Body Contouring

What is Body Contouring?

Body Contouring uses Ultrasound sound waves to break down & liquify stubborn fat cells in many areas on the body that don't respond well to diet or exercise. Sound waves are absorbed by fat cells, generating heat and causing a temporary weakening of the cell. This allows the body to carry these fat cells through to your lymphatic system where you will excrete them or sweat them out naturally.

There is a minimum effect of treating cellulite with this treatment. 

You can only treat up to 4x A5 areas in the body at a time in each session.

Benefits of Body Contouring:

Non-invasive, natural, painless, safe, fast, immediate!

How often can I get it done?

For the BEST results & for results to last, you must leave a minimum or 72 hours and a maximum of 1 week between treatments. Maintenance treatments are recommended for ongoing results (See guide below)

Body contouring is best performed in a treatment course of 6-10 sessions

How often do I need to perform Body Contouring after all sessions have finished?

Initially, a course of 6-10 treatments are recommended to achieve the best results. These should be done 72 hours to a week apart, no longer than a week. (If performed with Skin Tightening, this must be done 1 week apart)

Maintenance treatments should be performed for continuous results. Please follow the guide below for maintenance treatments:
