BODY SCULPTING / CONTOURING

A controlled fat reduction and body contouring procedure. It’s a non-surgical treatment that safely removes stubborn fat deposits from the body. The procedure is recommended for men and women dealing with stubborn fat that has not responded to diet and exercise.

This is a process in which you will loose centimetres, and will notice it by the that amazing feeling of your clothes all of sudden feeling that bit looser on you. Your best results will be seen when you couple these treatments with a healthy diet and incorporating regular exercise.

Fat cells compromised by our fat reducing treatments become waste products.
The cells are disrupted and dislodged from the dermal layer and or are emptied of their content which  then gets processed by the lymphatic system and drained as waste from your body.
Can you say… “bye-bye fat!”

For best and lasting results a healthy and active lifestyle is recommended.

All the treatmens are brilliant in their own right. To find out which treatment would be best for you, pop on in for a consultation.  It is always best to first meet you in order to formulate a treatment plan uniquely specified to target the area(s) you may be struggling with.

Only thing required of you is to drink a lot of water before and after treatment to aid your body in flushing the cells – 3litres is advised.
A healthy lifestyle such as diet and exercise will go a long way in increasing your results.

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF SKIN TIGHTENING)

Radiofrequency (RF) therapy, also called radiofrequency skin tightening, is a nonsurgical method of tightening your skin.

The procedure involves using energy waves to heat the deep layer of your skin known as your dermis. This is capable of stimulating the existing dermal collagen and producing a contraction of the epidermis which in turn produces a tighter looking skin. When the RF current passes through the tissue / dermis, it produces slight friction which results in an intense temperature change therefore there is a collagen and elastin stimulation due to an activation of fibroblast cells.

Collagen is the most common protein in your body. It creates the framework of your skin and gives your skin its firmness.

The primary benefits of RF therapy are tightening your skin and getting rid of wrinkles.
However, RF therapy may also help fight sun damage due to its ability stimulate the production of collagen.
– Body contouring
– Face contouring( significant improvement in facial skin laxity).
– Wrinkles and fine lines

It’s is recommended for at least 4 treatments on the face and minimum 6 on the body however this may vary from person to person.

LIPO LASER

Lipo Laser is an amazing treatment if you are wanting to drop centimetres quickly. Coupled with healthy lifestyle changes, there have been clients that have dropped a whopping 11cm with regular treatments.

Not at all. It is non invasive, a relaxing treatment whereby you enjoy a feeling of warmth created by the lasers.

FAT FREEZE / CRYOLIPOLYSIS

Fat Freeze treatment is an non invasive treatment, so basically means to surgery no needles no down time. It targets pockets of fat, cools them to a chilly – 7 / – 8C.  And as fat cells are more susceptible to temperature than the other surrounding cells, they freeze and die off.  The crystallized cells go into your lymphatic system and your body flushes them out.
Cells once gone are gone for good.

We places a membrane over the skin of the area being treated protecting the skin from the cold.
The section treated gets sucked up in the applicator (or pod), you feel a tugging, some pins and needles type of feeling. There may be a slight discomfort but only lasts for a few minutes afterwhich the area goes numb. You relax for the remainder of the time, and when it’s done we massage the area and you are off.

Fat cells compromised by our fat reducing treatments become waste products.
The cells are disrupted and dislodged from the dermal layer and / or are emptied of their content which  then gets processed by the lymphatic system and drained as waste from your body.
Can you say… “bye-bye fat!”

This varies depending on the person and the area being treated. 
Per area recommend not more than 4 treatments depending on the thickness of the fatty layer.

3 to 4 week interval for the same area being treated with CRYOLIPOLYSIS.

ULTRASONIC CAVITATION

The machine sends out ultrasonic waves into the fat cells. This disrupts the cells and “vibrates” them until the cell membranes break down, liquefying and releasing the fat from the cells.

No pain at all. You will experience a buzz / ringing in your ears this may take some getting use to.
You may experience slight redness to the skin but this will not last and disappears soon after treatment.

ELECTRO MAGNETIC SCULPTING (EMSculpting)

The muscle mass created by EMSculpting treatments will likely last six months or longer if patients continue strength and conditioning exercises to build muscle.

EMSculpting does not cause pain or discomfort. Clients usually say they feel a “pulling” sensation. Our aestheticians will have total control of the treatment intensity, so clients are always treated at a level that is comfortable to them.
