SelfCare Spa

Yes! The fat cells treated will not regrow. However the length of time that the body contouring will last for is in your hands as new fat cells can always grow.  Coupled with eating healthy and exercising the results will be long lasting. 

Yes! The treatments are absolutely safe. They are FDA approved, comfortable, and non invasive with virtually no side effects. The ultrasound energy is designed to target fatty tissues beneath the skin only. It does not effect the blood vessels, nerves or the connective tissue. 

If you are pregnant, have cancer, liver or kidney failure, heart disease, coronary artery dysfunction of the heart, arrhythmia or irregular heart rhythm, have a pacemaker or have grade III obesity we advise against the treatment. Always consult with your doctor before you start your treatments if you have any concerns. 

Lipo Sculpt Lite and Ultrasonic Cavitation are less invasive, less painful, more affordable and more effective with immediate results and zero downtime. 

CoolSculpting is done by freezing the fat cells, which can be a painful, uncomfortable experience.  One of the side effects can be paradoxical adipose hyperplasia (PAH) where fat cells expand instead of shrink at the treatment area resulting in one getting larger rather than smaller.  Results with CoolSculpting also take sometimes months to see. 

Air sculpting is more invasive.  They make a small entry point and then use air pressure to remove the fat cells resulting in a mark when the entry point heals, ,You need to take an oral medication to manage the pain and discomfort plus you will have 1-2 days of downtime before going back to work.  

For Ultrasonic Cavitation we recommend that you drink 3L of water staggered over the 48 hours leading up to the treatment and do not eat for 2 hours prior to your treatment.  There is no down time so you can resume normal activity as soon as your treatment is over. We do recommend drinking at least 2L of water a day for the next 72 hours. 

Maintaining a low calorie, low carbohydrate, low fat, and low sugar diet for 24 hours pre-treatment and three days post-treatment will help achieve the best results. This is to ensure your body utilizes the triglycerides (a type of body fat) released by the fat cavitation process.

A minimum of 20 minutes of elevated heart rate cardio exercise is highly recommended post-treatment. This is best to be done immediately after the treatment, and for three days following. This is to ensure the stored energy released by the cavitation process is burnt off.  If cardio is not your style then an infrared sauna session is a good alternative as it has a similar effect on the body.

No there is no downtime or recovery period. You can immediately resume normal activities.
