Body Treatments

Tratamentos:

Biostimulators

Female > Body Treatments

Biostimulators, when injected into the skin by cannula, have the ability to reinforce collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid inside. The action of biostimulation therefore occurs from the inside out.

The dermis, for example, under the effect of biostimulators, starts to produce a lot of collagen, so the treatment is well-known when it comes to reducing sagging and achieving excellent results also for cellulite. Results in the buttocks and inner thighs and arms are significant.

By themselves, biostimulators greatly improve sagging, recovering contours and providing firmness, with immediate results. But when combined with microfocus ultrasound, the results are even better.

Sculptra® from Galderma is a biostimulator composed of polylactic acid; and Merz’s Radiesse® for calcium hydroxyapatite. Both are fully absorbed by the body. The use of cannulas for their application avoids stings and possible bruising. Topical anesthetic is used so that there is no discomfort throughout the procedure

Post-treatment: No down time. Redness or mild edema may occur.

Protocol: 2 to 3 sessions, monthly application.

Result: Immediate, with evolution up to 30 days after the end of treatment.

CMSlim

Female > Body Treatments

CMSlim is a muscle stimulator that uses HI-EMT (High Intensity Electromagnetic Muscle Trainer) technology. Its focused electromagnetic field directly stimulates the muscle through continuous and intense contractions, causing muscle growth and reducing fat. Just 30 minutes with CMSlim equals more than 20,000 muscle contractions in the treated region.

Post-Treatment: No Downtime.

Protocol: The number of sessions will depend on the area to be treated, on average 10 sessions.

Result: Evolutionary, from the first session.

Cryolipolysis®

Female > Body Treatments

Since fat cells are more vulnerable to cold than other tissues around them, Cryolipolysis uses this feature to eliminate them. The appliance is applied over the area to be treated, producing a vacuum that compresses it. Almost instantly, the fatty tissue deposited there begins to cool. Everything happens slowly, time necessary for the equipment to cause the death of the fat cells, which end up gradually eliminated by the body.

Post-treatment: Treated region becomes swollen, reddened and rarely bruised.

Protocol: Number of sessions depends on evaluation.

Result: From 3 weeks to 3 months after the first session.

EMsella®

Female > Body Treatments

EMSella is one of the non-invasive technologies developed to help strengthen the pelvic muscles. The more flabby it is, the greater the likelihood of involuntary urine emission by women.

EMSella is essentially a large, comfortable chair in which the patient sits fully clothed. During sitting time, EMSella uses electromagnetic technology to stimulate the pelvic muscles and strengthen the pelvic floor.

Reality of the aging process, urinary leakage is a delicate matter because it occurs at the slightest effort such as coughing, laughing, sneezing or lifting heavy objects, causing embarrassment.

Post-treatment: No downtime.

Protocol: 6 sessions, 2 times a week.

Result: Immediately and gradually until last session

Exilis®

Female > Body Treatments

Radiofrequency is a device that emits thermal waves that heat the skin, reaching fat cells and accelerating its metabolism. By contracting, these cells are stimulated to produce collagen and elastin. As a result, contours are defined and sagging decreases noticeably.

Post-treatment: No downtime

Protocol: 4 sessions, biweekly.

Result: Gradual, up to 30 days after last session.

Exilis Íntima®

Female > Body Treatments

Radiofrequency device adapted for intimate treatment that emits thermal waves to warm the skin and accelerate its metabolism. By contracting, these cells have their collagen and elastin production stimulated and, as a result, the sagging decreases noticeably.

As a result, there are also significant improvements in sexual satisfaction, overall appearance, resilience, and health of the skin in the region is improved. Suitable for mature women, can also be applied to young women with complaints of dryness – the intensity of the laser will vary at the time of application.

Post-treatment: Avoid sex for 3 days.

Protocol: From 4 to 6 sessions, weekly.

Result: Gradual up to 30 days after last week.

Fotona Íntimo®

Female > Body Treatments

A gynecological laser that uses the same structure as other Fotona Intimate devices, unlike the robotic tips adapted to the intimate treatment. When positioned over this region of the female body the Erbium YAG laser, which stimulates collagen production, acts by giving firmness to the skin by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This increases the vascularization of the tissues that support vaginal support, which reduces the diameter of your canal. There is also increased vaginal lubrication, improved symptoms of urinary loss and dryness.

The importance of these results has to do with the condition of the vaginal canal, which suffers direct action of the pelvic floor muscles and their local ligaments. Even without vaginal deliveries, the relaxation of the region is also a consequence of the loss of tone of these muscles. As a direct consequence of this, sexual relations and pleasure may be affected.

The Intensive Fotona Gynecological Laser also acts on the external region of the genitals to lighten it, improving the sagging lips and correcting dermatological lesions, if any.

Post-treatment: Avoid sex for 3 days.

Protocol: 3 sessions, monthly

Result: Gradual, up to 1 month after last session

Fotona Necksculpting®

Female > Body Treatments

To reduce sagging double chin, a variation of Fotona is NeckSculpting treatment, which uses the same procedure, only with the adapting tips.

Two types of photon laser work together enhancing its action. They are the ND YAG laser, which destroys the internal fat cells by selective temperature increase; and the Erbium YAG laser, which stimulates collagen production, giving the skin more firmness. In practice, it translates as a four-dimensional treatment, the accuracy of which is guaranteed by a robotic tip that varies according to the type of recommendation. Each has the ability to scan and evaluate the area being treated, ensuring homogeneous treatment action. The device’s action on sagging is a consequence of its action on localized fat, a treatment that requires higher temperatures and powers, which is guaranteed by its robotic technology. The double result that Fotona Necksculping offers – for localized fat and sagging – considered one of its key differentiators comes from its ability to stimulate collagen production just as the decrease in fat tends to make the skin sagging.

Post-treatment: No downtime.

Protocol: between 4 and 6 sessions, biweekly

Result: Lifting effect.

Fotona Smooth®

Female > Body Treatments

The SMOOTH Mode photon laser consists of a fast train of overlapping pulses with long individual durations with little time between them. This allows to generate a deep heat deposit in the layers of the skin. This way, Smooth Mode leads to immediate tissue contraction, leaving the skin firmer. In addition, the thermal damage caused stimulates regeneration and new collagen formation, improving the appearance of recent and late stretch marks. Erbium mode can also be used in the same session which allows superficial ablation of the tissue, improving the most superficial imperfections and with whitening effect.

Post-treatment: Slight burning, which gives way in a short time. No downtime.

Protocol: 4 to 8 sessions, monthly.

Result: Gradual, up to 2 months after the last session.

Fotona Tightsculpting®

Female > Body Treatments

Fotona is a combination of lasers that can “sculpt” the body reducing sagging. Two types of laser combine in Fotona enhancing its action. They are the ND YAG laser, which destroys the internal fat cells by selective temperature increase; and the Erbium YAG laser, which stimulates collagen production, giving the skin more firmness.

In practice, it translates as a four-dimensional treatment, the accuracy of which is guaranteed by a robotic tip that varies according to the type of recommendation. Each has the ability to scan and evaluate the area to be treated, ensuring homogeneous treatment action.

To reduce localized fat, higher temperatures are required, and robotic technology also gives more security to the treatment, allowing it to reach the required temperatures and powers. One of the main differentials for treating localized fat with Fotona is in the double result, as it also acts against sagging, since reducing only fat can make the skin more sagging.

Post-treatment: No Downtime.

Protocol: 3 sessions, monthly.

Result: Lifting effect.

Freeze®

Female > Body Treatments

Device that has unique technology to reverse the effects of aging on the skin, with positive effects also on fat and cellulite. For this, Freeze combines two sources of energy: on the one hand, the magnetic pulses, which stimulate the hormone FGF-2 responsible for the growth of blood vessels and the proliferation of fibroblasts, which are the fibers that produce collagen and elastin. On the other hand, multipolar radiofrequency acts, which increases the synthesis of collagen and elastin, destroying fats and stimulating the self-repairing ability of the skin. Treatment reduces measures, decreases sagging and appearance of cellulite.

Post-treatment: Slightly pink skin for up to 1 hour after each session.

Protocol: Between 8 and 10 sessions, weekly.

Result: Gradual, from the first session.

Peeling

Female > Body Treatments

It is a technique recommended to stimulate cell renewal. Through natural, mechanical or chemical agents, peeling causes exfoliation of the skin, eliminating its most superficial part, the epidermis. The goal is to stimulate the rapid formation of new layer in its place, which always happens from the inside out, from the dermis to the epidermis.

The intensity of the peel varies between superficial, medium or deep. The skin cells are thus stimulated to grow rejuvenated, softer and clearer.  Only the doctor is able to recommend peelings, because it is necessary to be precise about the depth conditions of the skin, characteristic that varies from person to person. In case of inaccuracy in the exfoliation process, excessive peeling can cause infections and leave scars.

Post-treatment: no sun for 7 days.

Protocol: 1 to 4 sessions, monthly.

Result: On average, 1 week after 1st session.

Peeling

Female > Body Treatments

Technique recommended to stimulate cell renewal, the term peeling can be translated to “exfoliate” or “peel”. Through natural, mechanical or chemical agents, peeling causes exfoliation of the skin, eliminating its most superficial part, the epidermis. The goal is to stimulate the rapid formation of new layers in its place, which always happens from the inside out, from the dermis to the epidermis.

The intensity of the peel varies between superficial, medium or deep. The skin cells are thus stimulated to grow rejuvenated, softer and clearer. Intimate peeling within this process eliminates dead skin cells and superficial layers by associating some acids. The result is smoother, renewed, younger-looking skin.

