Most patients receive 6-8 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each
individual person and the area being treated.
How often/far apart should the sessions be?
Treatments are done once a week.
Do I need to do anything to prepare for the treatment?
Just make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams, or makeup before your treatment. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated.
How long does a treatment session last?
Each session lasts 15-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
What does the treatment feel like?
The applicator will slowly get warmer till your skin reaches the needed temperature and stays
within that temperature range. But if you do feel it’s too hot, just let the operator know and they
can easily lower the temperature a bit.
Will it be painful?
Treatments are comfortable. Some say it feels like a relaxing hot stone massage. Some even fall asleep during the treatment. The level of heat and suction can easily be adjusted to you.
How will I feel after my treatment?

recommended once a month or every 3-4 months, depending on the person.
