At Hourglass Body Sculpting, we combine advanced technology and proven techniques to deliver non-invasive treatments designed to help you achieve your body goals. Below is a detailed look at the science behind each treatment:
Laser Lipolysis
Laser Lipolysis uses low-level laser energy to penetrate the fat cell membrane. This process creates temporary pores in the fat cells, causing them to release their contents—triglycerides, water, and free fatty acids—into the surrounding interstitial tissue. These released contents are then processed and eliminated by the lymphatic system. This method effectively reduces the size of fat cells without damaging surrounding tissues, offering a safe and non-invasive alternative to liposuction.
Ultrasonic Cavitation
Ultrasonic Cavitation employs low-frequency ultrasonic waves to target and disrupt fat cells. These waves create micro-bubbles of vapor within the fat cell structure, causing them to implode in a process called cavitation. The broken-down fat is converted into a liquid state and naturally processed by the liver and lymphatic system. This treatment focuses on breaking apart stubborn fat deposits while preserving surrounding tissues, offering precise results.
Vacuum Therapy
Vacuum Therapy uses mechanical suction to create negative pressure on the skin and subcutaneous tissue. This stimulates blood circulation and lymphatic flow, which aids in the removal of toxins and excess fluids. The negative pressure also promotes fibroblast activity, which enhances collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer and smoother skin. The result is improved skin elasticity and a more sculpted appearance.
Radio Frequency (RF) Skin Tightening
Radio Frequency Skin Tightening works by delivering thermal energy deep into the dermal layers of the skin. This controlled heat stimulates the fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, the essential proteins responsible for skin firmness and elasticity. Additionally, the heat causes immediate collagen contraction, giving the skin an instant tightening effect. Over time, as new collagen is formed, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful in texture.
Wood Therapy
Wood Therapy utilizes anatomically designed wooden tools to apply consistent pressure to the skin and subdermal layers. This technique breaks down fat deposits and fibrous cellulite by manually stimulating the adipose tissue. The mechanical manipulation of the tissue also increases lymphatic drainage and blood circulation, helping the body detoxify and improve overall skin tone and texture. This ancient method relies on natural, repetitive motions to encourage the body’s own processes for detoxification and contouring.
