Body Contouring
Body contouring is a non invasive, surgical and pain free treatment used to help reduce stubborn fat and tighten the skin. Body contouring is a combination of ultrasonic fat cavitation and radio frequency skin tightening.
Body contouring can target most areas of the body including; arms, back, tummy, love handles, neck, chin, thighs and bum. This method of treatment is used along with other weight loss programs to help with getting rid of excessive and stubborn fat. It is a preferred method to other invasive procedures of eliminating body fat.
Fat Cavitation
Fat cavitation also called ultrasound cavitation is a type of body contouring treatment that eliminates unwanted fatty deposits that don’t respond to diet and exercise. These stubborn areas are exposed to low frequency sound waves which dissolve the fat cells using heat and vibration. Ultrasound cavitation involves applying pressure on fat cells through ultrasonic vibration, turning these fat cells into liquid which is then drained by the body’s own filtration system.
Radio Frequency RF Therapy
Radio frequency (RF) therapy, also known as radio frequency skin tightening is a non surgical method of tightening your skin. This procedure involves using energy waves to heat the deep layer of your skin known as the ‘dermis’. This heat stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen is the most common protein in your body, it creates the framework of your skin and gives your skin its firmness. RF can be used in conjunction with fat cavitation to aid in further fat breakdown and tighten the skin where cavitation has taken place.
Cellulite reduction & RF
By applying intensive heat on collagen and fat cells, radio frequency helps increase skin tightness, reduce fat and boost circulation, thereby improving the contour and texture of the body. The suction in these cellulite reduction heads also help to break up the tough bands that cause us to see cellulite.
FAQs
Is there anything I need to do to help maximize the results before and after my treatment?
Yes! You need to make sure to drink 2L of water 24 hours prior to treatment and at least 1L of water 1-3 hours before so the body is properly hydrated. Continue to drink another 2L of water for the rest of the day and at least 2L of water daily for the next 3 days post treatment to help eliminate the liquified fat. Ensure not to eat a large, heavy meal right before treatment, consuming foods low in fats, sugars & carbs will maximize your results. Elevating your heart rate for a minimum of 20 min is also advised straight after treatment. Dry brushing / moisturizing your skin is also advised before and after treatment.
Is it safe and does it hurt?
Yes it is safe. Body contouring is a a non surgical & non invasive procedure without the use of anesthesia, there is also no downtime needed after treatments. Treatments are pain free; however warmth and slight pressure will be experienced.
How many treatments do I need?
Both fat cavitation & skin tightening treatments need approx 6-10 treatments spaced out between 1-2 weeks apart for maximum results. Individual results may vary.
Can anyone get it done?
Unfortunately not everyone, I will be treating clients that are 18+, clients who are between the ages of 16-18 must have a parent / guardian consent and must be with them throughout the treatment process. There are some additional reasons that clients may not be the best candidate for body contouring which will be evaluated when booking.
