Frequently Asked Questions
Post-op care can begin as early as 72 hours after surgery. Usually, within 48 hours, the pain stabilizes and will decrease with each passing day. Some clients prefer to receive treatments at home during the first week, while others wait until they can comfortably drive themselves to begin treatment. Consult with your surgeon for personalized advice.
During the first week post op, the more frequently treatment can be administered the better. Clients who aim for 2-3 treatments a week notice improved outcomes faster. This, in combination with wearing a compression garment, taking brief walks and drinking lots of water will greatly reduce swelling and aid healing.
Lymphatic drainage massage is performed manually over bare skin. In the case of post surgical care, other tools such as cupping, Gua Sha tools, warm stones, and Wood Therapy can be incorporated depending on the stage of healing and the type of tissue presented.
Swelling may last anywhere from 3-6 months. Even afterwards, a client may experience increase in swelling. Factors such as diet, level of activity or exertion, quality of sleep, etc all impact swelling.

The science behind the PureSculpt® ice facial: This facial leverages the metabolic process of thermogenesis. It is a process whereby heat is created by burning calories. When ice is left on the body over a prolonged period of time, the body begins to create heat by burning fat cells. PureSculpt® ice is applied in a frozen state, thereby triggering thermogenesis and burning fat. Toxins are also released during this process and are removed via the lymphatic system.
No. This unique technique uses each instrument without harming the skin or tissue. Clients have reported feeling relaxed during the sessions.
While there are things that can help, cellulite will never go away. One way to diminish the appearance of cellulite and loosen and restore the fascia is by using WoodSculpt® treatments.
The friction of the wood tools has a toning effect on the skin. The tools help break down volume that has been crystalized over time. These layers will begin to be smoothed out creating a more plumped and healthier look.
Yes.
Level 1: soft cellulite localized on the thighs, abdomen, buttocks and arms. It is more apparent when you squeeze the skin together.
Level 2: edematous cellulite (swollen) often affects thighs and knees but are most frequently found in the lower legs. The skin is often painful when touched and dimpling can be seen when standing up.
Level 3: this type of cellulite is localized on the outer areas of the hips, thighs, and around the back and inside of the knees. This type of cellulite is hard and compact and painful when touched.
Depending on the degree of cellulite, the surface of the skin can look worse after the first few PureSculpt® treatments. Once treatment begins, there is a reduction in inflammation, fat cells, fluids, and toxins – all of which are removed by the lymphatic system. This will allow the fat cells and other particles that are more crystallized to become more visible on the surface of the skin. Subsequent treatments will begin to soften this volume and create a smoother surface. By the 3rd or 4th treatment, the area will appear more toned with less dimpling for levels 1 and 2. For level 3 cellulite, it will take more treatments (after 6) before results can be seen because it is more compact. Individual results may vary.

DURING: Some clients may experience the need to use the bathroom during the treatment. The areas worked may appear red or darker in appearance because of the increase in blood flow.
AFTER: Over the next 48 hours, the body will normalize to less inflammation, reduced pain, and increased energy levels. Recovery times from workout and injury are also improved.
