How many treatments will I need?
Depending on your individual situation (which we will assess during your consultation), you may need anywhere between 6 and 12 treatments for optimum results. You’ll start to feel the effects after the very first treatment and by the third treatment you should begin to see real improvements take place. Treatments are spaced at 4-5 days apart to allow your body to flush out the fat released during the process of Ultrasound Body Contouring.
