suitable exercise routine. Cavitation will be best performed under high hydration conditions, avoid taking any caffeine or diuretics 2 days before therapy. Drink a lot of water will help to improve your metabolism and increase urine output lipid metabolites release out of your body.


-A lymph-draining massage is also encouraged to improve the circulation and lymphatic system, which helps to drain fluids.


- For best results you should refrain from any alcohol consumption for 48 hours after the treatment. Alcohol consumption during this period may prevent your liver from removing the deactivated fat cells from your body (as the liver will assign priority to removing the alcohol from your blood). 


- Maintain an un-stressful lifestyle also helps the body flush out the fat more efficiently.
