Body Shaping Treatments

How body treatments work

Cryolipolysis cools fat under the skin in a controlled way (+4 to −9 °C); the fat cells break down and the body clears them. EMS uses an electromagnetic field to trigger strong contractions, including in deep muscles. Body Shape combines ultrasound and radiofrequency, whose heat acts on fat under the skin and stimulates collagen. OlyLife Longevity Reset runs on the OlyLife THz Tera-P90+ system (terahertz technology and a pulsed electromagnetic field, PEMF); it is a relaxing wellness session, not medical treatment.

Injection-based fat reduction is underLipolysis, and focused ultrasound for body areas underHIFU SMAS lifting.

What the treatment involves

At the consultation the goal, health and medication are discussed and the method and areas chosen. No anaesthesia is needed.

• Cryolipolysis: up to 30 minutes per area; usually 1–2 sessions per area, 6–8 weeks apart.
• EMS: one area per session, 1–2 times a week, a course of 4; maintenance once a quarter.
• Body Shape: 30–60 minutes; 6–10 sessions, up to twice a week.
• OlyLife Longevity Reset: about 20 minutes seated, feet on the device’s metal panels, intensity on one of 20 levels; single sessions or a series.

When the treatment is not suitable

• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• inflammation, a wound or an active skin condition in the area;
• acute illness, fever or recent surgery;
• cancer and other serious chronic diseases;
• a pacemaker or other electronic implant (EMS, Body Shape, OlyLife); for EMS also metal implants, epilepsy and menstruation;
• for cryolipolysis, marked cold sensitivity (such as Raynaud’s syndrome); for Body Shape, varicose veins in the area.

The final decision is made by the specialist at the consultation.

After the treatment

Cryolipolysis can leave redness, numbness or swelling for 1–7 days. After EMS, muscles may ache for 1–3 days, as after a workout, and bowel activity may briefly increase. After Body Shape the skin may be red or sensitive for a couple of days; OlyLife needs no recovery. Usually recommended: plenty of water, no hard training that day and no alcohol for 24 hours after Body Shape.

Frequently asked questions

Do body treatments help with weight loss?

No. Cryolipolysis, EMS and Body Shape are for shaping areas where fat does not respond to diet or exercise. Weight changes little; lifestyle also matters.

Cryolipolysis or Body Shape: what is the difference?

Cryolipolysis acts on fat with cold; 1–2 sessions per area are usually enough. Body Shape uses heat from ultrasound and radiofrequency, also targets skin tone and is done as a course of 6–10 sessions. The specialist chooses based on the fat layer and skin.

Does it hurt?

Cryolipolysis feels cold, with a vacuum pull in the first minutes that usually fades. EMS feels like strong muscle contractions, Body Shape like warmth. Intensity can be adjusted.

When are results visible, and do they last?

After cryolipolysis, first changes usually appear in 3–6 weeks and the final result within 12 weeks. EMS results are assessed 2–4 weeks after the course. Destroyed fat cells are cleared, but the remaining ones can grow with weight gain.
