Pre and after treatment care advice:
It is important to understand that in order to achieve the desired results you need to follow some steps before and after treatment in fact as per any other type of massage therapy, Body Sculpting should be combined with a healthy lifestyle, therefore it is recommended to:
- Drink plenty of water before and after (at least 2 litres or more), this will help to flush out toxins and waste.
- Daily exercises (e.g. Long walking, Gym, Yoga, Pilates) to speed up the metabolism and burn fat
- Avoid sugary/salty food and fizzy drinks before and after treatment.
- Do NOT drink alcohol the night before your treatment.
- Reduce or eliminate tobacco, caffeine and alcohol intake.
- Do NOT have a heavy meal before your treatment
Ultrasound Cavitation RF
Ultrasound cavitation is a non-invasive technology that uses low-frequency ultrasonic waves and radio frequencies.
These waves form small bubbles around the adipose tissue under the skin which, as they increase in size, burn and promote the breakdown of fat cells.
The liquid eventually is expelled through the urine.
Ultrasound Cavitation RF can be performed as a single treatment or combined with wood therapy, Brazilian Body Sculpting and Low Laser Lipo Therapy (LLLT). These treatments offer a variety of benefits that include body and face contouring, skin tightening, cellulite reduction and inch loss.
How many sessions to see results?
Although the results are noticeable from the first session, you will need 8 to 10 sessions to achieve optimal and long-lasting results.
How often?
Sessions can be done at most once, every 7-10 days.
During this period, the lymphatic system will have time to remove the broken-down fat cells exposed to
ultrasound. This has a positive effect on metabolic processes, as well as reduces/eliminates oedema;
After a course of treatments to maintain the results, we recommend a biannual (6 months) follow-up course
of 1-3 treatments.
