PHYSIQ
Body Contouring
PHYSIQ is the latest, most advanced, and award-winning body treatment technology. Physiq delivers heat and energy to the targeted areas for optimal results with no downtime.
How Does PHYSIQ Work?
PHYSIQ targets tissues and muscle with its unique STEP technology. STEP programs are customized sequences of timed phases of deep heat and muscle stimulation. The deep heat phase from PHYSIQ’s super luminescent diode matrix (SDM) targets tissue while electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) creates muscle contractions to re-educate the muscle in the targeted area.
Can I Treat More Than One Area?
PHYSIQ has four applicators which may be used in sets of two on multiple areas in one single session.
The EMS and SDM can be combined or done individually. The procedure can be done in these common areas (abdomen, legs, arms, buttocks, hips, back, and flanks) and more. A maximum of three areas may be treated in one day.
What Makes PHYSIQ a Virtually Pain-Free Treatment?
First, the deep penetration of the heat combined with sapphire cooling at the skin’s surface leads to only a minimal increase in the temperature of the epidermis. This allows the patient to be comfortable without sacrificing efficacy. Next, the cycling between heat and EMS with STEP ensures the optimal temperature is reached and maintained throughout the treatment. Lastly, patients have a control button to make any adjustments for comfort without impacting the efficacy of the session.
What Should I Expect Before, During, and After my Treatment?
BEFORE your PHYSIQ treatment, if necessary, you will want to shave the targeted area. It’s a good idea to increase your water intake prior.
DURING your treatment you may feel warmth at the applicator site and you will feel muscle contractions during the EMS phases. Should you feel discomfort, you may use the patient control button which adjusts the energy modulation without impacting the effectiveness of the treatment.
AFTER your treatment, it is important to massage the area with the PHYSIQ body lotion that was designed to complement your body treatment. One bottle of the PHYSIQ body lotion will allow you to continue this massage, twice daily, between treatments.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The recommendation is 5 sessions with each session spaced one week apart. EMS may be used alone to maintain results after full STEP sessions. However, everyone is different so it is important for you to talk to your provider about those areas you’d like to target and your goals.
Is It Safe?
PHYSIQ is an FDA-approved device for both body contouring and muscle toning. Physiq's unique combination of 850 nm diode laser and EMS (electromagnetic stimulation) allows simultaneous treatment of fat and muscle.
