Ultrawave — Full Legs

About this treatment

The commonest mistake when working a large surface is starting somewhere different every time. Without dividing it into sections there is no following which part has had how much work, and the series runs unevenly.

So we divide the surface together on the first visit. Where to begin, how it carries on from one visit to the next, and what gets written down are all discussed up front.

Throughout, you are expected to say how it feels. Across a large surface that can differ from section to section, and what you say feeds the planning of the next visit.

At a glance

• The surface is divided into sections at the visit; which section was worked when is kept on paper.
• How the series carries on is discussed on the first visit rather than planned from scratch each time.
• Intensity can be adjusted section by section, following what you report.
• You can spread your run of visits across the two addresses; the series does not suffer for it.
• Whether you pause or stop is discussed afresh at every visit.

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

What is bought here is not a single visit but a series. The gap between them gives the surface time to settle and lets us see what happens between two visits. Compressing the gap does not speed the series up; it only removes the stretch that could have been watched.

Who it is planned for

This treatment is built for people who want the surface of the whole leg worked regularly across a series. It is not a programme aimed at a target for weight, measurements or body composition. The decision is made together at the visit, once the surface has been looked at and your expectation discussed.

• If there is a wound, a healing process or a skin problem on the surface, say so beforehand.
• If you have had surgery on the leg or a treatment is under way, share it.
• If you are pregnant or planning to be, say so at the visit.
• Discussing the span in which you want to finish the series, right from the start, keeps the progress followable.

How the appointment runs

1. 1Dividing the surfaceOn the first visit the leg is divided into sections, and the order the series will run in gets settled together.
2. 2Getting readyThe surface is prepared, and which sections are due that day gets explained.
3. 3The working throughThe sections come up in order. At each one you are asked how it feels, and intensity is adjusted from your answer.
4. 4The written noteWhich sections were worked and what you reported goes on paper; the planning of the next visit comes out of that note.
5. 5Carrying the series onWhen it continues, and with which section, is decided from the progress on paper.

Good to know

The Fatma Süha approach

On a large surface our first concern is keeping the series followable. If we do not know which section was worked when, there is no talking about progress at all.

What settles the plan on the first visit is how the surface is divided and what your calendar allows. Until both are clear, we do not start the series.

Between visits, what we follow is how you feel and how the surface answers. We write both down and ask about them every time.

If your expectation falls outside what this treatment covers, we say so on the first visit. Starting a series is not a way of postponing a wrong expectation.

Frequently asked questions

Who decides whether this treatment suits me?

Together, at the visit, once the surface has been looked at and your expectation discussed. This page makes no suitability decision.

Will it help me lose weight?

No. It is not a programme planned around a target for weight, measurements or body composition. If your expectation lies there, let us talk about it openly at the visit.

Can I take a single visit and try it?

You can. The treatment is built around a series, though; a single visit does not show how the series runs.

Does it stop if a section feels wrong?

Say so at once. Intensity can be adjusted section by section, and what you report goes on paper.

What happens if I miss a visit?

The plan is adjusted and it carries on from your section. Letting us know in advance makes the planning easier.

Can I spread my visits across the two addresses?

Yes. The treatment runs at both, and because the note on the series is attached to you, it does not get split.

I am pregnant, can I have it done?

Do say so at the visit. With that told us, we judge together whether the series should begin; the plan can be put back accordingly.

Can I break off the series halfway?

Yes. Carrying on is decided afresh at every visit, and stopping is a valid decision.
