Are you struggling with stubborn cellulite that just won’t go away no matter how hard you try? At In My Own Skin Aesthetics & Spa in Lake Oswego, OR, we want to help you look and feel your best. We offer Slimspec™ Acoustic Massage, a cosmetic treatment designed to improve the appearance of cellulite and give you smoother skin.
What Is Slimspec™ Acoustic Massage?
Slimspec™ Acoustic Massage is an FDA-approved cosmetic device that uses acoustic radial waves to treat cellulite and reshape the body. Unlike invasive procedures, Slimspec™ offers a safe and painless alternative that targets those problem areas effectively. Whether used on its own or in combination with other treatments, such as ThermiSmooth®, Slimspec™ delivers noticeable results without downtime or significant discomfort.
How Does Slimspec Work?
Slimspec emits acoustic radial waves into the treated area. These waves trigger a physiological response, increasing metabolic activity and improving circulation. Here's a closer look at how it works:
- Reduces Tissue Edema: Acoustic waves help reduce tissue edema, one of the initial signs of cellulite. By reducing edema, the treatment decreases skin puffiness, making the skin appear smoother.
- Increases Tissue Permeability: The waves increase the permeability of the tissue, allowing fluids and toxins trapped in fat cells to be released. These are then naturally drained by the lymphatic system.
- Boosts Metabolic Activity: The acoustic waves stimulate the treated area, boosting metabolic activity and encouraging the breakdown of fat cells, which helps to smooth out the skin's surface.
Areas Treated by Slimspec
Slimspec Acoustic Massage can treat various areas of the body where cellulite commonly appears. These areas include:
- Abdomen: Target stubborn belly fat and achieve a flatter, more toned midsection.
- Thighs: Smooth out the dimpled appearance of the thighs for a more contoured look.
- Hips: Reduce the appearance of cellulite on the hips and enhance overall body shape.
- Buttocks: Lift and firm the buttocks, reducing cellulite and improving skin texture.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
When you arrive for your Slimspec Acoustic Massage appointment at In My Own Skin, we'll begin with a consultation to discuss your goals and assess the treatment areas. We'll make sure you're comfortable as we prepare the targeted area for the procedure.
Our trained specialist will then use the Slimspec device to apply acoustic radial waves to the desired areas. The treatment is painless and typically feels like a deep tissue massage. You can immediately resume your daily activities right after your session, as no downtime is required. We may provide specific aftercare instructions to maximize your results.
Expected Results and Longevity
You should start to see results from Slimspec treatments within 6-12 weeks, depending on your level of cellulite, BMI, and skin condition. While the treatment offers significant improvements, the longevity of the results can vary.
We recommend scheduling regular maintenance sessions and following a healthy diet and exercise plan to sustain the benefits.
Combining Slimspec With Other Treatments
For enhanced results, you can combine Slimspec with other body contouring treatments such as CoolSculpting® and Thermi®:
- CoolSculpting®: When used together, Slimspec™ and CoolSculpting® provide a comprehensive approach to body shaping. CoolSculpting targets fat reduction, while Slimspec focuses on smoothing and firming the skin.
- Thermi®: Combining Slimspec with Thermi treatments can enhance skin tightening and overall texture, offering a more youthful appearance.
