Facial & Body Contouring
At Mirage, we use a variety of non-invasive body contouring technologies that allow you to achieve a natural-looking, slimmer appearance in a way that is both safe and effective.
Our Technologies
Ultrasonic Cavitation
Ultrasonic Cavitation is nonsurgical fat reduction treatment that uses low frequency sound waves to break down stubborn fatty deposits. This process is achieved by using isolated sound waves to vibrate the layer of subcutaneous fat below the skin. These specific sound waves create small bubbles in the fat tissue causing friction that breaks down the cell membrane, and liquifies fat into fatty acids and glycerol. The liquid fat then leaves the cell where it is picked up by the lymphatic system and eliminated through urine, sweat and carbon dioxide. This result is inch loss and a slimmer figure. This technology also stimulates collagen regeneration, promotes digestion, removes fine lines, promotes anti-aging and skin rejuvenation.
Laser Lipo
Laser Lipo is a safe, effective procedure that can help remove excess stubborn fatty tissue in areas that are normally resistant to dieting and physical exercise. The Laser Lipo technology uses heat from fibre-optic lasers at various wavelengths to melt body fat. The laser energy produces heat which penetrates the subcutaneous fat cells creating tiny holes in the cell’s membranes, similar to that of cavitation. Over a short period of time the fat deposits are simply absorbed and expelled through our body’s natural metabolic process. The introduction of heat into the treated area also stimulates collagen production to give a smooth, tightened and sculpted result.
Radio Frequency
Radio frequency skin tightening treatment can shrink fat cells while simultaneously tightening and toning the skin. This revolutionary treatment works by applying a gentle heat in the deep, collagen rich layers of the skin and actually stimulates the skin’s own natural renewal of collagen (which as we age, does not renew nearly as fast as when we were younger), resulting in smoother, tighter and younger looking skin. Combined with our suction handpiece, this technology works exceptionally well to elongate connective tissues resulting in the reduction of cellulite!
Before & Aftercare Instructions
Aftercare is crucial for achieving the best results from our contouring treatments. We can encourage your fat cells to release their contents, but it is up to the client to ensure they do their part to help the body dispose of the released fat.
- To ensure your body responds well to treatment, drink 2L of water prior to and following your treatment.
- For three days post-treatment drink 2L water every 24 hours. We recommend always carrying a large bottle with you to encourage water intake.
- Avoid eating large meals 2 hours prior to and 1 hour after your treatment.
- Do NOT have caffeine the day of your treatment. If possible, avoid caffeine 24 hours before your treatment. Normal caffeine intake can resume after treatment.
- Refrain from drinking alcohol for 2 – 3 days following your treatments. Your liver will prioritize the metabolism of alcohol before fat and this could hinder your results.
- Diet: Follow a low carb, low sugar diet for best results.
- A minimum of 20 minutes of elevated heart rate cardio exercise is required post-treatment. This is best to be done immediately after the treatment, and for three days following. This is to ensure the stored energy released during the treatment process is burnt off.
- Topically stimulate the treatment area following each session. You can use a dry brush or exfoliating mitt in the shower moving in a circular motion to promote movement of the released fat. You can also use moisturiser or oil applied liberally to massage the treatment area. Do this daily to prevent fat and toxins from becoming stagnant and difficult to eliminate.
No treatments on the tummy/abdomen area 3 days prior to, or during your menstrual cycle, as this can cause heavy bleeding.
The body requires three days to properly eliminate the fat and toxins after each treatment. For most clients, we recommend between 8 and 12 contouring treatments for best results.
