Ultrasonic or ultrasound cavitation is the use of ultrasound technology to break down fat cells below the skin. It is a non-surgical method of reducing cellulite and localized fat. This procedure involves applying pressure on the fat cells through ultrasonic vibrations. The pressure is high enough to make the fat cells break down into a liquid form. The body can then get rid of it as waste through your lymphatic system and urine.

Ultrasonic cavitation is not for people with heart disease, kidney or liver failure. It is not for those who are pregnant, and you must wait a minimum of three months after childbirth or at least six months after a C-section before having the treatment.

Radio Frequency skin tightening is an aesthetic technique that uses radio frequency energy to heat and tighten the skin. Radio frequencies are converted into heat energy, which penetrates deep into the skin to heat up the dermis to accelerate blood circulation, stimulate collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production and cell renewal in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines, loose skin, and cellulite.

As long as you are generally healthy and don't have any skin diseases or infections in the area(s) treated, there are a few medical reasons why patients should not undergo this treatment. 

Although there is no evidence that this treatment is harmful to pregnant women, you would generally be advised to wait until after you have given birth before embarking upon a course of treatment (three (3) - six (6) months after childbirth); wait six (6) months after a C-section.

People with herpes virus need to take their anti-viral medications before RF treatments since the heat produced could cause a possible flare-up.

People with electrical devices, e.g., pacemakers or metal implants in the treatment(s) area(s), cannot undergo treatment.

Patients who currently have cancer or have a history of cancer, especially skin cancer or pre-malignant moles, cannot undergo treatment.

Laser Lipo is a non-invasive, non-surgical alternative to traditional liposuction. The procedure relies on low-wave laser energy, rather than incisions, to reduce and eliminate fat from the body in a quick and effective manner. Laser Lipo enables your body to reduce fat on its own without surgical intervention. It gently heats fat cells until they die off in a process called apoptosis. Your body will then begin to eliminate fat cells through the lymphatic system, which can result in fat loss seen at least 12 weeks after treatment.

Laser Lipo is considered a safe procedure for many people. If you're looking for a way to get rid of excess fat, you may be a suitable candidate. Laser Lipo is typically used for removing fat from the stomach, face, thighs, calves, hips, and back areas. However, people with certain conditions are usually not considered good candidates for Laser Lipo. These conditions include acute diseases, infectious diseases, heart disease, pregnancy, and malignancy. 

Please keep in mind that this procedure is not meant to treat obesity.

WARNING:

PLEASE NOTE: You must be a healthy, qualified candidate to receive Laser Lipo treatments. You will NOT be considered a good candidate if you are pregnant or nursing if you have large metal implants near the treatment area(s), or if you have any serious medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes or high blood pressure, heart disease, liver or kidney failure, epilepsy, a pacemaker or other electronic devices, etc.

This is the one treatment that is not recommended for the abdomen when you are menstruating. The procedure works by using ultrasound to break apart fat deposits in your body, liquifying the fat cells and letting them absorb and disperse naturally in the body.

Ultrasound can increase the blood flow and is not recommended during your menstrual cycle as it can result in experiencing a much heavier period, which can be uncomfortable. The best time to schedule your appointment is after your menstrual cycle has finished. If you are in doubt as to whether you can receive treatments, please consult with your Physician first.

What is CryoSculpt Slimming/Toning?

CryoSculpt is a non-invasive treatment that uses cooling technology to destroy fat cells and boosts collagen production which breaks down cellulite, leaving you with smooth, dimple free skin.

Is it safe?

The device is very safe. In terms of programming and electronics, it is managed by a computerized Windows system. The cooling system is controlled by an electronic temperature sensor located in the processing head of the device and the temperature is controlled in real time by the machine and figures displayed on the screen. CryoSculpt was launched six (6) years ago and is used throughout Europe.

How does it work?

The session lasts for 20-40 minutes depending on the desired area. Cold temperatures are applied to the skin to reduce inches, smooth skin, and decrease fine lines and wrinkles.

What are the benefits?

The benefits are measurable inch loss and improved skin appearance. As with most techniques, the results vary from one individual to another, however 78% of our customers rate the service as good or excellent. Some results will be immediate, but we typically recommend about 5 sessions. 

How does it feel?

CryoSculpt is painless, with some clients describing it as rather pleasant.

Who would benefit from CryoSculpt?

How often can I do it?

CryoSculpt Slimming treatments can be performed once every 14 days and CryoToning and CryoSculpt Facial treatments can be performed every 3-7 days.

Can I have CryoSculpt treatment if I am pregnant?

Like any external treatment, this is not advisable as there is no data on the interactions. The safest option is to abstain from CryoSculpt treatments altogether.

How effective is CryoSculpt?

During our clinical study 100% of people saw an improvement in skin quality, 87.5% of people saw an improvement in body shape, 99% of people saw an improvement in belly fat. There was an average of 18.96% reduction in subcutaneous fat and an average of 1.85 inches lost around the waist. 88% of the people surveyed would engage in regular treatments.

Why can I only have a CryoSculpt treatment once every 2 weeks?

It takes an average of 2 weeks for your body to process most of the fat cell debris from your system, therefore the treatment is most effective and safe when there are 2 weeks in between each session.

Can I workout before and after my treatment?

Absolutely, there are no side effects to CryoSculpt that will stop you working out. However, sometimes working out can significantly raising your body temperature, therefore we recommend not working out prior to your treatment or at least 4 hours prior to your session for best results.

How quickly will I see results?

The first results are generally visible from the first session and often very encouraging. However, it should be noted that the best results appear from 15 days to 4 weeks after the start of session and extend for several months after the end of session.

