Frequently asked questions

Is aesthetic medicine for the body effective?

Aesthetic medicine methods are highly effective, with natural, scar-free results.
However, it is necessary to carry out the minimum number of sessions recommended to obtain optimal results, and to adapt them according to the results.
Aesthetic medicine, like cosmetic surgery, must be accompanied by a healthy lifestyle, including a good diet and regular exercise, to ensure lasting results.

How do you prepare your body for an aesthetic medical treatment?

For aesthetic medical procedures on the body, preparation varies according to the type of procedure.
Generally speaking, no special preparation is required. However, a few practices may be recommended to maximize results. It is advisable to be well hydrated before an aesthetic medicine procedure, to eat a healthy diet and to engage in regular physical activity.
We also advise you to avoid alcohol in the 48 hours preceding the procedure, to avoid any risk of dehydration.
Finally, it’s best not to apply any creams or lotions to the areas to be treated on the big day.
The aim is to guarantee optimum results and to avoid interfering with the use of the various instruments.
Please note, however, that depending on the technique, a local or general anaesthetic may be used.
This is particularly the case for CO2 Laser or our BodyTite® – Morpheus8® solutions. In addition, before each treatment, you should have a consultation with a specialist.
You can explain your expectations and ask any questions you may have.

What is aesthetic body medicine?

Aesthetic medicine is defined as medical procedures designed to improve the body’s appearance and silhouette.
These medical procedures are called non-invasive, because they do not involve any incision in the skin.
It is this non-invasive character that distinguishes aesthetic medicine from cosmetic surgery.
Aesthetic medicine for the body involves a number of actions, including muscle toning and fat removal. Aesthetic medicine procedures are less invasive than cosmetic surgery, and enable you to resume your activities more quickly.
However, to achieve optimum results, it is essential to adhere to the recommended number of sessions.

When can I resume my activities after a body contouring treatment?

As with results, the effects of aesthetic body treatments vary according to the type of procedure.
However, as this is not a major operation like cosmetic surgery, recovery time is very short.
There is no downtime after the treatment, so you can return to your daily routine immediately, or even a few hours or days afterwards.

Is it possible to combine several aesthetic medicine treatments for the body?

In recent years, combination treatments have become increasingly popular in aesthetic skin care.
This involves combining two or more treatments instead of one, with the aim of maximizing effects.
At Claris Clinic, certain body treatments are complementary and can be used during the same period for optimum results, although the treatments are singularly effective.
The B-Tonic treatment, for example, can be combined with Cryopilolysis and Morpheus 8®.
However, we recommend that you ask your specialist during your preliminary consultation about the possibility of combining certain treatments.

How to choose the right aesthetic medicine treatment for the body?

To choose the right treatment for you, it’s important to start by asking yourself what your needs are.
If you have a healthy lifestyle, and despite all your efforts, you still can’t get rid of certain fatty deposits, then Cryolipolysis is certainly the solution for you!
Cryolipolysis targets and destroys fatty deposits in specific areas without damaging the skin, making it an interesting alternative to liposuction.
If you prefer to reshape and refine your body, with an immediate return to activity, the B-Tonic solution is worth considering!
It builds muscle and eliminates peripheral fat, resulting in toned skin and sculpted abs.
If you’re looking to treat sagging skin or cellulite, the BodyTite® / Morpheus8® treatment is ideal.
These radiofrequency methods firm the skin and can also help to reduce stretch marks or scars by stimulating collagen.
If you’d like to treat more than one problem at the same time, it’s possible to combine B-Tonic with one of the other treatments on offer!
Their complementary nature maximizes results.
