I was a little afraid of the cost and time commitment, but stayed the course because, as I said, I mean business. A total of 20 sessions is suggested to see maximum results, after which you can go into maintenance mode with one monthly treatment. Each treatment costs $150 and takes about 45 minutes, and upon my first consultation, I was told that I may see results after the first session, but should commit to at least six or eight sessions, getting two a week, to start reaping the benefits. This “mechano-stimluation” of the skin’s surface is proven to stimulate a deep biological response to eliminate fat cells, reduce cellulite, firm the skin, improve lymphatic drainage and overall reshape the contours of your body–all without any cutting, sucking, or other unpleasantries.
