Frequently Asked Questions: Vacuum Therapy (Colombian Butt Lift)

What is Vacuum Therapy?

Vacuum therapy is a non-invasive massaging technique that helps to lift your skin and build muscle via a mechanical device equipped with suction cups. Unlike the traditional BBL, vacuum therapy lifts and tones your butt without having to go under the knife; meaning fantastic results can be achieved without the use of incisions/fat grafting, without spending a fortune on surgery, and without facing the high mortality rate of a traditional BBL.

In addition to offering similar effects to those of a surgical butt lift, we also utilize Vacuum Therapy for the treatment of cellulite, which comes with every session. In addition, we perform body contouring sessions using another method of Vacuum Therapy to sculpt the body non-invasively and reduce fat in select areas.

What are the benefits of Vacuum Therapy?

At Pretty As Possible, our specialists pride themselves in providing Vacuum Therapy services to help our clients increase size and improving the shape of your booty through lifting and building the muscles in the butt. For the overall area, we stimulate the Gluteus Maximus for more volume and tone. For hip dips specifically, we also target the Gluteus Medius muscles.

Our service eliminates cellulite and improves skin texture and tone through gentle exfoliation. This benefit comes with every session!

Choosing Vacuum Therapy with the specialists at Pretty As Possible means feeling confident and sexy while saving time and money, as opposed to the exponentially higher cost, risks, and time off that is associated with traditional plastic surgery. Since Vacuum Therapy is a non-invasive and non-surgical procedure, our clients can safely achieve natural, painless results with our certified specialists, with no down time to recover.

How does it work for Non Surgical Butt Lifts?

Vacuum therapy works through suction and massage, via a mechanical device equipped with special cups that glide over and placed on the body. Results are achieved through use of a mechanical device which smooths out the skin and relocates fat cells from the thighs to the bum. This process is followed by the suctioning of the bum cheeks to add some plump to your rump! Through a combination of gentle suction, massage, and painless, high frequency ultrasonic sound waves, our certified Vacuum Therapy specialists are able to gently stimulate the lymphatic system to break down and naturally process fat cells from specific areas of the body through your metabolic system. No down time is necessary after treatments, but we recommend drinking plenty of water to help flush out the broken-down fat cells from your system naturally. Furthermore, Vacuum Therapy helps to release toxins and water retention as well as stimulate muscles for added toning and additional health benefits. Since Vacuum Therapy sessions at Pretty As Possible stimulate the lymphatic system, any exercise performed within 24-48 hours of your session will have maximized effects on fat loss!

Specifically for butt lifting and toning, our Butt Lifting results are attained by:

Decreasing muscle tension and exfoliating the skin for smoother, sexier, and more toned skin and body shape
Stimulating the muscles and strengthening your glutes with results equivalent to over 1500 squats per session
Increasing lymphatic flow to remove toxins and water retention, stimulating the middle layers of skin for increased toning effects
Decreasing the appearance of cellulite and stimulating collagen production through increased blood flow and gentle massage

HIP DIP REDUCTION

Like the Butt Lift, this treatment is a non-surgical, non-invasive reshaping process involving the use of our mechanical vacuum therapy modality. This process effectively relocates the fat cells from the legs and thighs to fill and correct your hip dip thus smoothing and rounding out those hips!

Are there any side-affects of Vacuum Therapy sessions?

Vacuum therapy is a non-invasive procedure, so you can expect no side effects aside from mild swelling and redness of the skin that lasts for less than 48 hours. Since Vacuum Therapy stimulates the muscles, your muscles may feel a bit sore, but it depends on the intensity at which you would like to stimulate them. Our certified specialists ensure your comfort and safety during the entirety of the procedure.

Is Vacuum Therapy painful?

For some people there is no sensation at all, and for some there is mild discomfort, depending on your tolerance level and the intensity you would like for the procedure. At Pretty As Possible, we always ensure we are stimulating your muscles at the rate you can handle in order to get you the best results pain-free.

Is it safe to do Vacuum Therapy Butt Lifts?

Vacuum therapy is a safe alternative to a surgical BBL if performed by a specialist with the training and certifications such as those possessed by our specialists at Pretty As Possible.

You will be required to complete a short questionnaire before your first session to ensure you are a part of the vast majority who are suitable candidates* for Vacuum Therapy on different areas on the body. If you have any specific medical concerns however, please consult your healthcare provider before your session.

Am I a suitable candidate for Vacuum Therapy Butt Lifts?

Most people are excellent candidates for Vacuum Therapy! Generally, if you are in good health (no serious skin/medical disorders) and want to improve your body without surgery, you'd be a great candidate! For all our services, you can start seeing results right away. Call us at 416-741-1333 for a free telephone consultation, or book a session now!

How often can I get treatments done?

For Butt Lifts, we typically recommend between 3 and 6 days between sessions on the same area to give time for any temporary redness/bruising to completely disappear and for your muscles to rebuild before your next session. However, no down time/time off school or work is needed!

Are Vacuum Therapy results permanent?

You can expect long lasting results that are more permanent after 5-10 sessions, depending on your body goals. After that, like any muscle, in order to keep it strong you may need to activate it every once in a while to maintain results.

