The procedure is very straightforward. The machine used – which is the latest generation of this type of device – is equipped with two handpieces that allow us to treat two areas simultaneously. The doctor protects the skin with an insulating membrane covered in a conductive gel, then positions the handpieces, which exert a sucking action on the bulges concerned. For a few minutes, the patient can feel this sucking action, but the tissues are quickly numbed by the cold and the procedure becomes pain-free.
