What should I expect with my treatments?
- Each treatment has different nuances, but with most of our face and body contouring procedures, clients relax comfortably on our treatment table with a roll beneath their knees and neck for support.
- During many treatments your technician will apply lubricant or serum, and position or move the specific handpiece rapidly over the target area, administering powerful energy.
- Depending on the specific treatment, clients may feel warming and cooling sensations, along with mild vibrations. We will check in with you throughout your appointment to ensure you are comfortable and can adjust temperatures and intensity for each person’s comfort level.
- Slight swelling and redness occur with some treatments. This is completely normal and typically dissipates in a few hours.
- Treatment times range from 20-40 minutes depending on the area and number of areas treated.
- Because there’s little to no downtime, work and normal daily routines can be resumed right away.
What should I do before and after treatments?
- Hydrate – Drink 8-10 cups of water before and three days after all face and body contouring, skin tightening, and cellulite reduction
- Check with your physician if you have any medical conditions before your appointment.
- Remove makeup, lotions and jewelry from the treatment area(s) before your appointment.
- Three days post treatment, refrain from alcoholic beverages, strenuous exercise, baths or saunas that will cause excessive sweating.
- Continue with a healthy diet, exercise program and skin tightening homecare with SPF 30+ rain or shine to maximize your results.
What Is the time commitment?
We design our sessions and programs to be as efficient as possible as we want to help our clients reach their goals quickly and get back to enjoying life.
- With most treatments we recommend a series of 4-6 treatments spaced two to three weeks apart, within a 6-month timeframe.
- Appointments are scheduled weekly or every two to three weeks depending on the treatment your scheduling needs and goals.
- EmSlim patients will need 2-3, quick 30-minute treatments per week, for optimal results.
- Treatment times vary from 20-60 minutes per treatment area.
- As there’s little to no downtime, your normal routine will not be not interrupted.
