Smooth, firm and shape your body – lose inches where you want to lose them
Body Contouring Ultrasound
Body Contouring Ultrasound is a non-invasive fat reduction and body contouring treatment of ultrasound cavitation that is targeted onto specific areas of the body. It removes fat and improves the appearance and shape of the treated areas without the need for surgery. As well as reducing fat, it can also smooth the skin to reduce cellulite in the treated areas.
Reduce excess fat
Attack stubborn pockets of fat that diet nor exercise shift
Reduce the appearance of cellulite
Non-invasive – no downtime and no recovery time from surgery
Our FDA approved Med2 Contour Dual ultrasound machine with its patented ultrasound handpiece enables us to target treatments onto the exact areas needed and its settings are tailored according to the part of the body being treated, the amount of fat and the depth required, ensuring you get the most effective treatment.
It also includes its own built in lymphatic drainage system to stimulate the body to remove the waste from the treated areas.
There are two elements to the treatment
1Ultrasound safely breaks down subcutaneous fatty tissue 1-5 cm beneath the surface of the skin leaving other surrounding stronger tissues like blood vessels, nerves and muscles unaffected.
2Lymphatic drainage is then performed to assist the body in removing the broken down fat from the treated areas, which your body then metabolises.
Number Of Sessions Required
The number of sessions varies by individual because of the areas requiring treatment and the results required. The initial consultation is provided free of charge to enable a discussion of the treatment and to understand the results you would like to achieve, and a suitable number of sessions can then be recommended. We generally find that noticeable changes start to be achieved after 6 to 8 sessions, with a 1 week gap between each session, and optimal results typically take an average of 8 to 12 sessions*. The results are long lasting so long as you follow a healthy diet and exercise regime.
The length of each weekly appointment is 60 minutes. You will be able to go back to your normal activities immediately after the treatment.
*Please note that results will vary from person to person.

FAQs
Is the treatment safe?
Yes. The Med2 Contour Dual has been tested extensively and is FDA approved.
What results can I expect?
A scientific study conducted in Italy and Germany found an average circumference reduction of 3.01cm (min 0.9cm / max 4.7cm) after two treatment sessions for the abdomen. However, as individuals, we are all different and therefore the results you see might be less than this.
Who is suitable for treatment?
The best candidates for this treatment are medium to slightly overweight people in general good health and looking to contour their physical profile or those with stubborn areas of fat, which diet nor exercise can shift, who do not wish to resort to surgery. Please note that this treatment is not a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise and where someone is more than 2 stones overweight, then we would recommend having this treatment as part of being on the Alevere programme.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment is non-invasive and you will experience a heating of the skin as a result of the treatment, which most clients report as painless or as being of minimal discomfort. The ultrasound handpiece is moved around the area being treated to prevent too much heat being focused on a single part of the skin and the intensity of the ultrasound can be adjusted to tailor the temperatures achieved to suit the needs of the individual.
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are extremely rare with this treatment, but this will be discussed in-depth during your consultation.
Do I have to follow any dietary regime?
The therapist will provide advice during the initial consultation but the general advice will include eating a healthy balanced low fat diet, abstaining from alcohol (at least avoiding it 24 hours before and 48 hours after the treatment) and drinking plenty of water. You do not need to be on a particular diet to have this treatment, but you do need to be putting less energy into your body than your body is actually consuming in order to have your body effectively take advantage of what the treatment is doing, otherwise a poor diet will be undoing the good work that the treatment is doing for you.
Do I need to do any exercise?
There is no specific requirement to exercise, although any exercise that you do will, along with the correct healthy intake of food, maximise the results achieved because your body will be metabolising more of the fat stores that the treatment has broken down. If you are able to do some exercise within 24 hours of having each treatment, that is something we would recommend.
Is this the same treatment offered within the Alevere programme?
Yes, we provide this treatment as part of the body contouring element of the Alevere programme to reduce stubborn pockets of fat that are not easily lost through a diet, lose inches where we want to lose them and enhance the overall body shape achieved, and it is offered here as a standalone treatment for people who are not on Alevere but have areas of fat on their body that they want to remove in order to improve and sculpt their figure.
