Cryolipolysis is used to target pockets of fat .

This treatment works by using a vacuum hand piece to suck the target area inside. The plates inside the hand piece then cool the fat within the area down to between -5 and -6 degrees Celsius, causing the fat cells to crystallise and undergo localised cell death (apoptosis).

20-40% of the fat cells in the treated area die in a natural way and dissolve over a course of weeks via the body’s natural waste removal process.

Cavitation uses ultrasound technology and is predominantly a circumference reduction treatment which is great for inch loss.

The ultrasound wave disrupts the cell membrane of the fat cell by creating a vibration within the fat layer. The fat cells do not have the capacity to withstand this vibration and very quickly break down, being naturally removed from the body through the lymphatic system.

Results from this treatment are often instant with a 1-3 cm loss seen per treatment, however, the results are progressive.

Radio Frequency on the 3D-Ultimate Pro can be used for both fat melting treatment and as a skin tightening treatment depending on your concern.

When using Radio Frequency for fat melting, the hand piece delivers energy to approximately 1-2 cm beneath the skin to reach the fat cells and heats the area to 40 degrees Celsius – the temperature at which fat cells will start to melt and metabolise. This temperature causes the cells to ‘squash’ and releases a number of triglycerides into the body that is released through our natural waste system, resulting in a smoother appearance.

When using Radio Frequency for skin tightening, the area is also heated to 40 degrees Celsius. However, this hand piece targets a depth of 3-4 mm to increase the synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibres. This tightens the appearance of the skin and can also help to create a lifting effect.

Shockwave can be used for a variety of reasons – to treat cellulite, skin tightening and also to improve lymphatic drainage to accelerate the results of other treatments.

The mechanical effects produced can shrink and permeate fat cells. It also softens and strengthens the connective tissue, helping to reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Shockwave uses the body’s own ability to repair itself after the trauma of the shockwave, increasing the stimulation of the blood flow, expanding the size of existing blood vessels. This effect encourages new cell growth, creating a much healthier cellular regeneration within the treated area.

Also perfect for ‘tired’ legs and Lymphatic drainage.

Vacuum is mostly added in with our Radiofrequency treatments. Cellulite which is pocketed fat, can be effectively broken down with vacuum pressure. It has been a standard treatment for cellulite reduction and firming up the muscles. The addition of Radiofrequency will increase this effect by ‘melting’ the fat.

Fibroblasts are also stimulated (cells that produce collagen), which firm the skin.

Apart from these benefits, vacuum massage also boosts our immunity level and helps the skin appear smoother.
