Ultrawave — Abdomen, Waist and Back

About this treatment

A scope running front to back puts more than one change of position into the appointment. When those changes are not planned, the order gets muddled and the same area is returned to twice.

So at the start of the appointment we talk not only about which areas but about which area is worked in which position. Once the plan is set, it does not have to be set again at later appointments.

Comfort hangs on that plan too. Staying in one position for a long stretch can be hard going, and saying so beforehand changes the plan directly.

At a glance

• How many changes of position there will be, and in what order, is settled at the start of the appointment.
• If staying long in one position is hard for you, the plan is built around that.
• So that no area is returned to twice, the one that is finished gets marked.
• Once the plan is set, later appointments review it rather than build it again.
• The service runs at both studios; your plan travels with your record.

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

The stretch between appointments shows whether the position plan is actually workable. A plan can look sensible on paper and turn out hard going in practice; the next appointment then opens with a plan that this feedback has corrected.

Who it is planned for

This scope is built for people planning to have the front and the back of the torso worked in the same appointment. If turning over is hard for you, you need to say so at the outset; narrowing the scope is a valid option too. The decision is made together at the appointment.

• If lying on your back or your front for long is hard for you, say so before the appointment.
• If you have an ongoing complaint in the lower back, the back or the neck, share it.
• If you have had surgery in these regions and it was recent, do tell us.
• If you are pregnant, the position plan is directly affected; we need to talk about it at the appointment.

How the appointment runs

1. 1The position planWe begin by working out which region belongs to which position. How many times you will turn over becomes clear at this point.
2. 2The frontIn the opening position of the plan, everything on the front side is covered. Whatever is done gets marked.
3. 3Turning overThe change of position is not hurried. Telling us at this point that it is uncomfortable can change the rest of the plan.
4. 4The backIn the position that follows, the back side is covered. Your account of it goes into its own line.
5. 5Reviewing the planBefore you leave, we go over whether the position plan held up, and correct it for the following visit if needed.

Before your appointment

After your appointment

When to contact us: If something in the back, the lower back or anywhere around the torso is still hurting the day after, ring us and name the position it began in — that is the detail the plan needs. Should it travel or hold your movement back, a physician comes before we do.

Good to know

The Fatma Süha approach

At Fatma Süha we know that on a long appointment the tiring part is not the work but the transitions between. When we do not plan them, the appointment stretches out on its own.

Asking about difficulty with positions is our job. When we do not ask, nobody volunteers it, and the work gets squeezed halfway through.

We mark what is finished. Without the mark it is very easy to return to the same place twice, and that serves neither you nor us.

If the plan is too much for you, we suggest narrowing the scope. Trading comfort to hold a wide scope is not a suggestion that comes from our side.

Frequently asked questions

How many times will I turn over during the appointment?

That is planned at the start of the appointment and told to you. If turning over is hard for you, the plan is built around it.

I cannot lie on my front for long, is that a problem?

Say so before the appointment. The plan is set from that, and if need be we narrow the scope.

Is the same region returned to twice?

No, because what is finished gets marked. The mark also makes the progress of the appointment visible.

Does a wider scope bring more result?

Scope is not a measure of an outcome; it only settles which areas are worked on.

Can I move to a narrower scope later?

You can, and if the plan is too much for you we suggest it ourselves. The category holds narrower options.

I have an ongoing complaint in my back, do I need to say so?

Yes, share it before the appointment. The position plan looks directly at that.

Where was the description of how the device works taken from?

From the manufacturer's user manual. We do not derive a technology from a name, and we do not add a detail the manual does not carry.

Do I have to pick one of the two studios?

You do not. It runs at both, and your position plan travels with your record.
