Hi everyone welcome back, it's Emily and Lori again we are now ready to treat the lower abdomen once again we're treating with the CoolAdvantage Plus applicator, 45-minute applicator does cover hip bone to hip bone we can actually use this on the lower abdomen or the upper abdomen it just depends on the person but today we're treating lower abdomen I'm going to come around to Lori. Every client that comes in gets a neck wrap a heated neck wrap i should say for the treatment this just provides you an extra level of comfort so I'm going to step back here as you can see we do have the area marked we found where you see these crosses is where the peaks of the fat are so this is where the volume is so we want to have what we call the gel traps and you'll see the post treatment markings directly over that once again Lori if you've seen some of our other videos Lori is cleaning this area with the pre-treatment wipe just make sure we get any lotion residue off creates a clean surface for the treatment so we're all ready to go and then Lori is bringing around the gel pad so once again this gel pad is actually made from cellulose so it can be a little cold a little sticky sometimes we just want to make sure that it covers the area that's marked and once again we will straighten out that gel pad too so that we don't have any air bubbles underneath and actually Lori I think that's one of the best gel pad applications I've ever seen no air bubbles really now but if you do get air bubbles it is completely normal but it can create kind of a pulsating butterfly kiss feeling uh under the applicator so we do try to smooth those out so let me come around here We're going to show you all the good angles of when we actually section the applicator on so here we go she's got the applicator all set very good once again cool advantage plus it's a larger applicator we have two gel traps here that's where we want where these two gel traps are that's where we wanted to go directly over those x's that we marked on her so i'm gonna come over here you're going to see this section very good i'll hold that for you teamwork here there we go we're going to just tighten that cord just a little bit straighten it out there we go i'm going to bring this down so as you can see we have suctioned all of the mart area into that applicator so we've got everything right there cord is nice and straight nice and tight just giving a little extra security underneath there we go that way we keep that applicator nice and stable and then once again we will get you all set and comfortable we've got a little pager right here this is a little button that you can push that will page us and call us if you need us so you always have access to the clinician during the treatment so we turn that off machine has started for the 45 minutes now if there's any errors or if the machine loses any suction for whatever reason it will notify us so these machines have everything built in now for the last step a little champagne there's always complimentary champagne whenever you're here snacks whatever you need come back and check in with y'all once the treatment's done all right? Hi everyone we're back we just finished the 45-minute treatment on the lower abdomen.
Lori is going to show you what it looks like we take off the applicator we are giving our client gloves because she is going to assist us um with some of this post-treatment massage so we still got that applicator this client was very good she did not move so everything is looking great you slowly take that applicator off there we go and lift up oh wow as you can see redness we even sometimes get occasionally outside where it's marked which is great because that means we just got a little bit more um redness will subside about 20-30 minutes after we do the massage but some clients can experience redness off and on throughout the day when i personally treated i had redness for about an hour now this is a great treatment as you can see that gel chat marking i showed you earlier is directly over the x that's what we look for um and like i said we can see that redness right outside so we were able to get just a little bit more than what we had marked at but i'm going to step back or is there anything else you want to add i'm good actually so i think what's wonderful about this treatment it has a lot to do with uh bed positioning body positioning during the treatment we have the client lean a little bit more forward and what that does it allows us to get that i'm in the bed i'm eating a pizza kind of a feel so the tissue's a little bit soft looser it's easier to treat and with that we were able to get a little bit above the applicator so the client got a little extra treatment and we're going to take a picture post-treatment marking we do keep this in your chart so if you ever need to look at what was true that you can always do so so we're going to slowly start massaging it's going to feel a little weird a little tender numb just kind of a different kind of sensation but we will do this massage for about two minutes post-treatment clinician will start sometimes we will also give you gloves because we do like to show you what it feels like as you're massaging and you really do need to get deep in that tissue in that area you don't want to just do a soft touch you really want to massage that area because you will massage it home for the next couple of weeks for a few minutes a day so we do like for you to get a feeling of what it's going to feel like especially because you can be a little numb for the next couple of weeks as well. So it is a different sensation some clients do ask you know do i need to use lotion do i need to not use lotion it really doesn't matter it's whatever you prefer but if your skin is sensitive i personally don't like to use lotion because i feel like it can cause a little extra sensitivity so it really just depends on the person though so whatever you prefer so Lori is going to finish this massage feel free to give us a call 713-609-1900 if you have any questions about this particular treatment thanks so much!
