Frequently Asked Questions
Does radio frequency and ultrasound actually work?
We are seeing amazing results with these energies and they have all been clinically tested and proven to work. Our EXILIS ULTRA 360 technology combines Ultrasound with Radio Frequency energy, the Ultrasound energy pushes the Radio Frequency deeper into the fat cells, destroying the fat cell quicker and more efficiently! Our Ulfit HIFU technology also uses Micro Focused Ultrasound energy to tighten the skin and SMAS muscle layer on the face and neck, and Macro Focused Circular Ultrasound for fat reduction on the body.
What makes it better than fat freezing?
We find that although fat freezing is effective on most areas of the body, it is an older technology, and the risks of indentations are there due to the applicator and cooling method. There is also a small risk of Paradoxical Adipose Hyperplasia, which means the fat cells can react and become enlarged instead of reduced. With our technology, we are using frequencies that will give an even reduction on every area that is treatable.
Where does the fat go?
After our treatments destroy the fat cells, they are transported through our lymphatic system as metabolic waste. The liver then excretes this waste from our body. This is why increased water intake is important throughout your treatment plan, to give the most effective results!
What should I expect?
Before your treatment, you will have a complimentary consultation with our team, who will devise a treatment plan with you that will help you achieve your goals. Before each appointment, you will complete an InBody 570 Composition Scan – which we use to track your results and to keep you in check with your body. Photos will be taken before and after each treatment to record your progress with the treatment you will be having, and our friendly team will always be available for any queries you will have throughout your treatment plan.
Is the technology safe?
Absolutely – all of our devices are TGA approved and are of medical grade. We do not risk our client’s safety by investing in low-grade devices, our technology has been clinically proven and undergone extensive trials to prove its safety and reliability.
How long does each treatment take?
The treatment time is dependent on the area you wish to have treated, it can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours – our expert therapists will go through a thorough consultation with you before your treatment and they will personalise a treatment plan for you with the timings of each treatment.
Are the results permanent?
This depends on the concern you have – with our skin tightening treatments, results can last up to 18 months before you need a maintenance treatment! With our fat reduction treatments, as long as you are maintaining a healthy balanced lifestyle and do not have any major fluctuations – your results are permanent!
When will I start to see results?
With most of our treatments, we can sometimes see an instant result! This result is only a portion of the final results – which are seen up to 12 weeks after your personalised treatment plan has been completed.
Does it hurt?
None of our treatments should cause you extreme discomfort. Our treatments are comfortable for our clients, and there are a variety of settings within our protocols that we can adjust to suit each of our client’s tolerance. Most of our clients relax and watch Netflix while their treatment is underway.
Emsculpt
What is EMSCULPT?
EMSCULPT is the only non-invasive device on the market that can both build muscle and burn fat simultaneously – it is the original, and the best!
How does EMSCULPT work?
By using High Intensed Focused Electro Magnetic (HIFEM) technology, EMSCULPT induces around 20,000 forced muscle contractions per treatment! This both multiplies and builds muscle fibres, whilst also reducing the fat cells in the treated area.
What areas can be treated with EMSCULPT?
EMSCULPT can treat the abdomen, buttocks, triceps, biceps and calves, providing an average growth of 16% in the muscle.
Am I a suitable candidate for EMSCULPT?
We have a range of different clients using EMSCULPT to achieve their goals!
- Anyone looking to build and improve their current physique
- Athletes and body building competitions looking for increased definition
- Clients who experience back pain and are looking to strengthen their abdominal wall
- Women who experience muscle separation during pregnancy
What is the treatment time?
20-30 minute treatment with minimum of 4 sessions. Get in touch with us and we’ll work together with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your specific goals after the initial consultation.
What areas can be treated with EMSCULPT?
EMSCULPT can treat the abdomen, buttocks, triceps, biceps and calves, providing an average growth of 16% in the muscle.
What does the treatment feel like?
EMSCULPT procedure feels like an intensive workout. You will feel a contraction and tightness in the area treated and that is totally normal. The next day you may feel some tenderness, and this is a good thing as the treatment is working. EMSCULPT has a pulling sensation – you can physically feel and see the muscles contracting underneath the paddle.
How soon will I see results?
You begin to feel tangible results right after the treatment. Positive results are usually reported two to four weeks after the last session and continue to improve for several weeks following the treatments. We will book you in for an 8-week review to track your progress. Clinical studies have also shown that clients have seen results for up to a year after their series completion! Keeping a healthy balanced lifestyle is key to maintain your long term results.
Can other competitive devices also burn fat?
Plain and simply. No! If a competitor device is making claims of any fat reduction with their muscle building device, then we suggest you ask for your money back.
How many treatments will I need?
A standard course of EMSCULPT only requires FOUR sessions to see amazing, defined results! After an 8 week review, we can reassess – most of our clients are more than happy with the results, but if you want that extra pump and increase the muscle even further, an additional one or two treatments can be undertaken.
Is there any downtime?
There is no downtime with EMSCULPT, the next day it may feel like you have you have had a workout. Our HIFEM technology incorporates a ‘tapping’ mode in the treatment, which increases blood flow and helps release lactic acid from the muscle, making it much more comfortable post treatment.

EXILIS ULTRA 360° uses unique 360° radiofrequency and ultrasound technology to tighten and shape all areas of the body. It tightens and firms, whilst reducing fat pockets, with no downtime!
How does it work?
Using adjustable cooling, we work on different layers of fat pockets, so the energy travels to every cell in the area we are treating, heating the cell and causing apoptosis, which is cell death. It also treats the surface of the skin, boosting the collagen and elastin to strengthen and improve the appearance of the skin.
Am I a suitable candidate?
This is a perfect treatment for clients who are looking to reduce fat with the added benefits of tightening the skin at the same time, using the combination of radiofrequency and ultrasound energies to maximise results. It can also be used on the face, neck and decolletage as well as any area of the body, to solely boost the collagen and elastin in these areas.
What is the treatment time?
Depending on the treated area and skin condition, most patients undergo between 4 treatments scheduled 7 to 10 days apart. Each treatment of a specific area usually takes from 20 to 60 minutes.
What does the EXILIS ULTRA 360° treatment feel like?

We target multiple layers of the dermis to deliver effective lifting of the skin and the SMAS (Superficial Muscular Aponeurotic System) layer – which is the surface layer of the muscle that gives structure to the face. The results we achieve are similar to a face-lift, but we achieve this non-surgically!
