Why is a consultation required for advanced exfoliation, skin rejuvenation services and body contouring services?

The consultation is a safety precaution and also helps identify issues and concerns in order to determine the appropriate treatment. Upon completion, it is possible that you may not be a candidate for a specific service. During the consultation, we will discuss the number of treatments, treatment prep, at-home care, expected outcome as well as cost expectations. Medical history and preliminary paperwork will also be discussed and completed.

During the mask application the client enjoys their choice of one of the following: neck and shoulder, hand and arm, or foot massage.

What should I wear to a body contouring treatment?

You need to wear loose clothing and bring a “sneaker type” shoe to stand on the body vibration plate.

Is my time on the body vibration plate REALLY necessary?

YES!!
Continued stimulation of the lymphatic system is imperative for optimal results, as is 30 minutes of mild cardio 4-5 times a week during your treatment regimen. Consistent movement of your body encourages fat cells to exit through your lymphatic system. Failure to move the cells will result in stagnation and hinder your success.

Do body treatments hurt?

No, not at all!!
They are very relaxing. Some clients sleep, others catch up on reading, emails, social media and some enjoy facial treatments during their body treatment session.

What is the difference between “non-invasive” and “progressive”?

Non-invasive: working on the top surface of the skin only

Progressive: results are achieved over an estimated period of time

This is why my services have little to no discomfort and no down-time for healing. Healing delays the outcome of the treatment. Recent studies have shown that reducing trauma to the skin results in better long-term and optimal skin health.

How long do the results of body contouring last?

Body contouring is considered semi-permanent. Fat cells are not destroyed; they collapse and shrink. This means that after treatment, it is possible for your results to be maintained through healthy diet and exercise.
