All of our clients have different body types, areas of concerns and personal goals so this will vary from one person to the next. At Bare Bodies we will have an initial consultation to address your specific areas of concern and give you a personalized treatment plan that we believe will give YOU the best results.

As a general rule, most people can see results as soon as their first visit, however most will want to complete a series of 6-12 treatments to achieve optimal results.  These can be performed as soon as 3 days apart, but should not be more than 7 days apart to receive the full benefits from Ultrasonic Cavitation and Radio Frequency.

• Individuals who are within 15-20 pounds of their targeted weight and not significantly overweight tend to get the best results from these treatments.
• People who have areas of pinchable fat that do not respond to exercise alone.
• Those looking to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of cellulite while reducing fat, by stimulating collagen production.
• Candidates who maintain healthy lifestyles, including diet, exercise, and good daily water intake as this treatment aids in sculpting and contouring the body, and is not directed at weight loss.

Please book a consultation with us! This first appointment is a little longer so we can really get to know you, your goals, and what areas you’d like to focus on. We’ll talk through your expectations and take a close look at what treatment plan will work best for you before getting started.

Sometimes we may recommend a different treatment if we feel it will give you better results—and we’ll always be honest and upfront about that. If you’re a great candidate and ready to begin, we will be able to start your first treatment during this visit!

We can’t wait to meet you and help you feel your best.

Your initial appointment will start with a consultation where we discuss your goals, target areas, and make sure you’re a good candidate for treatment. We will also take before photos and measurements so you can clearly track your progress over time and see your results as your body changes.

Once you’re ready, we’ll begin with ultrasonic cavitation. A gel will be applied to the area, and a handheld device will be moved over your skin. You’ll hear a light buzzing or ringing sound, but the treatment itself is generally comfortable and painless. This step helps target and break down stubborn fat cells.

Next, we’ll use radio frequency on the same area. You’ll feel a warm, soothing sensation as the device heats the deeper layers of your skin. This helps tighten, firm, and improve overall skin texture.

After your session, you can return to your normal activities right away—no downtime needed. We’ll also go over aftercare tips, like staying hydrated, to help support your results.

Most clients describe the experience as relaxing, warm, and easy—and love how their skin looks and feels afterward.

While radio frequency is a great stand alone treatment for skin tightening, at Bare Bodies we always pair it with cavitation treatments. Cavitation works by breaking down stubborn fat cells hence reducing volume in the targeted area. Radio frequency is then used to heat the deeper layers of the skin, which helps tighten and firm the area. This prevents the skin from appearing loose after the volume decrease.

It boosts collagen production, improving skin texture and creating a smoother, more sculpted finish.

Together, they help you achieve both fat reduction and skin tightening for more noticeable, balanced results.

At Bare Bodies, all candidates who would like to receive ultrasonic cavitation and RF treatments should begin with a consultation appointment at our salon, where you will meet with one of our experienced estheticians to discuss your case history, goals, and contraindications to determine whether you are eligible to receive these treatments and if this is the correct treatment for your body type and desired results. You will receive a tailor made treatment plan and be able to start immediately if eligible.

Bare Bodies offers two enhancements to this service:

Vibration Plate (Highly recommended but not a must). Benefits include:

• Stimulates the lymphatic systems drainage
• Helps reduce fluid retention and bloating
• Supports circulation
• Enhances the “post-treatment flush” after cavitation/RF
• Gives a light muscle toning effect

Vacuum RF:

This is RF with the added benefit of suction. It is typically recommended for areas that are more prone to cellulite and dimpling or need more lifting (most often the glutes and thighs).

Benefits of vacuum RF include:

• Encourages lymphatic flow
• Helps sculpt curves 
• Smooths and firms the skin’s surface
• Improves circulation in cellulite-prone areas (like thighs and buttocks)
• Help reduce the “dimpled” appearance over time
• Makes the appearance of cellulite look less noticeable with consistent treatments

Note:
Cellulite is very common and completely normal, and no treatment removes it 100%. Vacuum RF helps soften its appearance and improve skin texture, especially when done in a series and paired with hydration, movement, and healthy habits. Your technician will discuss if this option be beneficial for you at your consultation.
