BODY CONTOURING
CARE GUIDE
Your guide to getting the most from your body contouring treatment, including important information before and after your session, what to expect and our recommended treatment plan.
Before your
Treatment
To help prepare your body and ensure your treatment is suitable:
Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water before your appointment and arrive well hydrated.
Avoid eating beforehand
Avoid eating for approximately 2–3 hours before your treatment.
Avoid alcohol
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment.
Arrive with clean skin
Arrive with clean skin free from lotions, oils or fake tan on the treatment area.
Wear comfortable clothing
Loose, comfortable clothing is recommended, particularly when treating the abdomen, thighs or other larger areas.
Keep us informed
Let your therapist know about any medical conditions, medications, recent procedures, implants or changes to your health.
After your
Treatment
To keep your body comfortable and support your fresh contouring treatment:​
Keep hydrated
Drink plenty of water following your treatment and continue to stay well hydrated.
Get moving
Aim for a 20-minute walk after your treatment. An infrared sauna may also be used if appropriate for your treatment, but avoid traditional steam saunas.
Wait before eating
Avoid eating for approximately 1–2 hours after your treatment.
Avoid excessive heat
Avoid steam rooms, traditional saunas and very hot showers following your treatment, particularly if the treated area feels warm or sensitive.
Maintain healthy habits
Support your treatment plan with regular movement, balanced nutrition and good hydration.
Continue your treatment plan
Results are progressive and a series of treatments may be recommended depending on your individual goals.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your treatment experience will vary depending on the technology being used. You may feel warmth, muscle contractions, suction or other sensations during treatment, but we will adjust the treatment according to your comfort and response.
Immediately afterwards, the area may appear slightly pink or feel warm, tender or temporarily different to the touch. This generally settles following treatment.
Body contouring results are progressive and vary between individuals. Changes may become more noticeable over the following weeks and are generally best supported by completing your recommended treatment plan and maintaining consistent lifestyle habits.
