FAQs
IS ULTRASOUND CAVITATION A SAFE PROCEDURE?
Yes, It is safe, comfortable, non-invasive procedure with no known side-effects. The ultrasound energy only targets the fatty tissue layer beneath the skin and does not affect the blood vessels, nerves, muscles or connective tissues.
IS ULTRASOUND CAVITATION PROCEDURE PAINFUL?
No, it is pain free. The only discomfort come from hearing a slight high pitched sound in your ears, which is simply the sound of the ultrasound waves resonating in your ears and the ultrasound head can sometimes get a little warm but never unbearable.
HOW LONG DOES THE BODY SCULPTING PROCEDURE TAKE?
The sessions will last from 20-60 minutes each.
IS THERE ANY SPECIAL CARE BEFORE OR AFTER TREATMENT?
Wear loose comfy clothes and a bra and underwear, a thong if your session involves your booty. The body continues to expel the liquefied fat cells through your lymphatic system and liver up to 72 hours after treatment. Drinking plenty of water helps speed up the process along with a light cardio session (20 min walk), lymphatic drainage supports, and liver supports. Limiting or preferably stopping your intake of alcohol and caffeine will render you the best results as caffeine slows your lymphatic system, and alcohol will take precedence over the liquified fat cells with your liver.
WHEN WILL I SEE THE RESULTS?
Immediately, that is what’s so amazing about the ultrasonic cavitation/RF. You may loose up to 2-3 inches after only one session!
DOES IT WORK ON CELLULITE?
Yes, cellulite is fat cells "swollen" and pushing their way through the facia layer of the body creating the lumpy look we all love to hate. With the combo of cavitation and radio frequency you are liquefying the fat cell and simultaneously tightening the skin leaving a much smoother appearance. For the extra stubborn cellulite the vacuum therapy is a great help to help move the fat and facia back in place.
HOW DOES RADIOFREQUENCY WORK?
Radiofrequency (RF) works by heating the dermal layer of the skin to create micro wounds that your body then rushes to heal creating new production of collagen and bringing back the tightness of our more youthful skin.
HOW DOES RADIOFREQUENCY TIGHTEN SKIN?
Compared to other skin tightening treatment, the major difference for RF is that the epidermis or outer skin layer is not damaged in any way but the radiofrequency energy heats the deeper skin layers during the treatment. The body’s natural wound healing response then causes collagen changes in the skin with resultant skin tightening. A series of these treatments is usually performed for optimum results.
WILL (RF) BE PAINFUL?
No, a thick barrier gel is used to keep the epidermis(outer layer of skin) cool and allows only the dermal layer to be effected by the RF.
WILL THERE BE SCARRING?
No, these procedures are non-invasive and cause zero scaring.
WHAT ARE TYPICAL EFFECTS THAT CAN OCCURE SHORT TERM?
Some clients may experience skin redness with RF. With cavitation we are liquifying fat cells, our fat cells hold toxins so a slight headache or symptoms of a detox are normal. Lots of water and an epsom salt bath the night of your treatment will help flush the toxins quicker. If necessary taking a advil or tylenol is ok to do with your discretion.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS ?
No surgery required, minimal discomfort, may be used on all skin types, rare downtime, non-invasive technique that can tighten facial or body skin, liquify fat and give you the extra help you desire.
