Ultrawave — Abdomen and Waist

About this treatment

On a service covering two regions together, the detail skipped most often is the transition zone. That transition does not sit in the same place on any two bodies, and a catalogue name cannot know it.

So we mark the transition at the start of the appointment. Without marking it, one of the two areas ends somewhere slightly different every time, and comparison becomes impossible.

The rest of the page is built around that: how the transition is settled, what can change during the appointment, and what happens when the two areas feel different.

At a glance

• Where one area gives way to the next is fixed at the outset, in writing.
• That point holds across visits instead of being estimated afresh each time.
• If the two areas feel different, that stands on its own rather than being stirred into a single verdict.
• Ask beforehand which areas are included and you get a straight answer.
• Both studios run this treatment, so your visits can be spread across them.

Method

Roller massage, vacuum and infrared

• The application runs through rotating roller heads that roll over the skin and lift as they go; the manufacturer's manual calls this step "rolling & lifting".
• The head applies suction with negative pressure at the same time. The manual gives the maximum suction force as 8 kg.
• Infrared light in the 700–2000 nm range is delivered from the head; the maximum power stated in the manual is 20 W.
• The device's concentrated 40 kHz wave head is a separate head and is used on body regions.

Session plan

In this scope, the time in between lets you live with the two areas separately. If one of them behaves differently from the other in everyday movement, you can only tell that as time passes; the order for the next appointment comes out of that distinction.

Who it is planned for

This scope is built for people planning to work on two neighbouring areas in the same appointment. If you are thinking of only one of them, the category also holds options covering a single area. Which one suits you is what we discuss at the appointment; this page does not choose on your behalf.

• If you have a complaint in only one of the two areas, say which one.
• If you have had sensitivity in the transition zone before, share it.
• If you have had surgery in these areas or are under follow-up, mention it.
• If pregnancy is in the picture, we can also discuss narrowing the scope; do say so at the appointment.

How the appointment runs

1. 1Marking the transitionThe appointment opens by marking where the two areas meet. That marking is used at later appointments too.
2. 2Settling the orderWhich area to begin with is discussed. The order is not arbitrary; it follows from your comfort and the state you are in that day.
3. 3The first areaThe work proceeds on the chosen area, and comfort is asked about for that area separately.
4. 4The second areaAfter the transition mark, the work moves to the second area. What you report here is recorded separately.
5. 5The combined noteThe notes kept separately for the two areas are read at the end of the appointment, and the order for the next one is settled here.

Before your appointment

After your appointment

When to contact us: If unexpected pain or a bruise persists in either of the two areas, call us and say which area it is. If pain increases or spreads, see a doctor first.

Good to know

The Fatma Süha approach

When we see a joined-up service name at Fatma Süha, the first thing we ask is where the two meet. When we do not ask it, two areas slowly become one unclear one.

We keep the marking in writing. A transition point left to memory travels a few centimetres at every appointment, and nobody notices.

We keep the feedback on the two areas separate as well. An averaged assessment sounds tidy and hides the very difference that matters.

You can ask before the appointment which area the scope covers. We do not answer that question evasively; scope is not a marketing field.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the boundary between the two areas settled?

It is marked by pointing at the start of the appointment and the mark goes into the note. The same mark is used at later appointments.

Who decides which area to begin with?

Together, at the appointment. Your comfort and the state you are in that day settle the order.

Is taking the two areas together better?

The width of a scope is not a measure of an outcome. It only settles which areas are worked on.

I was comfortable in one area and not in the other. Is that normal?

We record that separately. We do not expect you to decide; saying it is enough.

Can I narrow the scope later?

We can change it by talking. The change is written into the note along with its date.

How does the device work?

The method section lists it: rollers that lift as they turn, negative-pressure suction, infrared, and a 40 kHz head standing apart. Every line traces back to the operating instructions.

What is in the section of things to watch out for?

It holds the manufacturer's own warnings, unwidened — nothing was put in that the instructions do not carry. If any line there describes you, raise it before we book.

Can I split my appointments between the two studios?

Yes. Both studios run it, and the mark you agreed travels with your record rather than with a room.
