Frequently Asked Questions

For fat removal, the device has two functions: ultrasound and radio frequency (RF).

The ultrasound handpiece uses low-frequency waves to create microbubbles which burst to disrupt and shred the fat cell’s membrane. Once shredded, the body will detox the shredded material through the lymphatic system and out of the urine.

By shredding and processing fat tissue, we see amazing body contouring results. The treatment is painless, and the results can be measured immediately after, most clients see about one inch lost per 40 minute treatment.

Clients often describe the treatment as relaxing, like a hot stone massage.

The radio frequency (RF) handpieces heat the deeper layers of skin to tighten it and improve the appearance of cellulite. There is no downtime after treatment, but results are not immediate. The body needs a week to produce new collagen and elastin, so that is how far treatments should be spread apart.

Package your RF treatments into packs of 3 or 6 and see amazing skin tightening & refining effects.

You will see results immediately after your first 40-minute session. We will take tape measurements and before-and-after pictures to show you real-life results. Optimal outcomes are usually achieved after 3 to 6 treatments spaced about a week apart.

Unlike many competitors, Ultimate Contour is completely painless, using sound waves to disrupt fat cells without generating heat or harming surrounding tissues. Approved treatment areas include the abdomen and flanks.

Ultimate Contour is FDA-cleared as a Class II device and has been rigorously tested in numerous clinical studies. It has few associated risks and requires no downtime, with results that can be seen immediately and continue to improve over the following weeks and months.

Overall, the ultrasound modality is extremely safe, operating at temperatures that do not exceed 92° Fahrenheit on the skin surface.

If you want to reduce fat and cellulite or improve skin laxity, then you are most likely a good candidate for Ultimate Contour. Weight Achievement Center will create a customized treatment plan that is tailored to your needs and goals.

Ultimate Contour uses low-frequency ultrasound and is FDA-cleared for abdominal circumference reduction in clients with a BMI of 25 or greater.

However, we have also had amazing results with clients that are under 25 BMI. With these types of clients, we see less total circumference loss, but we see much more contouring and revealing of underlying muscles.

People who want to optimize their looks or target small pockets of fat are great candidates. Our best clients typically have a healthy lifestyle and “fluffy” fat. This type of client may see a loss of 2 inches or more in a single 40-minute ultrasound treatment. Visceral fat clients also see great results but at a slower rate than fluffy fat clients.

Yes, Ultimate Contour uses radio frequency (RF) energy to tighten skin. The device has two RF handpieces, which use tri-polar RF energy to heat the deeper, collagen-rich layers of the skin. This process causes collagen to contract and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, reducing skin laxity and creating a smoother appearance.

Approved treatment areas include the abdomen, arms, thighs, knees, and calves.

The effects of ultrasound treatments can be long-lasting or permanent, particularly if a healthy lifestyle is maintained. Improvements in skin quality from RF treatments typically last between 6 to 12 months.

Maintaining these results depends on factors such as calorie intake, exercise, and overall lifestyle. A proper health consultation, balanced diet, and regular exercise are essential to sustaining the desired treatment effects.

In many cases, Ultimate Contour can eliminate or greatly reduce the appearance of cellulite, although this is not guaranteed. Cellulite is typically influenced by genetics, body fat percentage, skin thickness, and age.

Ultimate Contour is FDA-cleared for the reduction in the appearance of cellulite and targets the deposits of fat under the skin, tightens tissues, and increases blood circulation to help reduce the appearance of cellulite over time.

Ultrasound treatments: Each treatment is typically 40 minutes.

Most people need 3-6 treatments, spaced about 1 week apart, to achieve desired results. When new clients come in, we always do a 40-minute ultrasound on the abdomen with before and after pictures* and measurements.

You can treat with Ultrasound every 3 days, but once a week seems to work best for most clients.

RF treatments: Each treatment is also typically 40 minutes. We may work on different areas for 10 to 20 minutes each, depending on how many treatment areas you treat. To track progress, we also take before & after pictures* and measurements. *For your privacy, we never show your photos to the general public without your written consent.

For ultrasound treatments, you will see body contouring improvements immediately following the treatment. Most clients see a full inch or more in reduction in their abdomen after just one 40-minute session.

If you treat an abdomen with ultrasound for 6 treatments, most larger clients can expect to lose a total of about 4 inches or more of fat. However, the full effects of the treatment typically take 6-8 weeks to be seen as the body processes the destroyed fat cells.

For RF treatments for skin tightening and cellulite, it typically takes around a week to see the results of each treatment. RF treatments are spaced at least 1 week apart. This is because the body needs that time for the regrowth of collagen and elastin.

Multiple treatments are generally needed to achieve desired results, and when RF treatments are packaged into groups of 3 or 6 treatments, you will see impressive results and a noticeable difference in before and after pictures.

Keep in mind that many clients qualify for a $99 new client visit, this is a great opportunity to learn more about the procedure and see if it is right for you.

The $99 new client visit includes a new client intake form, pre-photos, and measurement, the 40-minute ultrasound treatment, follow-up consultation with after-photos, measurements, and health assessment to consider additional ultrasound or RF treatment packages.
