Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS THE ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION TREATMENT LIKE?

The procedure starts with circumference measurement of the target body area, applies the ultrasonic device directly to specific areas of the skin after a gel is applied, continues with circular movements of the applicator over the treatment site, for a Combo session a Radio Frequency hand piece is used which is slowly rotated over the targeted area, transmitting radio waves to the skin heating it 40 to 50 degrees Celsius without burning the skin surface. The heat causes contraction of the collagen fibers to immediately tighten the skin. Then finalized with another circumference measurement. The duration of treatment session normally takes around 15-20 minutes each depending on the size of the area and the thickness of the fat layer Results can sometimes be noticed after the first treatment with more improvement noticed within a few days. 6 – 10 sessions at 3 days intervals are recommended in order to achieve an ideal result, but further treatments may be needed to attain your desired figure.

HOW DOES IT FEEL DURING THE ULTRASONIC OR RF TREATMENT?

Most people feel the treatment is painless and comfortable. Some people may feel slight discomfort due to the specific noise spreading inside the body, but causes no, harm and disappears as soon as the applicator is moved away from body.

IS ULTRASOUND CAVITATION & RF SAFE? ARE THERE 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 ONE EXPECT WITH THE 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 15-20 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.

WHICH AREAS ARE SUITABLE FOR THE TREATMENT?

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.

CAN ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION 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” “Mummy tummy” . Ultrasonic cavitation can be considered a deep fat blaster that reduces stubborn fat cells that cannot be removed with exercise and diet alone

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ULTRASONIC FAT 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?

The ultrasound cavitation causes an emulsification of fat, it rupture 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.

DO I NEED TO FOLLOW ANY GUIDELINES BEFORE OR AFTER UNDERGOING ULTRASOUND FAT CAVITATION AND RF?

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, pop, 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 life style also helps the body flush out the fat more efficiently.

HOW MANY TIMES AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE THE TREATMENTS?

Ultrasound Cavitation: 6-10 sessions spaced 3 days apart for the first 3 sessions, then once a week.

Skin Tightening: 6-10 sessions spaced 3 days apart for the first 3 sessions, then once a week.

After the initial treatments are completed, maintenance treatments consist of one session each month for 4 months followed by one treatment every 4 months

EMS FOR POSTPARTUM PELVIC CARE

The benefits of EMS training for post-natal women

So, you know all about the general benefits of EMS training: it’s quick, safe and easy, it gets you a full body workout in just 20 minutes, and it’s gentle on your joints.

But what’s specifically beneficial about EMS training for new mums? The 3 key benefits are:

Strengthens your pelvic floor

Because EMS training targets deep muscle tissue, it can strengthen your pelvic floor quickly after giving birth, meaning a real reduction of postnatal pelvic floor weakness. The EMS suit electrically stimulates specific muscles in your legs, buttocks and stomach, which contract under the stimulus. The pelvic floor muscles are connected to these muscles, so they also contract. The EMS training system is a great way to strengthen your pelvic floor with just gentle bodyweight exercises.

Tones abdominal muscles quickly and safely

The abdominal muscles often suffer the most during pregnancy. Your abdominal muscles lengthen and separate over the course of your pregnancy – not to mention the pressure put on them during the birthing process. It’s important that you begin exercising your abs gently after pregnancy. Training too hard too quickly could lead to injury. The EMS program is a quick and safe way to train your abs. Because the system allows for a very gently ramping up of intensity, it’s the perfect way to get started training after pregnancy.

Super quick workout – only takes 20 minutes

If there’s one thing that new mums can never have enough of, it’s time! Luckily, an EMS workout only takes 20 minutes. Despite the short length, an EMS session actually offers a whole body workout. Because the suit can electrically activate muscles all across your body at one time, it makes it quicker and easier to get a whole body workout that really works.

EMS FOR NO SCAR BREAST LIFT

This non-invasive procedure will give you a lifted, rounded and natural breast lift without surgery or downtime

Ultrasound Cavitation treatments are procedures involving the use of a Ultrasound energy device to improve the firmness and the better contouring of the breast, while also creating toned smooth skin. This treatment is perfect for anyone looking for a shot of body confidence. Results are immediate after one session.

Ultrasound cavitation treatments can be used to help with several complaints:

· saggy breasts (due to normal weight changes or pregnancy)

· loose skin on breast

· reducing cellulite

· minimizing stretch marks

What does the procedure entail?

The Ultrasound energy heats the skin without damaging it as it breaks down fatty cells and stimulates collagen production. On account of the heating process, the skin will have a much tighter appearance while the subcutaneous layers would have changed in specific, durable ways. The tissues will receive a boost of blood flow and will start breaking down cellulite and fat stimulating collagen production. The reshaping and lifting of the breast and body is done simultaneously creating a shapely silhouette for immediate results! The fat type that causes both lumpy skin and a dimpled skin appearance will be broken down and redeposited naturally throughout the body via the lymphatic system.

How long will the procedure last?

Treatment time is roughly 45 minutes.

When will I see changes around my breast?

The differences with breast augmentation are discernibly visible right away.

Are there any side effects?

The treatment is very safe and has minimal downtime. The most common side effect is redness and/or headaches as well as potential bruising. Unruly thirst is just as common due to your body breaking down fat cells.

The breast lift is low invasive and can be done in conjunction with other aesthetic treatments such as Laser Hair Removal

Is it pain-free?

The procedure is virtually pain free. The only thing you may feel is heat.

How long will the results last?

The more sessions you have, the longer the results will last however on average breast lift can last up to 3 months.
