What technologies are used in Sumatox Body Sculpting?

Sumatox Body Sculpting offers an innovative combination of treatments for fat reduction, cellulite reduction, skin tightening, and butt lifting, that simultaneously incorporates several distinct technologies:

•    Ultrasound Cavitation

•    Radiofrequency

•    Laser Technology

Is Ultrasonic Cavitation a safe procedure?

Yes, it is a safe, comfortable, and non-invasive procedure with virtually no side effects. It does not require anesthesia, leaves no scars and does not require any post-treatment. The ultrasound energy is designed to target fatty tissues beneath the skin only and does not affect the blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues.

Is the procedure painful?

No, the treatment is painless. A slight tingling sensation or buzzing in the ear may sometimes be felt during the treatment. Some heat sensation may also be felt during treatment but no pain. Any slight reddening of the skin which may sometimes develop during or soon after treatment quickly disappears.

Does it work on cellulite?

Yes, low-frequency ultrasound (40 kHz) generally works well on cellulite by focusing the cavitation effect on the superficial fat tissue. Best results are obtained when the ultrasound is applied in conjunction with the radio frequency (RF) treatment which helps to tighten and tone the skin. Cellulite is the appearance of dimpled skin.

What results can I expect?

The ultrasonic cavitation treatment will often yield immediate results which you can feel, touch and see, and it can be long-lasting. Some clients can experience between a 1/2 inch to 1.5 inches of circumference reduction after a single session with increasing definition after subsequent visits. However, more significant results will be noticed after the second and third treatment.

Before and aftercare advice

To ensure the best results with this treatment we suggest that you follow the aftercare recommendations:

• Drink at least 2 liters of water before your treatment and another 2 liters in the day after your treatment (soft drink, soda, juice or tea is not water).

• You should not eat 2 hours before and 1 hour after treatment.

• Do not drink ANY alcohol or caffeine on the day of treatment or 48hrs after.

• Do not take a hot shower (warm is alright), spa or sauna straight after treatment.

• Diet: Follow a fat-free, low starch, low sugar diet for best results

• Exercise for at least 20 minutes after your treatment to stimulate lymph movement.

Are there any side effects with SlimSculpting treatment?

There are virtually no side effects. However, on rare occasions, there may be a slight possibility of mild side effects such as transient redness, or blistering, intensified thirst, or mild nausea immediately after the treatment which is invariably resolved by drinking water. These are all short-term effects that disappear in a few hours.

Ultrasonic cavitation treatment is not for everybody. Even though it is a safe and painless procedure, nevertheless there are contraindications for using cavitation devices for the treatment of localized fat. Such contraindications will depend on the individual’s medical history. Thus people with kidney failure, liver failure, heart disease, carrying a pacemaker, pregnancy, lactation, etc. are not suitable candidates for the cavitation treatment.

On which parts of the body is treatment most effective?

Thighs (saddlebags), Abdomen (love handles), Hips (flanks), Buttock, Upper arm i.e. the areas of localized fat. However, it cannot be applied to the head, neck, chest, back and over bony areas.

What long-term results can I expect?

You can achieve a volume reduction of fatty tissues and toning of the body. The results are gradual over a number of weeks as your body clears the broken down fatty tissues. It is not uncommon to achieve up to several inches of reduction by the end of the course of treatments. The results can be long lasting provided you follow a healthy diet and exercise program. However, it is very easy to deposit fat again into the tissues if one over-eats, consumes too much alcohol or doesn’t exercise. Ultimately the result may vary depending on the individual’s different tissue structure, treatment area, age, metabolism, medication, and changes in hormones.

What is the minimum time frame that must pass before each recommended modality?

•    Laser sculpting: Daily

•    Ultrasonic Cavitation: Once every 72 hours

•    Thermalift Skin Tightening: Once per week on face, 3 days on body
