The best candidate is someone who has pockets of excess body fat that they can’t get rid of with diet and exercise alone, and who doesn’t want surgery. An ideal candidate is also someone who is starting to lose elasticity in their skin and is showing early signs of sagging and wrinkles.

For the fat reduction treatments, the number of treatments varies from person to person. You will discuss what is best for you and your goals with your Skin Therapist. With the skin tightening and cellulite reduction treatments, clients typically receive 6-8 treatments per area. Again, the exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated.

Fat treatments are done once every 4-6 weeks. Skin tightening, circumferential reduction, and cellulite reduction treatments are done once a week.

Just make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams or makeup before your treatment. Remove all jewelry around the area being treated.

Each Body Contouring fat treatment lasts 25 minutes. Skin tightening, circumferential reduction, and cellulite reduction treatments are around 30 minutes each, depending on the area being treated. You will be booked in for around 1 hour per appointment.

A Bliss Body Contouring fat treatment will start with a cooling phase for a few seconds where you’ll feel a slight chill from the applicators on your skin. You will then gradually feel the skin getting warmer. Once the temperature builds, the applicators will switch to cooling mode again for a brief period to maintain the therapeutic temperature in the fat layer and to keep the treatment as comfortable as possible. This process of heating and cooling will continue for the duration of your treatment.

A Body Contouring treatment shouldn’t be painful. You may feel a bit of discomfort as the skin gets warmer—this is expected as part of the non-invasive process for targeting the underlying fat—but it should still be manageable

The area may look a little flushed and feel tender, and some patients may experience a little bit of swelling, firmness, or bruising. All of these are normal and common following a Body Contouring treatment. The tenderness may take up to two weeks to resolve but it should be mild enough to not interfere with your daily activities. Of course, if something doesn’t feel quite right, always consult with your treatment provider.

There is no downtime and no physical restrictions that you need to worry about. You should be able to resume your regular daily activities immediately after completing a Body Contouring treatment.

We recommend massaging the treatment area for five to 10 minutes, one to two times a day. Otherwise you don’t need to do anything after your Body Contouring treatment.
