ThermaSlim

An ideal candidate is also someone who is starting to lose elasticity in their skin and is showing early signs of sagging and wrinkles.

 We do have a Chin / Neck treatment that focuses on the neck area, with a specific emphasis on reducing the appearance of a double chin.

Results largely depend on the chin and the amount of adipose tissue (“fat”) that is under the skin. We also need to combine skin tightening with the fat reduction to ensure we don’t leave the client with loose skin.

 No. The applicator will slowly get warmer till your skin reaches the needed temperature and stays within that temperature range. If you do feel it’s too hot, just let our technician know and they can easily lower the temperature a bit.

The treatment experience is regularly compared to getting a hot-stone massage.

Clients may experience some intermittent “hot spots”, but should not experience any notable discomfort.

 It depends on the area(s) being treated. We usually reserve 30 minutes for each  appointment, where multiple areas can be treated during that time. 

This really depends on the individual, and what type of treatment we’re doing.

Much of the results also depend on the individual, their body, and their overall health habits. The better the individual takes care of themselves, the more likely the better result.

General rule of thumb is to plan to have at 6-12 treatments per area. If we don’t see trackable results within 4-5 treatments, we should take time to reassess the treatment protocols.

The treatments are cumulative. After your final treatment, your results will continue to improve for up to 3-4 months.

Skin tightening can take a bit longer, and may require some form of maintenance. At a certain stage we don’t produce collagen & elastin as we did when we were younger. As such, we need to do something to stimulate their regrowth.

Much of this depends on how much reduction or tightening someone is hoping to achieve, and how well the individual takes care of themselves. Also, everyone’s body responds to treatments differently.

We recommend a minimum of 8 treatments per area. Changes can be, and usually are, subtle and it takes time to fully realize the benefits of the treatment. The more reduction desired, the more treatments that will be needed.

We generally recommend 7-10 days between treatments.

 Clients may experience:

• The area feeling warm to the touch
• Some temporary redness in the treatment area
• Mild inflammation
• Bruising
• Possibly more frequent bathroom visits (body flushing out the dead fat cells)

On rare occasions:

• Mild bloating
• Mild rash

 We do not recommend ThermaSlim for those with the following conditions:

• Active inflammation and/or infection (in the treatment area)
• Cancer (active or recent)
• A degenerative neurologic disease or any other disease around the treatment area that’s stimulated by heat (e.g. herpes)
• Pregnant or are undergoing an IVF procedure
• Installed pain pumps
• An Internal defibrillator/pacemaker (butt, thigh treatments ok)
• Metal implants (in the treatment area, excluding dental) 
• Uncontrolled thyroid gland disorder
• Varicose veins (in the treatment area)
• Skin-related autoimmune diseases (in the treatment area)
• Silicone implants and/or injections (in the treatment area)

 Diamond Polar can treat these areas if you have sagging or wrinkled skin anywhere on your body. The most common areas are the face, chest, neck, upper arms, knees, and stomach. 

 Usually, we recommend six to eight treatments for the face and neck. Sessions should be performed once a week. After the first series of sessions, treatment can be done once every four months. 

 There is little downtime with Diamond Polar. Your skin may appear pinkish due to the device’s heat, but this goes away after about three hours. 

 You can see noticeable results within two weeks following the first treatment but give it six weeks after the final treatment.
