Body treatments at a glance
Body treatments are non-surgical services such as body contouring devices, cellulite treatments and lymphatic massage. Contouring devices use energy like cold or heat on chosen areas. Cellulite treatments use devices or hands-on methods. Lymphatic massage is a gentle manual technique. Most are done in a series, with the number varying. A licensed provider looks at your health, medicines and the area you want to discuss, and decides what is suitable. Requests from this site go to a provider in or near Washington.
Device choice and the area
Body contouring devices come in several types. Some use cold, some use heat or radiofrequency, and some use other energy such as ultrasound or magnetic fields. Each has applicators shaped for certain areas. A licensed provider chooses based on the area, your skin, the tissue, and your health history.
Ask which device they use and why it fits the area you are asking about. Ask whether they have more than one type. If they say a device is unsuitable for you, ask what would be, including whether a doctor's visit makes more sense.
Getting ready for a body treatment consultation
A few notes make a body treatment consultation more useful:
- the area or areas you want to ask about
- your health conditions, especially heart, circulation, nerve or skin conditions
- implanted devices or metal implants
- medicines and supplements, including blood thinners
- recent surgery, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding
- any past body treatments and how you found them
Bring the notes, photo ID and your questions. A licensed provider uses them to decide what is suitable.
Questions about body treatments
What counts as a body treatment?
At a med spa, body treatments usually mean non-surgical services such as body contouring devices, cellulite treatments and lymphatic massage. Contouring devices apply cold, heat or other energy to chosen areas. Lymphatic massage is a gentle manual technique. A licensed provider explains what they offer.
Are body treatments the same as surgery?
No. The body treatments on a med spa menu are non-surgical, with no incisions or general anesthesia. If you want to ask about surgery, a surgeon is the right person to see. A licensed provider at a med spa can tell you when that is the case.
Does this site perform body treatments?
No. This site has no staff, providers or clinic. It passes your consultation request to a provider in or near Washington. That provider decides what is suitable after a consultation, and cost is set by them.
