WHAT IS THE ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION TREATMENT LIKE?
The procedure starts with circumference measurement of the target body area, applies the ultrasonic device directly to specific areas of the skin after a gel is applied, continues with circular movements of the applicator over the treatment site, for a Combo session a Radio Frequency hand piece is used which is slowly rotated over the targeted area, transmitting radio waves to the skin heating it 40 to 50 degrees Celsius without burning the skin surface. The heat causes contraction of the collagen fibers to immediately tighten the skin. Then finalized with another circumference measurement. The duration of treatment session normally takes around 15-20 minutes each depending on the size of the area and the thickness of the fat layer Results can sometimes be noticed after the first treatment with more improvement noticed within a few days. 6 – 10 sessions at 3 days intervals are recommended in order to achieve an ideal result, but further treatments may be needed to attain your desired figure.
HOW DOES IT FEEL DURING THE ULTRASONIC OR RF TREATMENT?
Most people feel the treatment is painless and comfortable. Some people may feel slight discomfort due to the specific noise spreading inside the body, but causes no, harm and disappears as soon as the applicator is moved away from body. You may also experience warmth during the treatment. If on the slim chance it gets too warm you can request, immediately some extra ultrasound gel to be applied.
WHAT CAN BE TREATED WITH RADIO FREQUENCY(RF)?
RF is a effective way to improve skin tightness and elasticity, reduce wrinkles and cellulite, boosting the overall condition on areas of the body such as the face, chin, upper arm, abdomen, thighs, bra line or buttocks.
WHO CAN HAVE ULTRASOUND AND RF TREATMENTS?
People who are generally healthy are safe to have the treatment. People with cardiac and vascular diseases, diabetes, acute illness, comprised liver function, severe bleeding tendencies, pacemaker carriers and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid undergoing the procedure.
IS ULTRASOUND CAVITATION & RF PAINFUL?
Cavitation and RF is a painless treatment. Mild redness may appear occasionally but will be highly unlikely to cause any actual pain. The heat from the hand pieces felt during the treatment is perfectly tolerable.
IS ULTRASOUND CAVITATION & RF SAFE? ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
Ultrasound Cavitation is a safe, nonsurgical procedure without anesthesia, it is non-invasive ,no cutting, no scars and no downtime should be experienced after the treatment. Due to specific ultrasound parameters of energy levels ensure selective damage to fat cells only and do not interfere with any other organs. There is no report of side effects for these treatments. However some people may experience transient redness or, excessive thirst immediately after the treatment which always resolves by drinking water. They are all short-term effects that will disappear shortly.
WHAT CAN ONE EXPECT WITH THE RESULTS?
The cavitation treatment yields immediate and long lasting results. Ultrasound cavitation is a very effective procedure that requires only 6-10 treatments consisting of 15-20 minutes each. Most of the clients experience noticeable circumference reduction after a single session with increasing results after each visit. The results may vary with different tissue structure, treatment area, age, metabolism, medications, and changes in hormones. Proper diet and increased physical activity will certainly improve and help to maintain the results.
WHICH AREAS ARE SUITABLE FOR THE TREATMENT?
Areas with localized fat such as thighs, abdomen, arms and buttocks where diet and exercise alone have not been able to get rid of are the most appropriate but there is no real limitation as to areas of the body.
CAN ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION LOSE WEIGHT?
Cavitation is not a method to lose weight but to reshape the body. It is particularly indicated for the reduction of adiposity, like the famous “love handles” “Mommy tummy” . Ultrasonic cavitation can be considered a deep fat blaster that reduces stubborn fat cells that cannot be removed with exercise and diet alone. You will have a noticeable inch loss.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ULTRASONIC FAT CAVITATION AND LIPOSUCTION?
The Ultrasonic Cavitation has the similar result as liposuction. It removes cellulite and excess fat. preventing this from recurring in the treated areas, without damaging the vascular system. The procedure is painless and is very inexpensive compared to the thousands of dollars you could spend on liposuction.
HOW IS THE FAT ELIMINATED FROM THE BODY?
The ultrasound cavitation causes an emulsification of fat, it ruptures fat cell membranes, thereby releasing it’s fat content, converting it into a substance easy to eliminate through sweat glands, liver circulation, and lymphatic system which eventually eliminate through urine.
DO I NEED TO FOLLOW ANY GUIDELINES BEFORE OR AFTER UNDERGOING ULTRASOUND FAT CAVITATION AND RF?
Try to avoid doing anything that will irritate your skin immediately before treatment. This includes tanning (natural or artificial). It would be more likely to suffer pain from the addition of heat to the already damaged skin; however an established tan would be fine.
We recommend a low calorie diet with protein in each meal and drink at least a glass of warm water (not carbonated, sparkling water, pop, coffee) before and after the session. Drinking plenty of water and having exercise such as brisk walk, biking or other aerobic activities for at least 3 days after the treatment to stimulate the lymphatic activity as elimination of the fat continues through the Lymphatic System for 72hrs. Follow by a suitable exercise routine. Cavitation will be best performed under high hydration conditions, avoid taking any caffeine or diuretics 2 days before therapy. Drink a lot of water will help to improve your metabolism and increase urine output — lipid metabolites release out of your body.
A lymph-draining massage is also encouraged to improve the circulation and lymphatic system, which helps to drain fluids.
For best results you should refrain from any alcohol consumption for 48 hours after the treatment. Alcohol consumption during this period may prevent your liver from removing the deactivated fat cells from your body (as the liver will assign priority to removing the alcohol from your blood).
