Frequently Asked Questions

 
 

How many treatments will be needed?

Everyone is different and has different goals, so it’s hard to say without a physical assessment! Most people will benefit from a series of at least 3 to 7 treatments, but we can sculpt ‘til the client has reached THEIR personal goal. Look at some of the images in our gallery for examples of how many sessions yield visible results on real people!

Will you lose weight?

You very well may lose weight, however, we are focusing on VOLUME. As long as you simply MAINTAIN the number on the scale, you will see results! You will lose inches, and be slipping into those old jeans or that dress in no time!

How does it work?

Please see the brief explanations here for a basic explanation. If you would like to have an in-depth conversation about the processes that take place when we freeze away your fat, please schedule a consultation or training session!

Is it painful?

This may not be our most relaxing spa treatment, but it’s not painful! The wood therapy is a intense type of massage and may leave you feeling like you just had a workout, and the ice therapy is definitely cold, but you should not feel any pain, only mild discomfort at certain points of the treatment.

How long do results last?

As long as you at least MAINTAIN the number on the scale from Day 1 of treatment, you will be able to enjoy the effects of the treatment.

What is the difference between “Gem Sculpt” & the “Gem Sculpt Ice Slice”?

Gem Sculpt is both a treatment and a product! Ice Slice is the name we have given our herbal ice lotion blends. Specialists use the Ice Slice during a Gem Sculpt treatment, in conjunction with the infrared sauna wraps, wood therapy, and lymphatic drainage massage. The Gem Sculpt product line also includes wrap gels, RF/ cavitation gels, mesoserums and more!

How soon until you see results?

Many people see a difference immediately after just the first treatment, however small! A noticeable difference is apparent by 3 to 5 treatments, and you may continue to see improved results for up to 3 months after your last session!

Is there any downtime?

NO! This is completely non-invasive treatment! There are no needles, no scalpels, NO DOWNTIME! Just results.

What will happen to untreated areas if I gain weight?

Just like surgical liposuction and tummy tucks, you can still gain weight after treatment! When you gain weight, all your fat cells expand at a consistent rate; when you lose weight they shrink - but the total number remains the same. Treatments like our Fat Freezing Body Sculpting, Coolsculpting, Thermage, liposuction and tummy tucks all target and destroy or physically remove fat cells. The remaining fat cells still have the ability to expand and contract! Untreated areas will appear to have more rapid weight gain if you do not maintain your starting weight after treatment.

Is there any reason or condition that would prohibit me from safely receiving any body contouring treatments?

Please visit our TREATMENT CONTRAINDICATIONS page for full listing. Pregnancy/ breastfeeding, active cancer, recent surgery, and recent use of blood thinners are the most commonly encountered contraindications. Cold sensitive disorders such as cold urticaria, Reynaud’s disease, and cyroglobulinemia are also contraindications to the ice sculpting portion of the treatment.

what’s in a gem sculpt ice slice?

Gem Sculpt Ice Slices come in several varieties, so it depends which blend we’re talking about! Each blend is a unique mix of herbs, essential oils, natural clays, and botanical extracts that have been proven to help tighten skin and reduce fat. Ingredients used in our products are supported in their abilities by various medical journals and academic research publications.
