Harness the Latest Technology to Safely Sculpt Away Fat
You have heard of coldsculpting (fat freezing or cryolipolysis), but did you know that heating fat cells is a newer and safer way to remove unwanted fat deposits? B-Sculpt Medispa has partnered with Sharplight Technologies to offer Rapid Contour, a radiofrequency (RF) powered body contouring treatment to reduce stubborn localized fat pockets.
Rapid Contour is an effective yet very safe treatment that does not pose the risk of paradoxical fat hyperplasia, a rare but very serious and disfiguring complication from cold sculpting treatments.
The treatment feels like a warm stone massage with a warm handpiece that glides over the skin with the help of glycerin. The area will become pink or red during treatment and subside shortly afterwards.
It is possible to see an improvement in the area immediately following treatment, however the full effect of the body contouring treatment take several weeks to appear since the body's lymphatic system has to clear the affected fat cells from the body. For best results, a series of treatments is recommended. The number will depend on the current situation and your desired goals. Apart from circumferential fat reduction, the treatment reduces cellulite.
In addition to the above benefits, a Rapid Contour Treatment improves skin texture by building collagen. This increases bounce and elasticity while reducing sagging skin. Yes please!
Combination Treatments that Work
Combining our Rapid Contour treatment that targets localized fat pockets with our body sculpting treatment is a smart and incredibly synergistic approach. Our Health Canada approved device increases the metabolism by 5 times, thereby increasing the effectiveness of other treatment technologies. How? The lymphatic system will be able to clear away the destroyed fat cells faster, and the skin's fibroblasts will generate collagen in the area quicker. This is in addition to the benefits of Montreal body sculpting on their own - more muscle less fat!
Our body contouring treatment raises the temperature of fat cells thereby destroying them and paving the way towards smoother skin in areas with cellulite. At the same time, the skin's fibroblasts are signalled to create more collagen which will tighten skin that has lost it's bounce and elasticity.
Targeted treatment exactly where you want it. Multiple areas can be treated in the same session.
Treatments are safe for ALL skin colours and skin types. Bonus: rejuvenates the skin!
Non-invasive and painless procedure. Feels like a hot stone massage.

Body Contouring 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.
