Body Program Structure: Combining Shaping, Circulation and Skin
Three Body Lines
- Volume: local fat — cryolipolysis and focused-ultrasound reduction (cryolipolysis, ultrasound fat).
- Circulation: edema and metabolism — drainage, pneumatic, magnetic/vibration (drainage).
- Skin: laxity and cellulite appearance — RF/vacuum tightening (vacuum RF).
The Combination Frame
| Phase | Focus | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | Assessment + circulation base (feel and adherence) | Weekly |
| Months 2-3 | Volume strikes (per-area courses) | Per device protocol |
| Months 3-4 | Skin line follows (post-reduction tightening) | Weekly-biweekly |
| Ongoing | Homecare + monthly maintenance | Monthly |
The order is logic, not habit: circulation first builds feel and trust, volume middle delivers visible change, tightening last handles post-reduction skin retraction — mirroring the surgical “remove then tighten” sequencing.
Assessment Nodes
- Baseline: circumference, photos, feel scores, weight (state the stable-weight premise).
- Monthly: same-condition retests; redo any measure off by >5%.
- Endpoint: month 3-4 review — next phase or maintenance.
FAQ
Client expects to “lose 10 pounds”?
Set the positioning before selling: body programs treat “local and contour”; weight is systemic energy balance. Expectation mismatch is the number-one body-program complaint source.
Who gets referred out first?
High BMI seeking weight loss, venous disease, unresolved postpartum timelines — referral is more professional than forcing it (assessment principles in postpartum recovery).
