Body Contouring FAQs

How many sessions will I need?

Most clients need 6–8 sessions (1–2 per week) for optimal fat reduction.

Is it painful?

Most describe it as a warm massage. Radiofrequency (RF) may feel like a hot stone treatment.

When will I see results?

You may notice initial tightening within 2 weeks; full results appear by 12 weeks as collagen rebuilds.

Contraindications: Pregnancy or nursing, pacemakers, active cancer, BMI over 30, liver/kidney disease.

Hijama (Cupping)

What’s the difference between dry and wet cupping?

Dry cupping improves circulation; wet cupping includes small incisions to draw out toxins.

How often should I get it?

Every 4–6 weeks for maintenance; 2–3 times/month for acute issues.

Do the bruises hurt?

No — they’re painless, but we recommend avoiding sun exposure for 48 hours post-treatment.

Contraindications: Blood thinners, hemophilia, severe anemia, open wounds.

BHRT for Women FAQs

How soon will I feel better?

Many women notice improved energy and sleep within 3–4 weeks; full benefits typically appear within 3 months.

Are bioidentical hormones safe?

Yes — when properly monitored by a licensed provider, they are considered safer than synthetic hormones (Mayo Clinic, 2023).

Will it cause weight gain?

No — properly dosed BHRT can actually improve metabolism and reduce fat retention.

Contraindications: Estrogen-sensitive cancers, uncontrolled hypertension, history of blood clots.

Metabolic Reset

Can I do this while on medications?

Yes! We’ll customize your plan to work alongside your current prescriptions (including diabetes-friendly options).

Are the recipes gluten- and dairy-free?

All meal plans can be adapted for allergies or food sensitivities.

Is exercise required?

No — but gentle movement is encouraged to support digestion and results.

Contraindications: Active eating disorders, late-stage cirrhosis.

Chronic Disease Management

Will this replace my doctor?

No — we collaborate with your existing providers (e.g., sharing glucose logs or labs).

Do you prescribe medication?

Yes — and we also support lifestyle changes that may reduce the need for long-term medication use.

How often are check-ins?

Weekly for the first month, then biweekly as your condition stabilizes.

Contraindications: Unstable angina, recent stroke, dialysis dependence.

Telehealth

What conditions can you treat virtually?

We offer lab reviews, hormone consultations, and chronic disease coaching. (Note: We do not prescribe controlled substances virtually.)

Can I use insurance?

We don’t bill insurance directly, but provide superbills for potential FSA/HSA reimbursement.

What if I need in-person care?

We’ll coordinate referrals to local partners such as labs or imaging centers.

Contraindications: Medical emergencies (e.g., chest pain, severe bleeding).
