Let's Rejuvenate Your Complexion at our Montreal location
Have you been feeling that your skin has lost its bounce and elasticity? Do the presence of fine lines bother you? Are you noticing more prominent nasal-labial folds or jowls? Our BBL Revitalize treatment induces your skin to build collagen, the foundational structure of the skin, in order to reverse the above processes.
Skin rejuvenation at our Montreal location with SharpLight™ systems gives a younger, glowing look to your skin. It simultaneously treats the three main elements of sun-damaged, environmentally-polluted and aging skin by coagulating blood vessels, eliminating pigmented spots and improving skin texture. Skin rejuvenation treatments are suitable for the face, neck, chest and hands; treating sun spots, small dilated blood vessels called telangiectasias; and skin textural changes such as small lines and enlarged pores. There are usually no signs of skin irritation after the treatment. The treatment feels like light rubber band snaps with mild heat. Our state-of-the-art Sharplight handpiece is actively cooled with a sapphire crystal to -8 degrees offering immediate relief. You can even do it over your lunch break.
Once treated, any vascular lesions present will take a few days to two weeks to be gradually removed. The pigmented lesions will initially appear darker and rise to the surface of the skin to be sloughed away. It is important to keep the skin moisturized and to not pick at them.
Once collagen production gets underway, the rejuvenating benefits will keep developing over time. Most clients do a series of treatments spaced at least 4 weeks apart for optimal benefits that build on each other and last. Once the collagen is created, it is an integral part of your skin, however, since we are continually aging over time, we recommend occasional maintenance treatments.
Combination Treatments that Work
Combining our Broad Band Light Revitalize treatment with our Facial Sculpting is a recipe for success. They both act to rejuvenate the skin with different technologies and at different depths and therefore the combination addresses multiple signs of aging. The treatments are compatible to be done in the same session, or can be done separately. Both treatments will create collagen and elastin over the long term, the holy grail of skin rejuvenation in Montreal because together they form the structure of the dermis.

Broad Band Light Revitalize FAQ
-
How effective is the treatment?Patients experienced an 18% increase in muscle mass, 20% reduction of fat, 11% increase in muscle firmness, skin tightening and 5x increase in metabolism after 5 sessions.
-
Is B-Shape TMC Health Canada approved?Yes! If ever in doubt about a device your local Medispa offers, you can look it up here: https://health-products.canada.ca/mdall-limh/prepareSearch?type=active
-
What will I feel during the treatment?The B-Shape T.M.C body sculpting treatment induces automatic magnetically-generated muscle contractions that cycle on and off during the treatment session. Each session has two 30-minute treatments with a rotation or movement of the applicators to optimally treat the concerns of each of our individual clients. The feeling can be intense but not painful at all. Many of our clients have even fallen asleep.
-
Is there any pain or downtime?The treatment is not painful. The contractions are intense and take a few minutes to get used to, therefore we increase the intensity very slowly and monitor closely. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment with no downtime whatsoever.
-
How quickly will I see results?It is possible to see immediate initial results after only 1-2 sessions in some cases. (Younger individuals and men have higher testosterone levels which help the body build muscle quickly.) Results build over the course of a treatment package, and continue to build after the sessions are completed. Optimal results are achieved within 6-10 weeks depending on age, gender, genetics and lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise.
-
How often can I do the treatments?Treatments are ideally done once to twice a week. For those with demanding schedules, it is no problem to space them apart by one week or even a bit more. The cumulative results will just take a bit longer to achieve.
-
How much does it cost?Our treatments range from $250+ per session depending on the number of treatments purchased (single vs package) and how many applicators are used simultaneously. NEW! the most economical way to follow our treatment program is to get a B-SCULPT membership.
-
Will I be sore after the treatment?Immediately following treatment there can be a feeling of fatigued muscles in the treatment area. This subsides gradually. In the following days the muscles can feel stiff and/or a little sore similar to the feeling after an intense workout.
-
If it is like I did 40,000 sit-ups, why don’t I have the soreness associated with that amount of exercise?The B-Shape machine has a program (pattern) of contractions that is designed to dissipate the lactic acid that would otherwise build up to very intense levels.
-
How does the technology work?The Magnetic Resonance technology induces “supra-maximal” muscle contractions that contract 100% of the muscle fibres in the treated muscle. These contractions bypass the brain and are much more intense than what can be achieved by voluntarily contacting the muscle with exercise.
-
What areas can be treated?Abdomen, obliques, buttocks, arms, calves, thighs, latissimus dorsi (lats), deltoid (shoulder) and pectoral (chest). Smaller muscles can be treated via our therapeutic protocol for rehabilitation - coming soon!
-
How long is a treatment?60 minutes
-
Who is NOT a candidate?Individuals with electronic implants such as a pacemaker are not eligible. Any of the following are also contraindicated: cancer, pregnancy, breastfeeding, fever, pulmonary embolism. Those with pulmonary insufficiency, heart conditions, previous stroke, in remission of cancer within 5 years, phlebitis and epilepsy are eligible only with their doctor’s permission. If you have metal implants, that area in particular cannot be treated. Similarly, treatment should be avoided in the areas of: a copper IUD (non-metal IUD ok), an implantable chamber catheter, bruise, wound, recent surgery, nerve damage, muscle injury or hernia.
-
Can I treat multiple areas at once?Yes! The B-Shape T.M.C machine has 4 applicators, therefore it is possible to treat the stomach and arms or calves simultaneously as an example.
-
What should I do post treatment in order to maximize my results?Drink 2 litres of water per day, eat “clean” protein, ideally 0.8-1 g protein per pound body weight, include “detox” tea or supplements such as milk thistle in your regimen. This will help the lymphatic system clear out the fat from the fat cells that the lactic acid has affected. It will also help the body heal the microscopic micro tears of the muscle that were created similar to the way an intense workout creates these tears. For the body builders out there: follow your pre-and post-workout regimen as if you had worked out.
-
Are the results permanent?No, similar to muscle gained by working out, muscle atrophies over time if not exercised. We recommend either exercising the treated areas on a maintenance schedule of exercise (less intense than a muscle-building exercise regimen), or coming back for one 60 min maintenance session once every 8 weeks.
-
What is the effect on the buttocks area specifically?The gluteus maximus muscle reacts by gaining volume and becoming firmer. It will have the appearance of looking lifted.
-
What is the effect on the stomach area specifically?The abdominal muscles react by becoming firmer, closer together if separated, and increasing slightly in thickness. These muscles are not “designed” to gain bulk. The end affect is a flatter and firmer stomach.
-
Are your technicians certified?Yes. Our technicians have passed a two-part course specific to the B-Shape T.M.C. device certified by Health Canada.
-
How do I maintain the results?There are two ways to maintain the results: either by physical exercise, or by one maintenance treatment every 2-3 months.
