Body treatments at a glance
Body treatments are non-surgical services such as body contouring devices, cellulite treatments and lymphatic massage. Contouring devices use energy like cold or heat on chosen areas. Cellulite treatments use devices or hands-on methods. Lymphatic massage is a gentle manual technique. Most are done in a series, with the number varying. A licensed provider looks at your health, medicines and the area you want to discuss, and decides what is suitable. Requests from this site go to a provider in or near Eugene.

Questions about body treatments
Who should skip body contouring?
A licensed provider decides that. Common reasons to wait or skip a device include pregnancy, recent surgery in the area, a hernia, some implanted devices, and conditions that react to cold. Bring your full health history and medicine list to the consultation.
What are cellulite treatments?
They are a mixed group. Some use devices with radiofrequency, sound waves or suction. Some are hands-on techniques. Some providers offer injectable options, which are given by licensed providers where state law allows. Ask what method a provider uses and how it works in general terms.
Do my health conditions matter for body treatments?
Yes. Heart and circulation conditions, blood clot history, pacemakers and other implants, metal implants in the area, nerve conditions and cold-related conditions can all matter for certain methods. Bring a full list to the consultation. The provider may suggest checking with your doctor first.
