Body Contouring — Arms

Your arm is in front of you all day. That makes observing it easy, not reliable: the light, the angle, the hour and the mirror keep changing. How an observation is made comparable is what this page is about.

About this treatment

With a visible area the commonest mistake is to treat every glance as a measurement. What you see in the morning comes out differently in the evening, and most of the time that difference belongs to the conditions rather than to the area.

For an observation to be comparable, three things have to be held steady: the same hour, the same light, the same posture. Hold those, and your observation begins to carry something.

That is what we ask of you at the visit. We ask not what you saw but under which condition you saw it; the two mean something only together.

At a glance

  • You are asked under which condition you observed; not only what you saw.
  • Which conditions to hold steady for a comparable observation is settled together at the visit.
  • If the light or the hour changed, that is noted too; two glances are not quietly treated as equal.
  • Nothing is interpreted about what you see in the mirror; for interpreting it we have no verified source.
  • The treatment is offered at both addresses; the observation record survives the change of address.

Method

Two studios, two different devices

Bebek — Infinite Body

  • The device has separate heads, and the manual names each one's mode of working by its own name: cavitation, cooled focused ultrasound, radial shockwave and radiofrequency.
  • The cavitation head works at 32 kHz; the tolerance the manual gives is ten per cent.
  • The cooled focused ultrasound head works at 4 MHz and 7 MHz; the manual gives the cartridge depths as 1.5 · 3 · 4.5 · 8 and 13 mm, the maximum energy as 3.0 J and the maximum working frequency as 10 Hz.
  • The radial shockwave head has a maximum power of 180 mJ and a maximum frequency of 16 Hz; the manual lists five separate tips.
  • The radiofrequency heads work at 10 MHz with a maximum output of 50 W, in pulsed or continuous mode; the rotating head turns at 40 revolutions per minute.

Göktürk — Siesta

  • The device comes with five heads, and the manual assigns each head to its own region: torso, arm and inner thigh, face.
  • At the torso head, an 80 kHz ultrasound wave and radiofrequency waves are delivered together.
  • The vacuum roller head applies suction with negative pressure while lifting the tissue with the roller movement.
  • Radiofrequency, negative pressure and infrared are brought together in the same head.

Session plan

Between two visits, observation piles up very easily in an area you can see, but how much of the pile is information depends on holding the condition steady. A few observations taken under one condition say more than many taken at random.

Who it is planned for

This line takes the arm area as its subject. With something you can see, expectation rises quickly, and we prefer to raise it at the start. The decision itself is still made together at the visit.

  • Think about the time of day you usually look at your arms.
  • If you feel a difference between the arms, say which one it is in.
  • If a complaint persists anywhere between shoulder and wrist, describe where it sits.
  • If pregnancy is a possibility, say so before the observation plan is set.

How the appointment runs

  1. Talking through the conditionsIt opens by asking under which conditions you look at your arms. The hour, the light and the posture come up here.
  2. Holding the condition steadyWhich condition is to be held steady for the observations ahead is decided and written down.
  3. The applicationWork proceeds on the arm decided on. Comfort is asked about for each of the two arms.
  4. The observation lineWhat you saw and under which condition you saw it go together into the same line.
  5. The next readingNext time the line is read together with the earlier condition; if the condition has changed, the reading is understood accordingly.

Before your appointment

Recommended

  • Try to notice beforehand at what hour and in what light you look at your arms.
  • If you have a habit of looking from one fixed posture, tell us about it.
  • Choose a garment that leaves the arms easily uncovered.
  • If you have felt a difference between the arms, write down which one it was in.

To avoid

  • Do not record every glance as a measurement; an observation whose condition moved cannot be read against another.
  • Do not put anything new on the arms on the day of the visit.
  • Do not lay pictures taken in different light beside one another.
  • Do not come unannounced if one of the arms is irritated.

After your appointment

Recommended

  • Observe under the condition held steady at the visit; keep the hour and the light.
  • Write beside each line under which condition it was taken.
  • Keep the observation for the two arms in lines of their own.
  • Bring the record to the next visit together with its condition.

To avoid

  • Do not count an observation whose condition moved as equal to the earlier one.
  • Do not apply heat to the arms in the first hours.
  • Do not test yourself by stretching the arms while something is still lingering.
  • Do not look many times a day and record every deviation; the condition held steady is enough.

When to contact us: If a pain, a numbness or a change of colour you did not expect persists in one of the arms, call us and say which arm it is. With numbness or loss of strength, see a doctor without waiting.

Good to know

Why do you ask about the condition?

Is it not enough for me to say what I see?

It is not. When the light, the hour and the posture move, the same area looks different, and that difference has nothing to do with the area.

Once we write the condition down, the observation becomes readable against the next one.

Which conditions are held steady?

What should I pay attention to?

The hour, the light and the posture. Those three we decide together at the visit and write down.

If you have to move the condition that was held steady, note it in the line; the reading is then done accordingly.

Do pictures help?

Can I keep my own record with images?

As long as they are taken under the same condition, they help. Laying two images taken in different light beside one another misleads.

You do not have to share the images with us; keeping them for yourself is enough.

Observing the two arms

May I read my arms against each other?

You may, and we ask you to keep that in lines of their own. In a paired area a shared line loses the difference.

What sits between the two arms we do not interpret; we write it down.

Expectation in something you can see

Should I count on seeing a difference soon?

This page gives no promise of that. With something visible expectation rises quickly, and we prefer to raise it at the start.

If your expectation lies outside, we say so plainly.

Which device is used on the arm?

Does it depend on the studio?

It does: Infinite Body in Bebek, Siesta in Göktürk. Under "method" the two are described under headings of their own.

The warnings run separately too: an item written for one machine can be absent for the other. That is why naming your own situation at the start matters.

What does not belong here

Can I work towards a number on the upper arm here?

This line promises nothing about weight, girth or build.

If you carry that hope, raise it before the condition is decided.

The Fatma Süha approach

At Fatma Süha we do not take an observation of a visible area as it comes. The sentence "it looks better" carries nothing while nobody knows what light it was said in.

Asking about the condition looks like one step too many. It would be too many if, a few visits on, we held a heap of observations that cannot be read against each other.

We do not think little of what you see. Quite the opposite: once made readable against itself, it is worth far more than what we can see in one visit.

We do not interpret what you saw. For interpreting it we have no verified source, and saying so is better than tying what your mirror shows to a word of ours.

Frequently asked questions

Why do you ask about the observation condition?
When the light, the hour and the posture move, the same area looks different. Without the condition written down, observations cannot be read against each other.
Which conditions should I hold steady?
The hour, the light and the posture. Those three we decide together at the visit and write down.
Can I follow it with pictures?
As long as you take them under the same condition, it helps. Laying images from different light beside one another misleads.
May I read my two arms against each other?
You may; keep them in lines of their own. We write the difference down, we do not interpret it.
Will I see a difference soon?
This page gives no promise of that. We raise your expectation at the start of the visit.
How many times a day should I look?
Once, under the condition held steady, is enough. Many observations taken at random produce nothing to read against.
May I set a size target for the arm?
Goals for measurements and weight lie outside how this treatment is built. Let us raise your expectation before the observation plan is set.
Where does the technical information about the device come from?
From the manufacturer's own booklet. Because two different devices run at the two addresses, each line under "method" carries beside it which device it belongs to.
