Weight Loss & Skin Tightening Treatment

What You Need To Know About Weight Loss & Skin Tightening/Body Contouring Treatments

Our most popular skin tightening treatment is the Radio Frequencey (RF) Body Contouring. Safe, highly effective, and our technology provides a comfortable and relaxing spa experience using the newest technology on the market, we will help you achieve your weight loss and skin tightening goals!

Our Technologies

We use The Reform™ and the Accent XL by Alma Lasers.

The Reform™ offers patented UniPolar^TM technology and uses dielectric heating achieved with an RF frequency of 40.68 MHz. The Reform™ sends 40.68 million transmissions per second to the tissue. Used successfully worldwide, Reform™ body contouring treatments are safe, effective, and suitable for any skin type. This form of treatment overcomes the challenges of age-related skin imperfections, cellulite, enhances skin tone, and tightens the skin.

The Alma Accent XL™ can rejuvenate the skins texture and firmness in a pain-free procedure. Featuring IN-Motion, which gradually heats the body at different depths:

BiPolar Head – This head is the superficial of the three, heating the top layers of the dermis locally. With 40MHz, the BiPolar Head also allows us to tighten smaller areas such as the face but with more power than the 6MHz with ThermaCool™ by Thermage or 1MHz with the Elos™ by Syneron™.
UniPolar Head – Reaching up to 20mm in depth, the UniPolar head is great for increasing blood circulation, and inducing fat cells that get drained out of the body from the lymphatic system.
UniLarge Head – The UniLarge Head uses the same technology as the UniPolar head but covers double the surface area. It has 50% more energy and can cover areas 30% faster which helps to deliver faster treatment times.

Before Treatment

Before you decide to move forward with body contouring treatments, we highly recommend booking a complimentary consultation with one of our highly trained staff members. During a consultation, we can determine whether this would be the best treatment option for you, along with approximately how many treatments you’ll need based on your skin type, age, and goals. During your consultation, you will also have an opportunity to ask any and all questions that you have so that you can make the best decision for you.

We highly recommend drinking at least 1 bottle of water before your treatment, and lots of water after. Drinking water works synergistically with body contouring as it aids your body in draining adipose tissue from your body through the lymphatic system.

During Treatment

During treatment, you can expect to feel a warming sensation as the Reform technology uses dielectric heating to break up fat cells. Treatments are painless, and if you do experience any mild discomfort, it is important that you communicate this with your medical aesthetician so that she can adjust the frequency of the machine.

After Treatment

Drinking lots of water after your treatments to further assist your body’s lymphatic system in draining out excess adipose tissue. You can expect to notice firmer skin a few hours to 24 hours after your treatment. Results will vary depending on your skin’s elasticity, your age, skin type, and gender, however typically you will see results almost immediately.

List of Benefits:

Collagen fibers contract and multiply, which firms and improves laxity.
Connective tissue contracts to improve the skin’s contour, texture and architecture.
Circulation improves and retained fluids drain from subcutaneous adipose tissue (cellulite) to reduce edema, erythema and overall volume.
