Body Sculpting

How does non-invasive body sculpting work?

Non-invasive body sculpting uses various technologies to reduce fat cells and tighten skin without surgery. Depending on the specific treatment:

  • Ultrasonic cavitation creates tiny bubbles in fat cells that implode, breaking down fat that's naturally eliminated

  • Radio frequency heats deeper skin layers to stimulate collagen and tighten tissues

  • Wood therapy uses specialized tools to break up fat deposits and improve circulation

  • Vacuum therapy uses suction to stimulate muscles and enhance contours

How many body sculpting sessions will I need?

Most clients require 6-8 sessions for optimal results. However, many notice improvements after just 1-3 treatments. Your personalized treatment plan will recommend the ideal number of sessions based on your specific goals and body response. Maintenance sessions every 2-3 months help preserve and enhance your results.

Is there any downtime after body sculpting treatments?

There's no downtime with our non-invasive body sculpting treatments. You can immediately return to your normal activities. Some clients experience mild redness, temporary bloating, or slight sensitivity in the treated area, but these typically resolve within a few hours.

Who is an ideal candidate for body sculpting?

Ideal candidates are within 15-20 pounds of their goal weight looking to target specific areas resistant to diet and exercise. These treatments are not weight loss solutions but rather contouring procedures for stubborn fat deposits. They work best for those maintaining a healthy lifestyle with realistic expectations about results.

Can body sculpting help with cellulite?

Yes, many of our treatments specifically target cellulite, including our specialized anti-cellulite treatments, wood therapy, and radio frequency. These techniques improve circulation, break down fat deposits, and stimulate collagen production to smooth the skin's appearance. Most clients see noticeable improvement in cellulite after a series of treatments.

How long do body sculpting results last?

Results can last from 6 months to several years, depending on your lifestyle habits. To maintain optimal results, we recommend:

  • Staying hydrated (2+ liters of water daily)

  • Following a balanced diet

  • Regular physical activity

  • Maintenance sessions every 2-3 months

  • Following your specialist's aftercare recommendations

Post-Op Care

When should I start post-op drainage treatments?

Timing depends on your specific procedure and surgeon's recommendations:

  • Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): 48-72 hours post-surgery

  • Liposuction: 24-48 hours post-surgery

  • Tummy Tuck: 3-5 days post-surgery (with surgeon approval)

  • Facial Procedures: 3-5 days post-surgery (with surgeon approval)

    Always consult with your surgeon before beginning post-operative treatments.

How many post-op drainage sessions will I need?

Most surgeons recommend at least 5-10 manual lymphatic drainage sessions following body contouring surgeries. The exact number depends on your procedure, body's response, and healing progression. For optimal results, we recommend:

  • First week: 2-3 sessions

  • Weeks 2-3: 2 sessions per week

  • Weeks 4-6: 1 session per week

  • After 6 weeks: Maintenance as needed

Will post-op drainage treatments hurt?

Our post-operative care is gentle and designed for your comfort while in a sensitive healing state. You may feel some pressure during treatment, but it shouldn't be painful. We continuously adjust our techniques based on your feedback and comfort level. Many clients find these treatments relieving, as they help reduce swelling and discomfort from surgery.

Do I need to get approval from my surgeon?

Yes, we require surgeon approval for post-operative care. Most surgeons recommend lymphatic drainage as part of your recovery process, but timing and techniques may vary based on your specific procedure and healing progression. We're happy to communicate directly with your surgical team to ensure coordinated care.

How soon will I see results from post-op drainage?

Most clients notice an immediate reduction in swelling and discomfort after their first session. The full benefits develop progressively with each treatment as your body continues healing. Consistent sessions during the critical healing phase (first 6-8 weeks post-surgery) provide the best long-term results and can significantly improve your surgical outcome.

Skin Treatments

How do I know which skin treatment is right for me?

During your free consultation, we'll perform a thorough skin analysis to identify your specific concerns and goals. Based on this assessment, we'll recommend the most effective treatments for your skin type and condition. Factors we consider include skin type, sensitivity, concerns (aging, acne, texture, etc.), and your desired outcomes and timeline.

What results can I expect from LED light therapy?

LED light therapy provides different benefits depending on the wavelength used:

  • Blue light: Reduction in acne and breakouts by killing bacteria

  • Red light: Improved collagen production, reduced inflammation, and fine line minimization

  • Near-infrared: Enhanced healing, deeper penetration for cellular repair

Most clients notice improved skin tone and texture after 3-4 treatments, with progressive enhancement over a series of 6-8 sessions.

Can I combine different skin treatments?

Yes, combining complementary treatments often enhances results. Popular combinations include:

  • Customized facial + LED therapy for enhanced rejuvenation

  • RF facial + collagen-stimulating treatments for advanced anti-aging

  • Exfoliating treatments + hydrating therapies for balanced skin renewal

During your consultation, we'll recommend the most effective treatment combinations for your specific concerns.
