Ultrawave — Waist and Back

About this treatment

On a treatment taking in the rear side, "note what you notice" is easy to say and worth little. What a mirror shows stays incomplete, and most people are shy about saying so.

So we carry the burden of describing. At the close, what was done and how the area looks gets described to you; you hand back what touch and clothing let you notice.

Without that describing running both ways, a large rear region cannot be followed from one visit to the next. This page is about that traceability.

At a glance

• At the close, the state of the area is described to you out loud.
• What you notice without sight — touch, what your clothing meets, how sitting feels — is asked about as its own item.
• The record kept about the area is read out to you; it does not stay one-sided.
• The plan for the next visit comes from comparing what was described with what you hand back.
• The service runs at both studios; the record travels with you whichever one you come to.

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 visits shows how well a spoken description carries in this region. Done well, you know what to watch for in the days between; done badly, you arrive next time with nothing observed at all.

Who it is planned for

This scope concerns the rear of the torso, and you cannot observe it yourself. We want you to feel free to question what you are told; if a description is unclear, ask again. Whether it suits you is decided together at the appointment.

• If you have noticed sensitivity on your back before, say how you came to notice it.
• If a skin problem or a healing process is under way in this region, say so beforehand.
• If you have had surgery on the lower back or the back, share it.
• If you are pregnant, say so at the outset; the plan for the rear side depends on it.

How the appointment runs

1. 1The spoken starting descriptionWe begin by describing to you the state of the area that day. That way the starting point for comparison stands the same with you as with us.
2. 2What you hand backYou are asked what you have noticed by touch, through your clothing, or while seated. Because you cannot look, "I don't know" counts as an answer.
3. 3The treatmentWork proceeds on the agreed area. Every so often we say where we are; working in silence takes away your bearings in this region.
4. 4The closing descriptionAt the finish, what was done and how the area looks is described. The record is read out to you.
5. 5The comparisonNext time, the earlier description is read out and set against what you observed in between.

Before your appointment

After your appointment

When to contact us: If a pain, a pulling or a changed sensation you did not expect persists on the back, call us; describing it is enough even without seeing. If it grows or holds your movement back, see a doctor first.

Good to know

The Fatma Süha approach

When we work at Fatma Süha on a region that cannot be seen, we do not leave the describing to you. If we did, the whole of the knowledge would stay with us, and nobody could check it.

What we write down, we read out to you. A record not read out is kept about you but does not belong to you.

We let "I don't know" stand. Demanding a guess about an area you cannot see means putting invented data into our record.

During the treatment we say where we are. Silence in this region is unsettling and unnecessary.

Frequently asked questions

I cannot see the area, so how do I give feedback?

Through touch, through what your clothing meets, and through how sitting feels. "I don't know" is a valid answer too.

Can I see the record kept about me?

It is read out to you at the finish. If there is a sentence in it you disagree with, say so; we correct it.

Are you told what is being done during the treatment?

Yes, every so often we say where we are. If you would rather have less of it, you can mention that as well.

Is following it at home in the mirror the right thing to do?

Not as the only source; angle and light deceive. Touch and what your clothing meets give steadier information.

Could someone close to me look and tell me?

They could, but do not take it as the only source. At the appointment we look together and describe it to you.

Can I set a measurement target for my back?

This treatment is not planned around a weight or measurement target. If your expectation runs that way, let us talk about it at the appointment.

Can I trust the device description for a region I cannot see?

The method section was written from the manufacturer's manual, and nothing was added that the manual does not carry. On a region you cannot see, an invented description would mislead most of all.

Will the record be there if I go to the other studio?

Yes. The service runs at both studios and your record travels with you.
