Photos are a powerful progress tool! Seeing visual changes over time helps track your transformation in ways the mirror and scale can’t. It’s also an incredible motivator—many clients don’t realize how much their body has shifted until they see the comparison.

​

Your body has a limited capacity for processing what it takes in—and when it’s busy metabolizing alcohol, caffeine, or sugar, it can’t focus on flushing out the fat cells released during your body contouring treatment. These substances can slow lymphatic drainage and reduce your results. Supporting your body’s natural detox systems by limiting these items helps you get the most out of your sessions!

If you’re caffeine-dependent, please don’t quit cold turkey—that can lead to headaches and fatigue. Instead, we recommend gradually weaning yourself down leading up to your session to support your body gently and effectively. Small changes make a big impact on your results!

​

YES! Your body is like an ocean—it needs to stay refreshed and flowing. Proper hydration helps your lymphatic system flush out the broken-down fat cells released during body contouring.

Buy some fresh mint or or fruit to add to your water to make it more fun if you like. 

​

For the best body contouring results, we recommend a nutrient-rich diet full of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Focus on foods that support your digestion and energy—and avoid anything you know you’re sensitive to or allergic to. Limiting sugar, processed foods, stimulants (like caffeine), and alcohol can help your body stay in detox mode and maximize fat elimination. Think of your meals as fuel for healing and transformation!
