The Evolution of Body Contouring: From PHYSIQ to PHYSIQ 360

Body contouring has come a long way, and the introduction of PHYSIQ by Cartessa Aesthetics was a significant milestone in non-invasive body treatments. The original PHYSIQ system used STEP (Sequential Thermal & Electrical Pulse) technology, which effectively combined heat and electrical pulses to target fat and stimulate muscles simultaneously. This dual-action approach provided excellent results, helping many of our patients achieve a more toned and sculpted appearance without the need for surgery.
Now, with the introduction of PHYSIQ 360, Cartessa Aesthetics has taken this technology to the next level. The 2024 version of PHYSIQ 360 offers enhanced fat-melting capabilities and stronger muscle stimulation, making it the most advanced body contouring system on the market today. This new technology provides surgical-like results, making it an ideal solution for those looking to achieve a leaner, more defined physique.

How PHYSIQ 360 works?

PHYSIQ 360 combines the power of heat and electrical stimulation to target and eliminate stubborn fat while simultaneously building and toning muscle. Here’s how it works:

1. Thermal Energy: The PHYSIQ 360 system uses advanced thermal energy to heat the underlying fat cells, causing them to break down. This process, known as apoptosis, leads to the gradual elimination of fat cells from the body over time. The thermal energy also helps tighten and firm the skin, providing a smoother and more youthful appearance. 
2. Electrical Stimulation: The system delivers electrical pulses that stimulate muscle contractions, mimicking the effects of an intense workout. This not only helps to tone and strengthen the muscles but also enhances the overall contour of the treated area.
3. Sequential Treatment: PHYSIQ 360 employs a sequential treatment approach, alternating between thermal energy and electrical stimulation to maximize results. This method ensures that both fat reduction and muscle toning are achieved in a single treatment session.

The Benefits of PHYSIQ 360

PHYSIQ 360 offers numerous benefits, making it an exceptional choice for individuals seeking non-surgical body contouring:

1. Non-Invasive: PHYSIQ 360 is a completely non-invasive procedure, meaning there are no incisions, stitches, or scars. Patients can enjoy significant improvements in their body contours without the risks and downtime associated with surgery.
2. Quick and Convenient: Treatment sessions with PHYSIQ 360 are relatively quick, typically lasting under an hour. This makes it a convenient option for busy individuals who want to achieve their body goals without taking time off from their daily activities.
3. Minimal Discomfort: The PHYSIQ 360 treatment is designed to be comfortable, with most patients experiencing only a mild warming sensation and gentle muscle contractions during the procedure. The treatments do not require numbing.
4. No Downtime: One of the most significant advantages of PHYSIQ 360 is that there is no downtime required. Patients can return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.
5. Versatile: PHYSIQ 360 can be used to treat various areas of the body, including the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms. This versatility allows for customized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and goals.
6. Long-Lasting Results: The results of PHYSIQ 360 are long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle. As the body continues to eliminate fat cells and build muscle, patients can enjoy a more sculpted and toned physique for years to come.

The Perfect Complement to DEEP RF Microneedling

At K2 Restorative Medicine and Med-Spa, we are committed to offering comprehensive solutions that address all aspects of body contouring and skin tightening. Dr. Kulback believes that PHYSIQ 360 is the perfect complement to our DEEP RF Microneedling treatments. While PHYSIQ 360 focuses on fat reduction and muscle stimulation, DEEP RF Microneedling uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, treat scars, and reduce stretch marks. Together, these treatments provide a holistic approach to body contouring, addressing both the underlying structures and the skin’s surface for optimal results.

Ideal for Post-Weight Loss and Aging Skin

With the increasing popularity of weight loss medications like semaglutide, many individuals are achieving significant weight loss but are left with loose, sagging skin and stubborn pockets of fat. PHYSIQ 360 offers an ideal solution for these individuals, helping to tighten and tone the skin while eliminating residual fat. Additionally, as we age, our skin loses elasticity, and muscle tone diminishes. PHYSIQ 360 can effectively counteract these effects, providing a more youthful and sculpted appearance.
