Frequently Asked Questions

Unique You Body Sculpting specializes in the super snatched technique of non-invasive, non-medical body sculpting to help you achieve the unique contour of your body shape! Being trained in the super snatched technique will allow us to help you achieve the results you want with less session times and a plan unique to you.

Anyone who has begun the journey to a healthier you is the ideal candidate. Our services work best when used in combination with other healthy lifestyle habits such as eating healthy, exercising, and drinking sufficient amounts of water every day. Contouring is not meant for weight loss, but for decreasing inches. People with certain health conditions and pregnant woman should not have contouring completed. We suggest women be 6-8 weeks post partum and if you are breast feeding, pump and dumping is recommended for 48 hours. Waiting for 4-6 months after a surgical procedure for sculpting is ideal.

The treatments we offer are safe and effective for all skin types, sizes and colors. No long-term nor short-term health effects have been reported. Our staff is trained in the proper techniques and use of the machines. Patients with pacemakers or other like implants should avoid this treatment. 

Pros

•  The procedure is painless, non-invasive, has no scaring.
• Recovery time is minimal to nonexistent, and side effects like mild bruising and redness are rare. 
• Body sculpting is much less expensive than surgical procedures that yield the same results, even with a series of multiple treatment sessions.  
• Each treatment is relatively quick, taking less than an hour for most patients. 
• Results are considered permanent when paired with a healthy diet and regular exercise. 

Cons

• It’s a real commitment. Most people need at least three (and up to 9) weekly treatments to see their desired results. 
• It takes up to three months after your last treatment to see your final results. 
• Like liposuction and other fat reduction treatments, this isn't a weight-loss procedure. To be a good candidate, you’ll need to be already at (or close to) your goal weight and looking only to remove a stubborn fat deposit. 

Coolsculpting: As the name implies, Coolsculpting uses controlled cooling to freeze fat cells (called Cryolipolysis). This process kills the cells by causing them to collapse. Once they’ve collapsed, other cells come in to consume them.

Body Sculpting Treatments: Our sessions use three distinct modalities to target stubborn fat:

1. The first modality is ultrasound, which uses low frequency sound waves to permanently destroy fat cells.
2. The second is radiofrequency, which uses a thermal effect to heat the skin and cause collagen tissues to regroup and contract, creating a lifting effect.
3. The third is microcurrent, which uses low levels of energy to repair skin at a cellular level. 

 We consider body sculpting to be superior to Coolsculpting for the following reasons:

1. Yes, both treatments boast less pain, risks, side-effects, downtime and recovery than surgery. However, body sculpting procedures are much more gentle and associated with fewer side effects than Coolsculpting. The risks with Cryolipolysis are due to the body’s exposure to cold temperatures.
2. Following a body sculpting session, you will see immediate results. On the other hand, Coolsculpting can take weeks to work. 
3. While both treatments destroy fat, body sculpting does so much more to contour the body. As stated above, Radiofrequency and Microcurrent are also included in this three-pronged approach to body-sculpting and fat burning. As a result, it’s a great option to tighten, tone and repair skin at the cellular level.
4. Generally speaking, the body sculpting cost per session is less than the Coolsculpting price.
