Body + Face Contouring 101 & FAQs

Body Contouring treatments destroy fat cells without invasive surgery, reshaping just about any problem area. Your body then disposes of the fat cells through the lymphatic system. The Beauty Collective offers three different “modalities”, Ultra Sonic Fat Cavitation, Laser Lipo, Radio Frequency Skin Tightening, EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) and BBL Cupping (Brazilian Butt Lift). These can be used separately or in combination for maximum results, depending on what area is being treated.

Modalities

Ultrasonic Fat Cavitation

Also known as Body Cavitation is an effective & non-invasive method which tightens, tones and lifts parts of the body when exercise or diet do not help. Think “problem areas”. Body Cavitation is also one of the best way to treat stubborn cellulite. This  can be used on virtually any area where you're carrying extra weight.  Using low-level  frequency ultrasonic  sound waves to break fat  cells (ie fat deposits) and reduce cellulite. 

BENEFITS OF ULTRASONIC CAVITATION

  • Bursts bulks of fat cells instantly

  • Leaves surrounding tissues completely unharmed

  • 100% safe and non-invasive

  • Decreases fat content

  • Causes no discomfort or pain to patients

  • Slims and tones areas with excess fat

  • Can be used on the arms, stomach, legs, and more

Laser Lipo

Is a method of liposuction, but with no surgery, no anesthesia, no hospital stay, no time off from work and no recovery time.  Unlike conventional liposuction,  the idea of laser lipo is not to remove fat cells—it's to shrink them. Laser Lipo Body Contouring System stimulates adipose cells to release much of their cellular content (water, fatty acids, and glycerol) so that it is subsequently drained and naturally metabolized by the body. This is how the fat cells shrink, which is visibly seen as a loss in centimeters on the treated areas, slimming patients effectively. Laser pads are positioned around the body area to be treated and are held in place with our convenient velcro straps. Once turned on, the machine emits lasers onto the skin which generates heat and metabolizes fatty acids within your adipocytes, or fat cells. Results like better contour and a slimmer shape are visible instantly after one treatment and are maintained and improved with regular sessions. 

BENEFITS OF Laser Lipo

  • Bursts bulks of fat cells instantly

  • Leaves surrounding tissues completely unharmed

  • 100% safe and non-invasive

  • Decreases fat content

  • Causes no discomfort or pain to patients

  • Slims and tones areas with excess fat

  • Can be used on the arms, stomach, legs, and more



Radio Frequency Skin Tightening

Is a non-invasive treatment directed through a wand which is rested onto the skin. Heated radio waves are directed at the deeper layers of skin prompting collagen production resulting in tighter, more youthful looking skin. Radiofrequency therapy uses currents similar to the ones found naturally in our body’s electrical circuits to cause tissues to contract, which in turn safely tighten skin and increase its contour. This non-invasive treatment includes absolutely no downtime, pain, or discomfort, and works wonders at reducing cellulite all over the body and erasing the signs of aging that have accumulated over the years.

BENEFITS OF RADIOFREQUENCY THERAPY

  • Treats cellulite and tightens skin

  • Warms the dermis to make subsequent beauty treatments (like cavitation) more effective

  • Increases skin elasticity and tightness

  • Can be used on the arms, stomach, legs, and more

  • Supports healthy collagen production

  • Non-invasive, safe, and requires no downtime



Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) refines and tones muscles almost all over the body. It enhances muscle strength and endurance while aiding in the breakdown of fat, making this non-invasive body treatment a highly demanded one. It works by sending electrical signals through the electrode pads to different areas of the body, and muscles in those areas with pads are therefore contracted.
This is a wonderful tool for weight loss, especially when used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. This procedure non-invasively increases heart rate, skin temperature, and metabolic rate, which helps the body use more energy to remove fat. By triggering the body’s natural fat burning and muscle toning processes, weight loss is a very achievable result with electrical muscle stimulation. Enhancing muscle strength and endurance while aiding in the breakdown of fat, electrical muscle stimulation is a next-generation technology that has been loved in every field- from medicine to beauty.


BENEFITS OF EMS

  • Promotes total body relaxation

  • Speeds up fat loss

  • Reduces cellulite throughout the body

  • Shapes the stomach, back, thigh and arms

  • Contours the body

  • Improves blood flow and circulation

  • Firms skin

  • Lifts sagging skin

  • Stimulates Collagen production

  • Removes toxins from the body

BBL Brazilian Butt Lift Cupping

Cupping therapy is a very popular treatment today but it is not a new one. The practice of Ancient Chinese cupping therapy dates back to over 5,000 years ago and was used in many Eastern European countries to promote natural healing as well. Cupping stimulates blood circulation in any area of concern, unblocking energy channels and breaking down fat cells as well.  Medical professionals use it for many purposes, such as to relieve pain and inflammation, and estheticians mostly use to provide deep-tissue massages. In addition, it is used for lymphatic drainage after slimming treatments. In recent years cupping, has been growing in popularity, especially among celebrities. It is commonly used to enhance the buttocks and diminish cellulite with lymphatic drainage.

Cupping helps restore the energy that the body needs to shift fat cells. This traditional Chinese medicine treatment is designed to promote faster weight loss as long as you maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise. It is also an excellent method for encouraging the lymphatic system to remove toxins and excess water from the body.

Cupping therapy promotes weight loss and full-body toning by stimulating acupoints and running them along lymphatic lines. Three different size massage rollers are used for body contouring. The suction and negative pressure provided by cupping can loosen muscles, encourage blood flow, and inhibit the nervous system.

BENEFITS OF CUPPING THERAPY

  • Reduces cellulite

  • Enhances buttocks

  • Increases blood flow

  • Boosts the immune system

  • Decreases inflammation

  • Flushes excess water out of the body

  • Relaxes tight muscles

  • Speeds up weight loss

  • Relieves local pain

  • Promotes total body relaxation
