Body Contouring
CAVITATION:
Cavitation is a non-invasive fat reduction treatment that uses ultrasound technology to reduce fat cells in targeted areas of the body. It is an option for anyone who does not want to undergo extreme treatments such as liposuction, as it is does not involve any needles or surgery. Cavitation has zero recovery time and is painless - often taking less than an hour. The session usually feels like a warm massage using a handheld device, and most cases you can see a visible reduction with every session in the treated area.
How does it work?
An ultrasound device is applied to the targeted area, along with a specially designed cream. This device transmits concentrated levels of ultrasonic energy that target and destroy subcutaneous fat cells. The fat is then dispersed into surrounding cells and recycled into proteins and glycerol.
What are the benefits of fat cavitation treatment?
Unlike liposuction (which can be a daunting and extreme option for many), cavitation is the perfect fat reduction treatment for those that do not want to take any excessive measures.
It is safe, non-surgical, and requires no recovery time.
Cavitation is also one of the only technologies available that can show you results as effective as those you expect from liposuction or surgery, provided you complete the recommended number of sessions (usually between 8-12) and incorporate post treatment diet and exercise.
RADIO FREQUENCY:
Radio Frequency is a revolutionary treatment that firms, tightens and lifts the skin, all without having to go under the knife. The treatment is non-invasive so it is ideal for those who either don’t want, or do not believe they are old enough for surgical procedures. Unlike other ‘non-surgical face-lift’ treatments on the market, radio frequency actually stimulates the skin’s own natural renewal of collagen, resulting in smoother, tighter and younger looking skin. And the best thing is – Radio Frequency delivers great, visible results from the very first treatment. The treatment is suitable for everybody, especially those looking to target fine lines and wrinkles or excess skin.
Radio Frequency is a relaxing treatment that involves the application of a cosmetic gel and a warm wand passing over the skin in sweeping circular motions. The wand gently heats the lower levels of the skin which triggers the brain into thinking there has been a potential injury and stimulates a healing response. This in turn causes increased collagen production and tightening of elastin fibres. The tightening of elastin fibres is instant meaning the skin appears tighter and lifted from the first treatment. The gentle heat also promotes fat cell reduction. A minimum course of 8 treatments is recommended for optimum results. Ideally this should be 2 treatments per week for 4 weeks. After completion of your course it is recommended to have a maintenance session every 4-6 weeks. You will continue to see results for up to 3 months after the treatment course has ended. This is perfectly normal as it can take the collagen time to reproduce.
