What is Body Sculpting?
Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation and RF (Radio Frequency) Skin Tightening are non-invasive beauty treatments designed to target stubborn fat and improve skin appearance, offering a non-surgical alternative to invasive skin and body tightening treatments
Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation uses low-frequency sound waves to break down fat cells in targeted areas. The ultrasound waves create microscopic bubbles within the fat tissue, causing them to pop and in turn they damage the membrane of the fat cell, releasing the liquid fat into the body. This liquid fat is then naturally eliminated by the body through the lymphatic system. It’s most effective for areas like the abdomen, thighs, and triceps, offering a contoured, smoother look.
RF Skin Tightening, on the other hand, uses radio frequency energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin. The heat promotes the regeneration of collagen and elastin, which are essential for youthful, firm skin. This treatment is commonly used on the face, neck, and body to reduce sagging and fine lines, resulting in a more lifted, toned appearance.
Body sculpting takes multiple sessions to reach your desired results. This can range anywhere from 4-12 sessions depending on factors like your body composition, your age, hormonal variances and lifestyle.
Both treatments are painless, require no downtime, and can be used together for enhanced results. They offer a safe, effective way to reduce fat, tighten skin, and restore a youthful glow without the need for surgery or an extensive recovery time.
Before & Aftercare
Proper before and aftercare is essential to achieving the best results with body sculpting treatments. Following these steps will enhance your outcomes and ensure safety.
Before Care
~ Drink 3L of water for 3 days prior - This is the most important step. If your cells are not hydrated, your lymphatic system won't eliminate the fat.

~ Try to avoid caffeine & alcohol - These dehydrate the body and hinder the fat elimination process.