Frequently Asked Questions: Ultrasound Cavitation (Non-Surgical Lipo)

What is Ultrasound Cavitation?

A relatively new technique, Ultrasound Cavitation is used predominantly for fat reduction. Ultrasound Cavitation is a noninvasive, painless and nonsurgical body contouring technique that’s performed as an alternative to liposuction. It improves the appearance of stretch marks, loose skin, scars and wrinkles. This ultrasound technology converts fat cells into liquids that are drained by the body’s natural filtration system.

Cavitation is a natural phenomenon based on low frequency ultrasound and is the sculpting of the body without the need for anaesthetic. It is a risk free procedure avoiding scars, discomfort and downtime and is seen as a safe alternative to liposuction. The ultrasound produces a strong wave of pressure that target the fat cell membranes. The membranes cannot stand the pressure thus disintegrating into a liquid state which is naturally eliminating, resulting in instant fat loss. We use an apparatus that is applied to the skin and sends ultrasonic waves to the fat cells in the target area and vibrates them. Ultimately causing an implosion break down of the fat cell, allowing the body to move the fat naturally through its lymphatic and urinary systems as a waste product. The end result is a contouring effect leaving you with a more toned and sculpted appearance.

How does 3D Lipo Cavitation work?

A specially designed hand piece is applied to the target area by a fully trained therapist. The hand piece transmits strong low level ultrasonic waves which consist of a compression – expansion method which travel in high speed cycles. Rotating this cycle, back and forth will cause an infinite quantity of micro-cavities (micr-bubbles) to enlarge. It is the progressive enlargement of the micro-cavities that turn to collision & implosion, producing emission of shockwaves that favour emulsification & elimination of the fat tissues in the target area (this phenomena is called ‘cavitation’). The lymphatic & urinary system easily vacuum’s this liquid from the body, resulting in fat reduction.

Where are fat cells stored?

The size of the fat cells in each person can differ greatly, regardless of size or weight but the number of fat cells are the same. Fat is primarily stored inside adipocytes as triglycerides and can be found between the muscles and the skin membrane.

What happens to the released fat?

Excess fat is released in to the interstitial space between the cells during and following the cavitation treatment. Here it is metabolised to glycerol and fatty free acids. Glycerol that is water-soluble is absorbed by the circulatory system and used as an energy source. The insoluble fatty free acids are transported via the liver and kidneys and processed as if fatty acids from foods and then eliminated naturally from the body.

How long does it take?

Typically a single fat cavitation session lasts forty minutes when treating a single part of the body. A minimum of 72 hours is required between each session so the body can finish the elimination of the fat. For the best fat reduction results, between six and ten sessions is recommended.

What can be treated with the lipo cavitation system?

All areas with localised fat such as thighs, abdomen and the buttocks are the most appropriate to be treated. The treatment works on Cellulite, the reduction of general fat and for skin tightening. For Cellulite the ultra sound focuses on the superficial fat tissue. Best results are achieved when the ultrasound is applied in conjunction with the radio frequency.

Who is suitable?

A full assessment during the pretreatment consultation will determine your suitability. People who experience cardiac or vascular diseases, carry a pacemaker should avoid this type of procedure. Similarly, if you are pregnant or breast feeding. If you are in any doubt, please consult with your GP.

Is it safe?

Yes. This is a nonsurgical procedure that is non-invasive and requires no recovery time.

Can I lose weight with Ultrasonic cavitation?

Cavitation is not designed specifically to lose weight, more so to reshape the body. It is particularly effective in the reduction of the adiposity (love handles) that are hard to reduce through diet and exercise. The treatment offers similar results to liposuction as it removes the cellulite and prevents it from recurring without damaging the vascular system.

What are the instant results I can expect?

Some clients have experienced up to 5cm of circumference reduction after a single session. More significant results will be experienced after the second and third treatment.

What are the long term results I can expect with 3D Lipo Cavitation?

Gradually over a number of weeks, the body will clear down the broken down fatty tissues which will result in a volume reduction of fatty tissues. It is not uncommon to achieve results of up to a 10 cm reduction in body mass by the end of the course of treatments. These results will be long lasting, provided you follow a healthy diet and exercise programme. If you over eat or consume too much alcohol, fat can easily be deposited back in to the body.

How long do I have to wait for another treatment?

The fat is eliminated from the body approximately 3 – 5 days following the treatment, therefore an interval of one week is recommended.

How many treatments will I need?

Between 8 – 12 treatments is recommended, however, you should experience significant results from the third session onwards.

Do I need to diet & exercise?

Drinking water is a necessary part of the fat elimination process so we recommend drinking 1.5 litres of water both before and after each session. A low calorie diet and regular exercise should be maintained in order to aid the body in naturally passing the fat through it’s own natural filtration system.

Are there any side effects to this treatment?

There are rarely any side effects, however there maybe the slight possibility of some transient redness, excessive thirst or nausea immediately after the treatment which can be resolved by simply drinking water.

What are the pre-treatment and post treatment guidelines?

Maintain a low calorie diet for a few days following the treatment to ensure the energy released is properly utilised and metabolised by the body. Drinking water is a necessary part of the treatment to facilitate the elimination of broken down fat. After the treatment, patients are able to return to their daily activities as usual.