Like the others, only the doctor is able to recommend peelings, because it is necessary to be precise about the depth conditions of the skin, which varies from person to person. In case of inaccuracy in the exfoliation process, excessive peeling can cause infections and leave scars.

Post-treatment: Slight peeling

Protocol: 3 to 6 sessions, monthly

Result: Immediate

Fill

Female > Body Treatments

The filling technique is usually recommended to correct depressions, ridges, scars and wrinkles. In the case of the female intimate region, its use helps to give volume and restore the “padded” shape of the outer and inner lips of the vagina, as well as the region called “Venus Hill”. When the degree of sagging is higher, the recommendation is to fill with hyaluronic acid. However, there are other substances too. The criterion of choice is always with the doctor.

Post-treatment: No Downtime.

Protocol: 1 session.

Result: Immediate.

Starwalker

Female > Facial Treatments

Starwalker is a picosecond and nanosecond laser that safely removes all pigment tones from the skin. It is the newest treatment for removing tattoos, blemishes, spots, dark circles and melasma. The energy waves allow a photoacoustic effect of greater intensity, breaking the skin pigments into smaller particles, increasing efficiency, speed and safety.

Post-treatment: For dark spots and melasmas, no post-treatment required. For some tattoos, a small bandage is necessary, as well as anesthetic ointment.

Protocol: The number of sessions depends on the pigmentation of the discolored areas or tattoo. For a melasma, it’s necessary to have between 4 – 6 sessions.

Result: Immediate, with evolution after the end of treatment.

Tixel®

Female > Body Treatments

It is a thermal system that acts by fractional action, that is, by discontinuous emissions of heat. Suitable for rejuvenation when applied to the skin through small pyramid-shaped pins, it transfers heat to the upper dermis at an extremely fast speed, sparing the epidermis. As a result of this action, it stimulates the production of new and better quality collagen.

The heat generated by Tixel also creates micro-channels, ranging from the superficial layer to the deep layer of the skin, facilitating the penetration of hyaluronic acid actives, bleaching and other anti-aging actives called drug delivery.

Based on Thermo-Mechanical Ablation (ATM) technology, Tixel impacts target tissue almost identically to fractional, but low-pain, and carefully lasers. Provides rapid healing and recovery time is short. Unlike other lasers, the device does not radiate light, eliminating eye safety hazards.

Post-treatment: Redness, which lasts from 6 to 12 hours; Small crusts form after 24 hours and last up to 3 days.

Protocol: From 3 to 5 sessions, monthly.

Result: Gradual, 1 to 2 months after the first session.

Ulthera®

Female > Body Treatments

Non-surgical treatment that uses ultrasound to give firmness and improve skin tone. This is possible because microfocus ultrasound is the only technology that applies energy to the deep muscle plane i.e. it warms the innermost layers while preserving the epidermis on the surface of the skin.

The action of Ulthera on the skin also allows to generate images that help to visualize the layers of tissues to be treated. The precision of the device further stimulates cells to produce new collagen fibers.

It is recommended to treat both sagging skin and muscle sagging, producing lifting effect.

Post-treatment: Slight redness and swelling that subsides within hours.

Protocol: 1 session per year.

Result: Gradual, up to 3 months after session

Vela Shape III®

Female > Body Treatments

Through bipolar radiofrequency combined with infrared energy and a tip that produces heat, vacuum and massage, VelaShape III warms the upper layers of the skin as well as its deepest tissues.

In practice, its effects are similar to those of modeling massage, except that the heat produced at very high temperatures ends up “killing” fat cells and stimulating collagen production, leaving the skin smooth and firm, including without the typical irregularities of cellulite.

Among the advantages of VelaShape III is its ability to heat the treated region more quickly and to offer better temperature control. This prevents pain and burns. It treats abdomen, flanks, thighs or arms in just 20 minutes and there are great responses in the first session, totaling four.

The lifting effect and other results of the VelaShape III treatment were confirmed by research by manufacturer Syneron Medical, which recorded in all 42 volunteers in the experiment a mean reduction in waist circumference of 2.6 cm after a single session.

Post-treatment: No downtime.

Protocol: 4 sessions, biweekly.

Result: Gradual, from the 1st session

XWave®

Female > Body Treatments

Equipment that emits acoustic waves, which stimulate cells and tissues in the body with a series of micro shocks. The process is painless, only vibrations similar to those of very powerful speakers are felt. By causing acoustic waves to spread through the skin and interact with subcutaneous tissue, they stimulate blood circulation and collagen formation. As a result, the accumulated fat that forms the cellulite disappears.

X-Wave not only treats cellulite, it also reduces sagging skin, improves its appearance and even muscle tension. By stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, it also acts on the appearance of scars and stretch marks, reducing them. The original elasticity and texture of the skin is renewed.

Post-treatment: No downtime.

Protocol: 6 sessions, weekly.

Result: Gradual, from the first session.
