Face & Body contouring

Body Contouring

Along with skin treatments, at Facelab, you will have access to advanced technology to help reduce fat and improve your body shape. Facelab utilises multiple radio-frequency and RF-ultrasound devices from BTL Aesthetics. This technology has been clearly shown to reduce body fat over time. Popular treatment areas include the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, arms, along with the face, chin, and neck.

Our body-contouring device, VANQUISH-ME, is entirely non-contact and non-invasive, which makes it the only hands-free and contactless body shaping device of its kind in Australia.

VANQUISH-ME offers several advantages over other forms of treatment:

• It can treat a large area of the body in a single session
  
• You don’t need to get undressed for the treatment
  
• There is no recovery or 'downtime' time
• It can be performed simultaneously with facial rejuvenation or laser contouring on other areas

Face and body contouring with dermal tightening

Changes occur to the body that occur both on the surface and in the fatty tissues, muscles, and bones below the skin. These changes are often witnessed beneath the lower jaw, creating the familiar 'double chin' appearance. These changes can result in thick "jowls", deepened of the naso-labial folds, and associated hollows that appear in the upper cheek and temple region.

The change of appearance is often due to a reduction in collagen, and the loss of ligament and fascia elasticity in your face. These thin membranes are responsible for organising and compartmentalising the facial tissues. Over time, fat deposition, muscle tone loss, and gravity also contribute to the changes in your facial structure.

At Facelab, we treat each area and patient with a unique customised approach. While laser therapy or fillers are recommended in some cases,, a combination of skin tightening treatments may also be required.

Advanced Protégé treatment

Facelab is proud to also offer advanced RF and Ultrasound treatment with BTL's Protégé device. Protégé is unique because it delivers radio-frequency and ultrasound to the target area simultaneously, which results in skin tightening and fat reduction.

The Protégé treatment works by heating and cooling tissues at different depths of skin and underlying tissue. This process stimulates the breakdown of old and denatured collagen while simultaneously inducing the production of new healthy collagen. This process, called neocollagenesis, resulting in renewed skin elasticity.

The ultrasound component delivers energy with a specific wavelength and power ratio to target fat cells directly. There is no collateral damage to adjacent structures, with the energy absorbed within the walls of fat cells causing them to breakdown and release cellular components. These components, mainly triglycerides, are then cleaned up by the body's metabolic processes and eliminated.

Results from Protégé can be seen almost immediately in some cases, with most people experiencing results within seven days. We recommend repeating the treatment until you are happy with the result.

RF ultrasound dermal tightening involves absolutely no downtime, which means treatment can be performed during your lunch break or before the working day.
