FAQ

What is Body Sculpting? Non-surgical body contouring, also known as non-surgical fat reduction or body sculpting, uses cold, heat, laser, or radiofrequency technology to destroy fat cells, tighten skin, and reduce cellulite without incisions or anesthesia. Popular techniques like CoolSculpting (freezing) and EMS target specific, diet-resistant pockets of fat. 

Which Treatment is Best for Me?

Ultrasound Cavitation

Ultrasound cavitation, plus radio frequency is best for anyone who wants to shape and minimize fat in whole areas like stomach, back, arms, thighs or butt. It can minimize the look of cellulite, stretch marks and stimulate skin lasticity.

Cryotherapy

Cryolipolysis is a minimally invasive technology that relies on extreme cold to permanently destroy fat cells, reducing fat pockets in specific areas like chin, arms, legs, stomach, flanks (love handles). It is perfect for stubborn fat areas that traditional exercise and diet does not eliminate.

EMS

EMS stimulates muscles in a targeted area. It is perfect for anyone who wants to tone and define certain areas of the body. It intensifies the results of cavitation and cryotherapy making it an excellent add on to these services but is a great stand alone service for anyone wanting to build stonger muscles in a specific area that cannot be reached with workouts alone.

Common Questions:

  • What do I need to do to prepare for treatment? It is important to stay hydrated and avoid greasy foods and alcohol for 24hrs pre-treatment and 48hrs post treatment. Do NOT wear any jewelry or clothing with metal (blue jeans with buttons, ext.)

  •  Is this treatment safe for people with heart conditions, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.? All treatments offered at A Plus Body Sculpting are non-invasive and have minimal to no downtime. As long as your medical conditions are well controlled, body sculpting can have many great side effects to your overall health. But as always, ask your doctor and be sure to inform our staff of any health conditions or concerns before undergoing any treatments..

  • How long until I see results? Many clients see instant results with the ultrasound cavitation, but best results are seen 3-6 days after treatment. Results can be felt during EMS treatment, but best results are seen 3-6 days after final session. Cryolipolosis permanently destroys fat cells in the targeted area over a period of time as rapid weight loss can cause excessive, loose or saggy skin in certain areas. Results for cryolipolosis can take 4-12 weeks to appear.

  • How many treatments will I need to see results? Each body type is different and some clients achieve the results they are looking for after one session, however, most body types need at least 3 to 12 sessions before getting the results they hope to achieve with body sculpting.

  • How often can I do body sculpting? Ultrasound cavitation can be done once per week (2 large areas at a time or one large area and two small areas at a time.) EMS can be done every 48hrs and no more than 1.5 hrs per day. Cryolipolosis can be performed on the same body every 6 days but not on the same area of the body. Treatment on the same area must have at least 4 weeks between treatments.

  • What should I expect during my first session? After a quick consultation, you will be guided to a discreet room where you may or may not need to remove your clothing. The clinician will then take pictures of the treatment area. If you have decided on the ultrasound cavitation treatment, you will then lie down on a sanitized message table or bed. The clinician will then apply ultrasound gel to the treatment area and place a device handle on the area to be treated. You should hear a loud ringing in your ears, as the device breaks down fat using ultrasound wave technology. You may also experience a warm sensation from the device handle as well. If you have decided to follow this with EMS or for EMS alone, you will be fully clothed and an EMS device paddle will be placed on the area to be treated. The device slowly starts to contract your muscles and releases periodically. It is not painful, but it is a strong pulsing sensation. There is no downtime, but the after effect feels similar to an intense workout. For the cryolipolosis treatment, an antifreeze membrane will be placed directly on your skin, followed by a cooling applicator. The device then sucks the targeted fat into the cooling applicator to directly target and freeze the fat cells. You may feel intense cold at first along with slight pulling or pressure, but this usually fades as the area becomes numb. Most clients relax, scroll their phone, or even nap during their session. Afterward, the area is messaged to help kick start the fat burning process. There is no downtime, but bruising of the area is to be expected and will fade after a few days. 

  • Which areas can be sculpted? Ultrasound cavitation can be done on the chin (RF and EML for the rest of the face for collagen production and fat loss), arms, legs, butt, back, and stomach. Cryolipolosis can be performed on any area with pinchable fat, arms, legs, chin, underarms, stomach, back, ext. EMS can be performed on the arms, abdomen, buttocks, thighs and calves.