Maintain an un-stressful life style also helps the body flush out the fat more efficiently.
HOW MANY TIMES AND HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE THE TREATMENTS?
Ultrasound Cavitation: 6-12 sessions spaced 2-3 days apart for the first 3 sessions, then once a week.
Skin Tightening: 6-12 sessions spaced 2-3 days apart for the first 3 sessions, then once a week.
After the initial treatments are completed, maintenance treatments consist of one session each month for 4 months followed by one treatment every 4 months.
WHAT IS VACUUM THERAPY?
Vacuum Therapy is great as a stand-alone treatment for cellulite and for reducing small deposits of fat. The treatment leaves your skin immediately smoother and firmer. Vacuum Therapy is the number one body contouring accelerator.
WHAT IS NON INVASIVE LASER LIPO?
Lipo Laser is a non-surgical procedure using laser beams to reduce fats in different parts of your body. These include your waist, back, abdomen, arms, chin and thighs. Lipo Laser is a combination of the word liposuction and laser – adding to the already growing list of laser lipolysis treatment procedures. Lipo Laser allows you to attain your desired body contour and inch loss and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
WHAT IS WOOD THERAPY?
Maderoterapia otherwise known as “Wood Therapy” is growing hot trend that can sculpt the body you’ve always wanted. Wood Sculpting tools are made specifically to manipulate and restructure fatty tissues, loosen tight and tired muscles and smooth out cellulite naturally. Trained therapists use a series of repetitive movements to speed up metabolism and sculpt and tone the body. The method involves bringing circulation to target areas with applied smoothing deep pressure and movements that lead to rapid break-down of fat and cellulite. Stimulates such things as metabolism and lymphatic drainage. Great for Pre and Post Lyposuction!

What is it? How does it work?
EMSlim Neo is an FDA cleared HI-EMT(highly focused electromagnetic energy) and RF (radio frequency) device that not only burns fat, but also builds muscle. In one 30 minute session this machine will cause your body to complete 20,000 muscle contractions (i.e 20,000 sit ups or 20,000 squats) that improve the tone and strength of your muscles. The focused electromagnetic field can pass through all the layers of the skin and fat to stimulate all four layers of muscle to contract. It uses a specific range of frequencies that does not allow the muscle to relax in between contractions. The benefits are that the muscle is strengthened without stress on the joints or the skeletal system. EMSlim will implode the fat cells while simultaneously building muscle fibers for contouring benefits.
Are there any risks?
EMSlim is cleared for use by the FDA. This energy is non-ionizing, does not cause cancer, does not give off radiation, does not affect sensory nerves, blood vessels or any other localized tissue except the targeted fat and muscle. Clients with metal implants near the treatment site, pacemaker, pregnant, have impaired sensation, have a burn, circulatory problems, or Epilepsy should not utilize this treatment.
Does EMSlim hurt?
No! Clients usually describe a “pulling sensation”, but we have total control of the intensity output, so clients are always treated at a level that is comfortable to them.
How long will EMSlim results last?
If you workout once and never go back to the gym, those muscles atrophy, the same applies to muscle mass obtained by EMSlim. You can expect to keep your results for six months to a year, but it is recommended that you keep these results up with a healthy lifestyle of diet and exercise.
When will I see results?
You will begin to feel results immediately following treatment. There will be small changes noticeable at first such as posture improvements, decreased fatigue during exercise. The toning and visible muscular results are best seen around 6-12 weeks post treatment, results can continue to improve for up to six months post treatment.
How many treatments are recommended for best results?
We recommend coming in for a series of 6-12 sessions, 2 sessions per week for the most effective results. After the initial package is completed we recommend one or two maintenance sessions every six months to keep up on muscle definition.
What are the benefits of EMSlim?
Increase muscle mass: Clients see an average of 16-20% increase in muscle mass.
Decreases fat: Clients see an average of 19-25% decrease in body fat.
No down time: The procedure is non-invasive, clients can resume regular activities, including high impact sports or exercise immediately.
Safe and Effective: FDA approved, no surgery, non-invasive body sculpting is a reliable method with little to no side effects.
Postpartum: Strengthens your pelvic floor. Because EMSlim targets deep muscle tissue, it can strengthen your pelvic floor quickly after giving birth, meaning a real reduction of postnatal pelvic floor weakness. The EMSlim suit electrically stimulates specific muscles in your legs, buttocks and stomach, which contract under the stimulus. The pelvic floor muscles are connected to these muscles, so they also contract. Tones abdominal muscles quickly and safely. The abdominal muscles often suffer the most during pregnancy. Your abdominal muscles lengthen and separate over the course of your pregnancy – not to mention the pressure put on them during the birthing process. It’s important that you begin exercising your abs gently after pregnancy. Training too hard too quickly could lead to injury. The EMSlim is a quick and safe way to train your abs. Because the system allows for a very gently ramping up of intensity, it’s the perfect way to get started training after pregnancy.
What areas can I treat?
We can treat the abdomen, the butt, arms, thighs, and calves.
Am I a candidate for EMSlim?
Good candidates for the EMSlim treatment are those with unwanted localized collection of abdominal fat, thigh fat, sagging butt. It is recommended that fatty areas not exceed 3-4cm to obtain noticeable results. Clients with excess body fat are recommended to pair other body sculpting methods to treatment.
Recovery Time?
EMSlim is non-invasive with zero down time! You may experience slight muscle soreness just as you would after a workout, but you may resume normal activity immediately following treatment.
