FAQ
Body Sculpting
WHAT IS FAT CAVITATION?
Fat Cavitation is a non-surgical body contouring treatment that targets unwanted fatty deposits that cannot be shifted with diet and exercise. Ultrasound waves are delivered into the subcutaneous (fatty) layer of the skin, targeting fat cells. As a result, broken down fat cells are then expelled via the lymphatic and urinary system. This treatment is safe, non-invasive, and pain-free, and is great for those not wanting to undergo surgery.
WHAT IS RF SKIN TIGHTENING?
Radio-frequency skin tightening is an aesthetic technique that uses radiofrequency energy to heat the skin with the purpose of stimulating cutaneous collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production in order to reduce the appearance of fine lines, cellulite, stretch marks and loose skin.
WHO CAN HAVE ULTRASOUND AND RF TREATMENTS?
Individuals who are generally healthy are safe to have the treatment. People with cardiac and vascular diseases, diabetes, acute illness, comprised liver function, severe bleeding tendencies, pacemaker carriers and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid undergoing the procedure.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED AND HOW OFTEN?
To see optimum results it is recommended approximately 6 to 10 treatments spaced a minimum of 3 days to 14 days apart. Skin tightening will continue to work up to 12 weeks post-treatment so the skin will continue to improve for a number of months once you've completed your sessions.
WHY DO WE COMBINE BOTH FAT CAV & RF SKIN TIGHTENING?
Fat Cavitation with RF Skin Tightening work excellent as hand in hand treatments to reduce fat and tighten loosened skin as a result of fat loss, they also work just as effectively as stand-alone treatments this will vary from client to client depending on each individual's main concern. Each client's concerns will be discussed during our I depth consultation to create an accurate treatment plan to begin your journey here at Esthetikà.
WHAT IS THE PRE AND POST CARE?
PRE TREATMENT:
Hydration is important. Consume at least 2L of water over a 24 hour period prior to treatment.
Dry body brushing will help to remove dead skin and start the detoxification process in preparation for the treatment. It is important to follow body brushing with a good moisturiser to ensure the skin is in good condition.
Fuel your body with healthy foods, ideally low in fat, sugar, and carbohydrates at least 24 hours before the treatment.
POST TREATMENT:
A minimum of 20 minutes of elevated heart rate cardio or ‘fat-burning’ exercise, such as a brisk walk, is required immediately following the treatment to utilise energy and ensure it’s not restored.
2L of water should be consumed within 24 hours post-treatment.
Dry body brush and moisturise daily to assist with lymphatic drainage.
To receive optimum results, you can assist the body in flushing toxins post-treatment through massage, saunas, and detox boxes.
Engage in regular exercise to improve circulation.
Live a healthy and active lifestyle.
IS IT SAFE?
Yes, it is a safe, FDA Approved, comfortable, and non-invasive procedure with virtually no side effects. The ultrasound energy is designed to target fatty tissues beneath the skin only and does not affect the blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissues.
FAQ
Microdermabrasion
WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?
This treatment is a non-invasive treatment that utilises a diamond tip or other components to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells and debris from the stratum corneum (outermost layer of the skin). Microdermabrasion provides many benefits to the skin and is used to treat a variety of skin concerns. This treatment improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin production. It also improves the appearance of enlarged pores and superficial scarring by encouraging cell turnover. Additionally, it evens out skin tone and brightens a dull complexion by gently removing dead surface skin to reveal a bright, glowing complexion, leaving your skin with a youthful appearance.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
• Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen & elastin production.
•Brightens a dull complexion by softly removing dead surface skin to reveal a bright, glowy complexion.
•Evens out skin tone- helps minimise superficial pigmentation, age spots, sunspots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation etc..
•Minimises the appearance of acne scars and breakouts by unclogging congestion that causes breakouts.
•Improves the appearance of stretch marks and enlarged pores by encouraging cell turn over and collagen production.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?
Microdermabrasion results vary depending on the individual’s skin type and goals. We recommend having at least 6-12 treatments spaced out 2-4 weeks apart to achieve optimum results. After completing a recommended microdermabrasion regimen, you may have it once every 3-4 months to maintain full effects.
FAQ
CIT SKIN NEEDLING
WHAT IS CIT SKIN NEEDLING?
Skin needling, also known as ' Collagen Induction Therapy' is a minimally invasive procedure that treats a wide range of skin indications, such as scars, rejuvenation, drug delivery, acne scars, and many more. It utilises tiny needles to create small micro-channels in the skin. The controlled micro-injury initiates the body's natural inflammatory response and as a result, wound healing takes place to regenerate collagen & elastin production.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
•Stimulates collagen & elastin production which aids in minimising the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well as overall skin texture.
•Better product absorption- skincare products are able to penetrate into deeper layers of the skin and deliver more results.
•Minimises the appearance of pigmentation by breaking up the pigment found below the skin surface.
•Improves the appearance of stretch marks by breaking up the tough fibers that make up the scar tissue.
DOES IT HURT?
Many patients describe the procedure to be quick without causing any discomfort. However, each individual's pain tolerance is different and some may feel some slight discomfort during the treatment.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?
The number of treatments required will depend on the client's skin type and end goal. Typically, we recommend 4-6 treatments at a monthly interval. However, each individual is different and may require more/or fewer sessions.
FAQ
DERMAPLANING
WHAT IS DERMAPLANING?
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive treatment that utilises a surgical scalpel to gently remove the skin surface. It removes the top layers of dead skin along with fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) leaving your skin with a smooth appearance and radiant glow.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
•Increases absorption of topical products.
•Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
•Removes fine vellus hair (peach fuzz).
•Improves mild acne scarring.
•No downtime.
•Removes dead skin cells, leaving the skin immediately smooth and vibrant.
•Allows for make-up to be applied flawlessly.
•Instant results.
DOES HAIR GROW BACK DARKER OR THICKER?
This is our most frequently asked question and the answer is NO. Your hair after Dermaplaning will grow back exactly the same colour and thickness as it was previously. We do not manipulate or change the structure of the hair follicle. Re-growth after dermaplaning may feel slightly different because the hair has been cut straight across and you may feel that hair growth coming back is thicker, however, that’s not the case.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS DO I NEED?
The number of treatments required will depend on the client's skin type and end goal. Typically, we recommend between 4-6 treatments spaced out 3-4 weeks apart. However, dermaplaning can also be done as a stand-alone treatment as it works great for those who have an event on. The treatment provides no downtime and gives instant results.
