What is involved in Vacuum Shaping?

A specialised vacuum handpiece is applied to the treatment area and gently lifts and massages the skin and underlying soft tissue.

Controlled suction and mechanical movements are used to stimulate circulation and manipulate the treated tissue.

The intensity can be adjusted according to the treatment area and individual comfort. You may experience a firm pulling or massage sensation during treatment.

How can Vacuum Shaping improve your concerns?

Controlled vacuum massage can temporarily improve circulation and assist with the movement of fluid within the treated area.

The mechanical action can also help improve the appearance of uneven skin texture and cellulite, creating a smoother-looking contour.

Results are progressive and are best maintained through regular treatments and a healthy lifestyle.
