-
What are the technologies you use to get rid of fat?Synergy Bodywork Solutions uses an FDA approved system for fat loss, known in the industry as Ultrasonic Cavitation. Synergistic SculptingTM utilizes Ultrasonic Cavitation combined with Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF), Radio Frequency, Infra-red light, and sound waves.
-
Is there any down time?This process is non-invasive and non-surgical. You can resume normal activities immediately after your session.
-
How long does a session take?You can be in and out during your lunch break! Sessions take between 1 and 1.5 hours depending on the area of the body we are working on.
-
How many areas of the body can you treat in one session?We can only treat one area of the body per session. Areas include: belly/waist, hips, back, thighs, or upper arms. At your first session, your practitioner will discuss with you the best ways we can help you meet your goals. We generally recommend at least 3 sessions per body area.
-
What are the side effects?The potential side effects of Synergistic Sculpting include but are not limited to: NOISE - During the process, individuals may experience "noise" spreading through the body. Remember that "sound waves" produce noise and as the sonic waves pulse through and destroy fat, the client may experience this as sound. It can be annoying, but is in no way harmful. HEAT - The process produces heat and clients will occasionally report this on their skin. If it becomes uncomfortable, let your practitioner know and they can apply additional products to reduce friction and heat. FATIGUE - Some people experience fatigue immediately and for a short period of time after a session. This is related to many factors including the release of toxins. Following the session guidelines will help to alleviate this. REDNESS - There may be transient redness that occurs due to contact with the device wand. It is not a concern and will go away on its own. BRUISING - There have been rare instances of mild bruising associated with this process. Clients who are anemic, taking aspirin, or bruise easily may be more likely to experience this. TIGHTNESS - Clients report a tightening sensation, often described as cramping, that is confined to the area being addressed. This is actually a good thing, though some individuals may find it uncomfortable or mildly painful. It will go away with time. THIRST - Clients have reported an increase in thirst after sessions. This is related to the body's method of encouraging increased water intake in order to flush the fat and toxins from the body. INCREASED URINATION - This is normal as the body is ridding itself of the byproducts of the fat cells which have been destroyed. NAUSEA - A few clients have reported nausea, likely as a result of increased toxins in the system. Flushing the system with water and activity will aide in eliminating this. HYPERLIPIDEMIA - Some of the disrupted fat cell contents that are released into your lymphatic system may enter your bloodstream and cause a temporary rise in triglycerides. This is a potent energy source, and therefore can be alleviated by burning this energy source through activity/exercise. If the recommendations set forth in our post-care instructions are followed, this risk is minimized. However, if a client has problems with high triglycerides or hyperlipidemia, this process may not be appropriate and we suggest consulting with your primary care provider prior to proceeding.
-
How much time should there be between sessions?Sessions should be at least 48 hours apart to allow your body to expel the fat cells and toxins released during a session.
-
How can I prepare for my session and optimize my results?We highly recommend that you drink 2-3L of water for the days leading up to and after your session. This will optimize your body's ability to expel the fat cells and toxins that will be released during your session(s).
-
How many sessions do I need?The number of sessions you need depends on the person, type of fat, and what your goals are. If there is one specific part of your body that you would really like to see results with, we recommend doing a package of at least 3 sessions to target that specific spot.
-
How long do the results last?Just like with diet or exercise, you will maintain your fat loss for as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Many clients report that their sessions serve as a motivator to continue their health journey!
