Questions

What are the different

types of body

contouring?

Nonsurgical body contouring is called lipolysis. There are several lipolysis methods that we use at the Body Bar: Cryolipolysis uses very cold temperatures to destroy fat cells. Laser lipolysis uses lasers to destroy fat cells. The lasers focus on subcutanneous tissue, leaving other structures unaffected. This allows you to remove fat within minimal to no bruising or swelling. Then the unwanted fat is excreted through your urine out of the body within a few days.

Is there anything I

should do to prepare for

the session?

It is best if you do not drink alcohol for a couple days before and after your session, as it will interfere with healing and removal of your fat and waste products. Do not apply any lotions or creams on the areas we will be working. Because we do not do invasive procedures, only this light preparation is required.

What happens during

non-surgical lipolysis?

A session can take between 30 to 60 minutes. You will lie on a massage table and depending on the treatment, we will use paddles or a wand to deliver ultrasound waves or laser beams to break up the fat. If you are getting laser lipolysis, the lasers will heat up and break up the fat, which you will excrete over the next several days. If you are getting booty enhancement, you will lie on your stomach while the muscle stimulation vacuum cups are applied for 30 minutes. If you are getting facial services, it can vary from light vaccum massages to light muscle stimulation to firm up the facial muscles.

What happens after

Body Contouring

Sessions?

You can home and resume your regular activities. However, you should no drink alcohol for a couple days before or after your treatment and you should drink a lot of water (4 litres a day) to flush out the fat from your system.

What are the advantages

of body sculpting?

When it is done with high quality machines and a skilled technician, many people find that after 6-8 body contouring sessions they have: More defined, well-shaped body parts. Younger, thinner appearance. Smoother skin. With nonsurgical options, it may take a few weeks or months to see a difference.

How fast should I expect

results?

Some people will see some improvement after each session, but the improvements don’t stop there. As the muscles strengthen and the fat flushes out, you will continue to see improvement over the next several weeks following the session.

What makes your

services different?

Whether you will see results depends on 3 factors 1 - the quality of the machines 2 - the quality of the technician using the machines on you 3 - how well you follow the pre-and post session instructions. Eg: no alcohol before or after the sessions, and sufficient hydration. We have top of the line custom machines created specifically for our clients, that have been extensively tested on people of all shapes and sizes to ensure that they give you the results you are looking for. We are fully trained on how to optimize our equipment to best give you the results you are looking for. And we give you clear and easy to follow instructions before and after the sessions to ensure that the results are maximized after you go home.
