Common questions

Is there any downtime?

There's no downtime at all. Your skin might look a little pink and feel warm for up to a couple of hours afterwards, but you can get straight back to normal life, exercise, and makeup immediately.

Does it hurt?

It's very comfortable — most people describe it as a warm, relaxing sensation similar to a hot stone massage. There's no need for numbing cream, and the heat is carefully monitored throughout to keep you comfortable.

How many sessions will I need?

Most people need a course of 6 to 8 sessions spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart for real, lasting change. If you have a wedding, holiday, or big event coming up, it's worth starting at least 12 weeks beforehand so everything has time to settle and peak.

How long do the results last?

You'll notice a subtle tightness straight away, but meaningful results build over 4 to 6 weeks and peak around 3 to 6 months. A single session gives temporary improvement; with a full course of 6 to 8 sessions, results typically last 6 to 12 months depending on your age and lifestyle.

Are there any side effects?

It's normal to have some temporary redness and warmth in the treated area for up to a couple of hours, and occasionally a little mild swelling that settles the same day. Very rarely, if the settings aren't right for your skin type, there can be temporary darkening of the skin or superficial burns, which is why we monitor temperature carefully throughout.

Before your appointment

💧 Drink plenty of water for 48 hours beforehand — well-hydrated skin responds better to the heat.

🍷 Avoid alcohol for 24 hours — it can increase sensitivity and redness.

🧴 Arrive with clean skin — no lotions, oils, makeup or self-tan on the area.

☀️ Avoid sunburn or tanning for 48 hours before — heat on heat irritates the skin.

⚠️ Tell us about any metal implants or pacemakers — radiofrequency cannot be used with these.

⏰ Remove all jewellery from the treatment area.

After your appointment

⏰ Expect mild redness and warmth for up to a couple of hours — this is normal and fades on its own.

💧 Keep skin hydrated with gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser.

☀️ Use SPF 30+ daily to protect newly forming collagen from sun damage.

🚫 Do not apply ice packs to the area — the retained warmth helps collagen production.

✨ You can exercise, shower and apply makeup immediately.

📅 Book your next session to keep momentum — courses work best when spaced consistently.

Do not book if

⚠️ Pregnancy or breastfeeding — we do not treat during either.

⚠️ Pacemaker, defibrillator or other implanted electronic device.

⚠️ Metal implants in the treatment area.

⚠️ Active infection, inflammation or open wounds on the skin.

⚠️ Severe heart disease or uncontrolled diabetes.

⚠️ History of keloid scarring or poor wound healing.

⚠️ Recent surgery in the treatment area.

⚠️ Nerve damage that stops you feeling heat properly.

⚠️ Certain autoimmune connective tissue diseases — check with us first.

How it compares

✅ Compared with Snatched Arms: 3-in-1 Combo (Fat Dissolving & Skin Tightening)

  • No needles at all — this is completely non-invasive with no bruising or injection-related recovery; the 3-in-1 combo includes Lemon Bottle injections, which sting briefly and cause swelling for several days.
  • Skin-only focus — this treats loose, crepey skin when there is no significant fat to remove; the 3-in-1 combo tackles stubborn fat pockets AND loose skin together.
  • Choose this if your arms are slim but the skin has gone loose; choose the 3-in-1 combo if you want slimming and sculpting in one go.

✅ Compared with Fat Cavitation Arms / M Area

  • Firms skin, not fat — this tightens collagen fibres for crepey, lax skin; cavitation uses ultrasound to burst fat cells for inch loss and does not tighten skin significantly.
  • Gradual and gentle — results build over 3 to 6 months as new collagen forms; cavitation shows faster circumference reduction.
  • Choose this if loose skin is your main concern; choose cavitation if you want to reduce arm size.

✅ Compared with Lemon Bottle Arms / Bra Bulge / M Area: Fat Dissolving

  • No injections, no bruising — this heats the skin surface for tightening; Lemon Bottle involves multiple injections with deoxycholic acid that destroy fat cells, causing bruising and swelling for days.
  • Maintenance not permanence — results last 6 to 12 months with upkeep; Lemon Bottle permanently destroys treated fat cells.
  • Choose this if you want to improve skin texture without needles; choose Lemon Bottle if you have a localised fat pocket to remove.
