Body Sculpting FAQ
So you’ve been exercising regularly. You’ve been eating a healthy diet. You’re feeling great, but you’re still not seeing the results you dreamed of. What can you do? If you have stubborn areas of fat that you want to get rid of, or simply wish the shape of a part of your body was different, you might be wondering if non-surgical body sculpting treatments are right for you.
Body sculpting treatments are fast, non-invasive, and help to quickly achieve results. Let’s take a look at some of the commonly asked questions about body sculpting.
How should I prepare for body sculpting treatments?
​
There are a few simple things we recommend you do before coming in for your body sculpting appointment:
​
-
DRINK WATER! Drinking water is crucial to aid in the flushing out of broken down fat cells that are excreted through your lymphatic system. The day before drink at least 2 liters of water.
​
-
Avoid eating heavy meals the day of your treatment. DO NOT eat 2 hours before and after treatment
​
-
Keep your treatment areas out of direct sunlight for a week beforehand. We don’t want any sunburns!
​
-
DO NOT consume caffeine, alcohol, or carbonated drinks the day before treatment

You will also receive pre and post treatment instructions via email.
What is body sculpting?
Body sculpting targets and kills fat cells in the body without surgery. It allows you to shape and lose stubborn fat in areas such as the upper arms, abdomen, hips, and thighs.
Not only does body sculpting help destroy fat, but it also reduces cellulite, promotes healthy blood circulation, and strengthens connective tissue.
This procedure is ideal for those who are close to their ideal weight, but have parts of their body they’d like to shape, tighten, tone, or define a little more.
How does body sculpting work?
Body sculpting procedures use different types of energy to kill fat cells and visibly tighten skin. Once the treatment is complete, the body processes and filters out the destroyed fat cells over the course of the next 3-4 months, which is when most people see the full effect of the procedure.
Is body sculpting safe? Does it hurt?
​
Body sculpting is non-invasive and involves little to no pain. Side effects to body sculpting procedures are very minimal, usually consisting of minor pain, swelling, or a warm feeling on the treated area.
Still, it’s always a good idea to consider your health history before getting treatment, which is why we require a consultation before treatment. We will discuss which procedure will be the best for you.
What can I expect after body sculpting?
Because body sculpting procedures are non-invasive, you can return to normal activities immediately following treatment.
How many sessions are required?
Generally most clients start to see a difference in 3 treatments. Often time you'll see results after first session. However, between 8 and 12 sessions are needed for optimum results. The exact number of treatments will vary due to factors such as age, weight, and the area being treated.
