Do Slimming Treatments Really Work?

What is it?

Do you have tough areas of fat that just won’t go away? Love Handles? 

Our Lipo Contouring Slimming Treatments use Ultrasound Cavitation. It is a relatively new aesthetic treatment. Using leading edge technology it converts fat cells into liquid which can then be naturally drained by the body’s own natural filtration system. Generally one fat cavitation treatment lasts 25 – 30 minutes where a single part of the body is treated. 72 hours must pass between each session so that the body can eliminate the fat. The minimum suggested number of fat cavitation sessions is between 6 and 10. This treatment also utilizes a Radio Frequency treatment that tightens and firms skin. And, includes a vacuum treatment that helps expel fat through the lymphatic system. 

Which are the areas where treatment is more effective?

All those areas with localized fat: thighs, abdomen, flanks, and buttocks are the most popular but there is no real limitation as to areas of the body.  This treatment is great for both men and women!

How does Ultrasound Cavitation work?

Our therapist will apply a specially designed hand piece to your skin. The hand piece will then transmit low level ultrasonic waves which consist of compression – expansion impulses that travel in high-speed cycles. This back and forth cycle then causes an infinite quantity of micro-cavities or micro-bubbles that gradually enlarge. This progressive enlargement finishes as micro-bubbles start to collide and implode, producing shock waves that favor emulsification and elimination of fat tissues (this phenomena is called “cavitation”). The liquid is then easily vacuumed out from the body using the lymphatic and urinary system.

Is ultrasound cavitation painful?

No, cavitation 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. This treatment is a nonsurgical procedure without anesthesia – it’s non-invasive (no cutting, leaves no scars or the need for any post-operative course) and no downtime should be experienced after the treatment.

Can you lose weight with ultrasonic cavitation?

Cavitation is not a method to lose weight but to reshape the body. It is particularly indicated for the reduction of adiposity, the famous “love handles” that won’t go away with diet and exercise. Treatments remove cellulite preventing fat cells from recurring in the treated areas, without damaging the vascular system.

Fat is a solid substance right? How can it be eliminated through the urine?

Because ultrasound cavitation causes an emulsification of fat, converting it into a substance easy to eliminate through the urinary and the lymphatic system.

What do I need to do before my treatments?

We recommend a low calorie diet and drink at least 1.5 litres of water before and after the session. Drinking water is a necessary part in order to eliminate the fat. Regular exercise such as walking or other aerobic activities should also be maintained in order to help the system to naturally process the fat after the treatment.

Number of treatments and treatment frequency for each area?

• Ultrasound Cavitation: 6–10 treatments spaced 1-2 weeks apart per specific area. Due to the elimination process of the fat, it is recommended to focus on one treatment area per session.

Advantages over other treatments:

• Non invasive treatment
• No need for hospitalization nor anesthesia
• No scars nor long term marking of the skin
• Very little discomfort
• Elimination of the fat through a natural process
• 20-60 min per session
• Affordable

Preparation before each treatment:

Drink at least 1.5 to 2 litters of water a day a week before your treatment. Choose an area you wanted to treat and start moisturizing that area thoroughly everyday and at night. Hydration will help make the treatment a lot more successful.

Upon completion of your treatments we recommend one of our cactus toning massage treatments to help firm and tighten skin as well as to help stimulate healthy lymph flow and eliminate toxins in the body. The below review came from a client who had her abdomen treated.
