At Sunshine Health, our body contouring treatments combine cutting-edge technologies to target stubborn fat, tighten skin, and improve overall body contours without the need for invasive surgery. These techniques work synergistically to reshapre your body and restore confidence.
This minimally invasive procedure uses microinjections of customized Fat melting compounds along with vitamins, enzymes, and plant extracts, to target fat cells and stimulate their breakdown, Mesotherapy is highly effective for reducing localized fat deposits and improving skin tone.
Radiofrequency heats tissue, stimulating collagen production, boosting circulation, and breaking down fat cells for improved body contouring and weight loss
EMS stimulates muscles, enhancing toning, firming, and muscle definition, which helps improve body contour.
With a combination of EMS and PDO threads – a non-invasive “butt lift” can be achieved. By toning the gluteal muscles with EMS then lifting with PDO threads, a natural, non-surgical butt lift can be performed.
Frequently Asked Questions about Lipolysis/Mesotherapy
What is lipolysis or mesotherapy?
Lipolysis, also known as mesotherapy, is a non-surgical treatment that uses targeted injections to break down localized fat deposits. The dissolved fat cells are then naturally eliminated by the body.
Who is a good candidate for this treatment?
Ideal candidates are individuals with stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise. It’s not a weight-loss solution but rather a body contouring treatment for those near their ideal weight.
What areas can be treated?
Common areas include:
- Double chin (submental fat)
- Abdomen
- Thighs (inner and outer)
- Arms
- Love handles (flanks)
- Bra bulge
- Saddlebags
How does the treatment work?
The treatment involves injecting a specially formulated solution (e.g., deoxycholic acid or phosphatidylcholine) into the fat layer under the skin. This solution breaks down fat cells, which are then metabolized and excreted by the body.
Is the procedure safe?
Yes, the procedure is generally safe when performed by experienced providers. Side effects are typically mild and include swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site.
Does the treatment hurt?
You may feel mild discomfort during the injections, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. A topical anesthetic can be applied to minimize discomfort.
Does the treatment hurt?
You may feel mild discomfort during the injections, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. A topical anesthetic can be applied to minimize discomfort.
Is mesotherapy safe?
When performed by a trained professional, mesotherapy is generally safe. Side effects are minimal and may include mild swelling, bruising, or redness.
Who is a good candidate for mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is suitable for individuals looking for a non-invasive way to reduce stubborn localized fat pockets, rejuvenate and improve skin tone and cellulite. A consultation will determine if it’s the right treatment for your goals.
Can mesotherapy help with weight loss?
Mesotherapy is a localized weight-reduction treatment and is effective for targeting stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. You may see weight reduction on the scale, improved skin contour, improved muscle tone or all of the above.
What should I avoid before and after mesotherapy?
- Before: Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and anti-inflammatory drugs for at least 48 hours.
After: Avoid intense exercise, direct sun exposure, and alcohol for 24-48 hours. Follow your provider’s aftercare instructions.
How is mesotherapy different from liposuction?
Mesotherapy is non-invasive and does not require surgery, anesthesia, or significant downtime. While liposuction removes fat through surgery, mesotherapy gradually destroys or liquifies fat through micro-injections.
Can mesotherapy be combined with other treatments?
Yes! Mesotherapy is often paired with treatments like radiofrequency, microneedling, or EMS therapy for enhanced results. In addition to nutritional and fitness education and consultation, your results can be long lived.
How do I know if mesotherapy is right for me?
Schedule a consultation with Sunshine Health to discuss your goals and determine if mesotherapy aligns with your aesthetic or wellness objectives.

Frequently Asked Questions about EMS
What is Electro Muscle Stimulation (EMS)?
EMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscles, helping to improve muscle tone, firmness, and contour by mimicking the natural muscle contractions that occur during exercise.
How does EMS work for body contouring?
EMS delivers targeted electrical pulses to muscles, causing them to contract and relax. This helps build muscle strength and improve muscle tone. It targets the muscles more effectively than an intense workout.
Is EMS safe?
Yes, EMS is generally safe when performed by trained professionals. It uses low-frequency electrical currents that are non-invasive and well-tolerated by most people. However, it’s not recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions.
How long does an EMS session take?
EMS sessions typically last between 20-30 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the specific treatment plan.
How many EMS sessions are needed for body contouring?
Most people will need multiple sessions (usually 6-12) to see noticeable results. The exact number can vary depending on individual goals, muscle tone, and the treatment area.
When will I see results from EMS?
Results can be seen after a few sessions, with improvements in muscle tone and body contour typically becoming noticeable after 2-4 weeks. However, the best results are achieved with consistent treatment.
Are the results from EMS permanent?
While EMS can improve muscle tone and body contour, maintenance is key. Regular sessions may be required to maintain results, as muscle tone can gradually diminish without continued stimulation or exercise.
Is EMS painful?
EMS is generally not painful, but some people may feel a mild tingling or muscle contractions during treatment. It’s typically described as a “muscle workout” feeling.
Who is a good candidate for EMS body contouring?
Ideal candidates are those looking to improve muscle tone, firm up certain areas, and contour the body without invasive surgery. EMS is most effective when used in combination with a healthy lifestyle, including diet and exercise.
Can EMS be combined with other treatments?
Yes! EMS can be combined with other body contouring treatments, such as lipolysis, RF and micro-needling or PDO thread lifting to enhance results by improving muscle tone and overall body appearance.
Are there any side effects or risks?
Side effects are rare but can include temporary muscle soreness or skin irritation. It’s important to follow post-treatment guidelines to minimize any risks or complications.
Is there any downtime after EMS?
No, EMS treatments typically require no downtime, and you can resume your normal activities immediately after a session. Some people may feel slight muscle fatigue, similar to after a workout.
Frequently Asked Questions about PDO Threads
What are PDO threads?
PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are absorbable suture material used to lift and contour the body and face. They stimulate collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.
How do PDO threads work for body contouring?
PDO threads are inserted under the skin to create a lifting effect. The sutures have small particles that lift the skin with lifting of the threads. The threads and particles on the threads stimulate your natural collagen and elastin production.
Is the PDO thread procedure painful?
- The procedure is typically well-tolerated. Local anesthesia or numbing cream is used to minimize discomfort during the treatment.
How long does the treatment take?
The PDO thread procedure for body contouring typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
How soon will I see results?
Results can be seen immediately after the procedure but will continue to improve over the following weeks to months as collagen production increases.
How long do PDO threads last?
The threads dissolve over time, usually within 4-6 months. The results last anywhere from 12-24 months, depending on factors like skin type and lifestyle.
re there any side effects?
Some mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site may occur, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days.
Who is a good candidate for PDO thread body contouring?
Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity. It’s a great option for people who want to avoid surgery but still want skin tightening.
Can PDO threads be combined with other treatments?
Yes! PDO thread treatments can be combined with other procedures like Botox, RF and micro-needling or dermal fillers for enhanced results.
Is there downtime after PDO thread treatment?
Minimal downtime is involved, but you may need to avoid strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for a few days after treatment.
