Before and After Care for Body Sculpting
Pre-Session Preparation for Maximum Results
Setting yourself up for success before your treatment is crucial to achieving the best possible outcomes. Follow these simple steps to ensure a smooth experience and get the most from your treatment.
1. Drink Plenty of Water
Hydrate throughout the day before and after your session. Proper hydration promotes circulation and helps flush out toxins, amplifying the treatment’s effectiveness.
​
2. Wear Comfortable Clothing
Dress in loose, comfortable attire to your session for easy movement and to avoid post-treatment sensitivity.
3. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine for 24 Hours Prior
Both alcohol and caffeine can dehydrate and affect blood flow, which may impact the treatment results. Skip them for at least a day before your appointment.
4. Have a Light Meal, Avoid Heavy Meals
Make sure you’ve had a light, balanced meal before your session. Avoid heavy meals immediately beforehand, as these can cause bloating or discomfort and may reduce the session’s effectiveness.
5. Limit Sodium Intake
Keep your sodium intake low the day before your treatment. Reducing salt can decrease water retention, helping your body respond better to the treatment.
6. Avoid Intense Exercise Beforehand
Skip strenuous workouts on the day of your session to avoid inflammation or soreness that could affect results.​
7. Communicate Any Medical Conditions or Concerns
Let your body sculptor know about any health conditions or recent injuries. Sharing these details helps tailor the treatment safely to your needs.
8. Ask Questions and Stay Informed
If you have any questions or concerns, bring them up before your session. Your comfort and understanding contribute to a smoother, more successful treatment.
Achieve Lasting Results with Proper Aftercare
Preparation is key to setting the stage for great results, but aftercare is where you make sure those results stick. By following the right steps, you’ll help your body retain the improvements, enhance the longevity of your transformation, and keep your confidence on point. The effort you put in after your treatment is what ensures you get the most out of every session.
Expect Temporary Redness or Marks
Mild redness or temporary marks may occur after certain treatments, such as wood therapy and vacuum therapy. These usually fade within a few hours. For any minor bruising, using Arnica gel or pills can help reduce discoloration and support quick healing.
Stay Hydrated
Hydration is key to optimizing your results and aiding recovery. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps your body flush out toxins and supports smoother, more effective outcomes.
Gentle Massage
Lightly massage the treated area to boost circulation and help your body adjust. This gentle action can further support the sculpting process.
Apply Sunscreen
Protect the treated area with a high-SPF sunscreen if you’ll be outdoors. Sun protection is key to avoiding irritation or discoloration post-treatment.
Commit to a Healthy Lifestyle
Regular exercise and balanced nutrition are essential for maintaining the effects of all treatments. A healthy lifestyle will help sustain and even enhance your results, regardless of the treatment type.
Avoid Heat and Tanning
Steer clear of hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, and tanning for 24–48 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation. This allows your skin to heal without stress.
​
Delay Showering
Allow at least 4–6 hours before showering to let your skin settle after treatment. This pause helps with comfort and effectiveness.
​
Skip Alcohol and Caffeine
Avoiding these for at least a day post-treatment can prevent dehydration and maximize your sculpting results.
​Plan Follow-Up Sessions
To sustain and refine your results, book follow-up treatments as recommended by your body sculpting specialist. Consistency can be key to achieving your ideal look.