How long will the results last?

Results will depend on the session, individual, and their lifestyle and diet. Slimming is permanent, but clients may still gain fat back in the treated area if they do not maintain a balanced lifestyle.

How can I enhance my results?

By implementing a healthy lifestyle and a good diet. 

Endospheres therapy is a non-invasive body treatment that uses low-frequency sound waves and a roller device to improve the appearance of the face and body. The roller has 55 silicon spheres that generate mechanical vibrations, which can:

• Reduce cellulite
• Tighten skin
• Improve muscle tone
• Reduce wrinkles
• Stimulate blood flow
• Improve oxygenation
• Increase collagen and elastin
• Relieve pain and inflammation 

Is it possible to have Endospheres Therapy done during my menstrual cycle?

Yes, it is possible if there are no painful sensations and copious discharge.

Why do I need to drink a lot of water after the procedure?

During the session, patients lose a lot of fluids. Therefore, it is recommended to restore your balance and drink a lot of water after each session.

Will Endospheres Therapy damage the skin, especially in its most sensitive areas?

The device was developed together with a Phlebologist. Therefore, all points related to the exposure to sensitive areas were taken into account. The device is smart and automatically determines the frequency (Hz) comfortable for the patient (for each area on the body).

Can Endospheres Therapy be performed on children?

Yes, it can be performed on children. For example, if your child plays sports, a machine massage can help relieve muscle tone or recover faster after an injury.

Vacuum therapy is a non-invasive procedure that increases circulation to the buttocks to "lift" your buttocks and make the skin appear smoother and firmer. This treatment can also break down fat tissue and cellulite and remove toxins from your muscles. Vacuum therapy uses suction and mechanical massage to temporarily make your buttocks look firmer and more toned.

Wood Therapy uses a number of different wooden massage-like tools to help break down fat and cellulite. The wooden instruments are used to apply direct pressure to "problem areas" and essentially naturally eliminate excess body fat.

Red Light Therapy, specifically, has the potential to assist in treating acne, reducing inflammation and pain, decreasing healing time after certain procedures, stimulating hair growth, and general skin rejuvenation.

We use an infrared sauna blanket, which helps you relax while getting an invigorating deep-tissue sweat, leaving you fully refreshed, rejuvenated & renewed. Unlike traditional saunas, an infrared sauna blanket provides a gentle, soothing therapeutic heat that promotes relaxation and improved sleep.

What is EMSculpt (Electrical Muscle Stimulator) EMS Therapy?

EMSculpt is the first aesthetic device to build muscle and sculpt your body. Through high-intensity electromagnetic therapy, one can firm and tone their muscles, resulting in a sculpted look. The EMS procedure treats your abdomen, buttocks, arms, calves, and thighs. Just 30 minutes on the abdomen is equivalent to 20,000 sit-ups. EMS is also a great non-surgical alternative to the Brazilian Butt Lift.

EMSculpt is based on high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy. A single EMS session feels like thousands of powerful muscle contractions, which are extremely important in improving the tone and strength of your muscles. These powerful induced muscle contractions are not achievable through voluntary contractions. The muscle tissue is forced to adapt to such extreme conditions. It responds with a deep remodeling of its inner structure that results in muscle building and sculpting your body.

Also known as V-Steaming, vaginal steaming involves squatting or sitting over a pot of hot, steaming water that is infused with herbs. A cape is wrapped around the entire body to prevent the steam from escaping.

How often you should do vaginal steaming depends on your goals, menstrual cycle, and other factors: 

• Frequency: For chronic or severe issues, you may need to steam up to three times a week. For less serious issues, you may only need to steam once a month. 
• Menstrual Cycle: You can steam three days before and after your period to prepare your body for your period and cleanse after it ends. 
• Fertility: You can steam two times between your menstrual cycle and ovulation to support your fertility journey. 
• Postpartum: You can steam twice a week for two weeks to help with the healing process. 
• Period Symptoms: You can steam two or three times a week before your period if you have severe period symptoms like bloating, discomfort, or painful cramps. 

You should consult with a doctor before vaginal steaming if you are pregnant or have a medical condition. You should also avoid vaginal steaming if you are menstruating, have open wounds, or have an active infection.  

Whole Body Vibration (WBV) is a form of treatment that has been shown to have an important role in increasing neuromuscular performance and improving muscular strength, balance, gait mechanics, and quality of life. The technique involves standing and holding positions or performing prescribed exercises on a platform, that is, vibrating at a programmed frequency, amplitude, and magnitude of oscillation.

WBV enhances bone-mineral density caused by osteoporosis and helps to improve strength and neuromuscular activation. It also helps to decrease pain and fatigue levels caused by fibromyalgia syndrome, improve postural control and functional mobility caused by multiple sclerosis, and to improve gait mechanics caused by Parkinson's disease. The benefits of WBV may also apply to pulmonary strength and body composition.

The Ionic Foot Bath Detox is a painless and efficient way to remove toxic accumulations from the body. The detox machine generates a mix of positive and negative ions, which attach themselves to the oppositely charged toxic particles and draws them out of the body through the pores of the feet. The result is a release of many different toxic materials; and, for many, a feeling of well-being and an increase in overall energy. 

The energy meridians are rebalanced through bio-charge. The complex energy fields of the unit permeate the water, realigning a body's energy field. This results in the purging of toxins and nucleic waste products within the cells and surrounding membrane. The water will have a dramatic change in color due to the reaction of the array and the saline water, but it is not the most important factor. What you notice after the session is the real test of how detoxification helps to bring your body into balance.
