WHAT IS BODY CONTOURING?
Body contouring is designed to enhance the shape and appearance of your body by targeting localized areas of stubborn fat, loose skin, or cellulite. The goal is to sculpt and redefine specific areas, leading to more toned and smoothed physique. Body contouring procedures are amazing after significant weight loss (Hcg or Ozempic), stubborn areas ( belly, hips thighs) and post-pregnancy weight.
WHY WE CHOSE PHYSIQ?
We researched the country on the best body contouring machines for our client population.
PHYSIQ was our top choice. Made in Italy, it's an FDA-approved body treatment that targets stubborn fat where exercise and diet might not help.
Unlike other body contouring machines, it is safe for higher BMIs and for all skin types.
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT PHYSIQ?
PHYSIQ doesn’t just tone your muscles; it also eliminates stubborn fat from specific body parts in the same session. Exercise, hormone balancing and diet changes will help you to lose weight, but getting rid of stubborn fat might be more challenging. This is where PHYSIQ body contouring treatments can help.
With PHYSIQ, the procedure can be customized to target specific body parts or your top concerns.
The procedure uses four applicators that can target different body parts, such as the arms, thighs, and butt in one session.
HOW LONG ARE THE CONTOURING SESSIONS?
PHYSIQ only lasts about 30 minutes, but you’ll need several sessions to achieve your desired results. It’s painless and has no downtime, making it a suitable treatment even when you have a busy schedule.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
The recommendation is 5 sessions with each session spaced one week apart. We start most of our patients on the full STEP PROTOCOL. HOWEVER, EMS may be used alone to maintain results over time. It's important to remember that each session is customizable.
WHAT MAKES PHYSIQ A VIRTUALLY PAIN-FREE TREATMENT?
First, the deep penetration of heat combined with sapphire cooling at the skin’s surface leads to only a minimal increase in the temperature of the skin. This allows the patient to be comfortable without sacrificing efficacy. Next, the cycling between heat and EMS with STEP ensures the optimal temperature is reached and maintained throughout the treatment Lastly, you have a control button to make any adjustments for comfort without impacting the efficacy of the session.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER MY TREATMENT?
BEFORE your PHYSIQ treatment, it’s a good idea to increase your water intake prior.
DURING your treatment we will place up to four applicators spaced along the desired area and secure them with a PHYSIQ band. You may feel warmth at the applicator site and you will feel muscle contractions during the EMS phases. If you feel discomfort, you may use the patient control button which adjusts the energy modulation without impacting the effectiveness of the treatment.
AFTER your treatment, it is important to massage the area with the PHYSIQ body lotion that was designed to complement your body treatment.
The area(s) may feel warm for a few hours post treatment. Strenuous exercise and activities that raise your body temperature should be avoided for at least 48 hours.
HOW DOES PHYSIQ WORK?
PHYSIQ targets tissues and muscle with its unique STEP technology. STEP programs are customized sequences of timed phases of deep heat and muscle stimulation. The deep heat phase from PHYSIQ’s super luminescent diode matrix (SDM) targets tissue while electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) creates muscle contractions to re-educate the muscle in the targeted area.
HOW DOES PHYSIQ COMPARE TO EMSCULPT OR COOLSCULPT?
PHYSIQ and Emsculpt® are similar as both increase muscle stimulation via forced contractions. Think of these contractions as similar to the tons of squats and crunches you do at the gym to get toning results.
PHYSIQ works to eliminate fat cells through heating. Coolsculpt or cryodevices work by cooling fat cells.
However, PHYSIQ is more effective as it;
targets stubborn fat especially if you have a higher BMI
improves your lymphatic flow, especially with cases of lymphedema.
reduced risk of nodules, adverse effects from freezing
targets smaller areas such as flanks, back fat, upper thigh inner, and arms
treats fat and muscle within the same session - a more cost effective option to get your body in shape. Emsculpt only works on the muscles, and coolsculpt only on fat cells
both coolsculpt and emsculpt would require additional costly sessions for fat elimination And or muscle toning.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER MY TREATMENT?
BEFORE your PHYSIQ treatment, if necessary, you will want to shave the targeted area(s). It’s a good idea to increase your water intake prior.
We will place up to four applicators spaced along the desired area and secure them with a PHYSIQ band.
DURING your treatment you may feel warmth at the applicator site and you will feel muscle contractions during the EMS phases. If you feel discomfort, you may use the patient control button which adjusts the energy modulation without impacting the effectiveness of the treatment.
AFTER your treatment, it is important to massage the area with the PHYSIQ body lotion that was designed to complement your body treatment.
The area(s) may feel warm for a few hours post treatment. Strenuous exercise and activities that raise your body temperature should be avoided for at least 48 hours.
