How does it work?

Cells and micro-currents
As we age the metabolism and efficiency of our cells slow down. Toxins and excess fat become trapped and we put on weight or see the results as cellulite. Our skin tissue loses its elasticity and we begin to ‘sag’. One of the key mechanisms within the cell that eliminates the waste is the "Sodium - Potassium Pump". This pumping action causes each cell to produce a minute amount of electricity which can be measured in micro-amps (a millionth of an amp).

When a cell does not function properly it does not generate sufficient electricity for the pump to work - a bit like a torch battery that only has enough energy to make the bulb glow rather than give off a bright beam of light!

Beautytek is at the cutting edge of medical technology and the only system in the world that uses a complex system of Artificial Intelligence, micro-current and bio-feedback to read the energy levels within the body's cells. This measuring and analysis takes place at the rate of 100's of times every second.

The constant communication between the body and Beautytek enables the system to calculate the shortfall in energy within the cell. It then delivers the exact level of micro-current needed to make up the difference. The Beautytek treatment ‘jump starts’ our cells back to life to function as they did when we were younger by giving them the exact amount of energy needed to start functioning at the correct level. Now able to metabolise efficiently, excess fat and toxins are drained from them, skin tissue is rejuvenated and the complete body is re-energised. It should be stressed that the levels of current required are so small that they cannot be felt.

Beautytek enables the body to start to metabolise fats, eliminate waste and detoxify. What's more, once the body has been 'recharged' by a course of treatments it is able to continue to work at the correct rate, thereby reducing the possibility of fat and cellulite returning.

Beautytek is the only machine able to do this and not only represents an amazing breakthrough in the battle against the bulge, but for the first time provides a really effective alternative to cosmetic surgery!

In more detail
Energy of varying extremely low frequencies and wave forms is applied to the body through a  conductive hand-held wand. A signal is returned from the body and analysed by the Beautytek computer, which selects the appropriate wave form and frequency for the therapeutic current entering the treated area.

The computer continuously compares the therapeutic signal with the signal being returned from the body tissue. This signal carries information about the cell chemistry of each cell in the treated area.

The computer analyses this information to determine the quantitative discrepancy between the two signals, adapts the wave form and frequency of the therapeutic current and passes it back to the body tissue via the hand-held wand. This happens continuously throughout treatment and is called a "bio-cybernetic circuit".

The treatment ends when the Beautytek computer calculates that a physiological and energetic balance has been achieved in the treated tissue.

What happens to the treated area?
The energy transmitted into the tissue acts as a stimulus for a variety of body functions:

The body's energy levels are increased.
Fatty tissue is dehydrated.
Fatty clusters are decomposed.
Water and toxins stored in the cells are redistributed to the lymphatic pathways, which are stimulated to "flush" the waste products from the body.
Blood vessels are opened to increase blood flow (perfusion), oxygen levels in the blood and nutrients delivered to the tissue.
The ion grid is re-established (ions are electrically charged particles responsible for a variety of chemical and electrical reactions in the body).
The water balance is readjusted and regulated.
Active ingredients in the electrolyte gel are selectively absorbed into the body (this is called iontophoresis) as required.

How long do the results last?
In terms of fat reduction, the effects are as permanent as any method of reducing fat, including surgery. Provided a sensible eating and exercise plan is followed, the treatment effects are permanent. In terms of breast and face lifting, and cellulite treatments, studies have shown the effects of a course of treatments without any maintenance sessions can last anything between three to six months before a single top-up treatment is required.

How many treatments will I need?
It is difficult to specify how many treatments a person will need, because the speed at which the body responds differs from person to person. However, we recommend that an initial course of 12 treatments is undertaken to assess the result. For leg and bottom treatments we recommend a series of 18 treatments is taken before assessment. Your experienced therapist will assess your individual needs at consultation.

How often do I need treatments?
For optimal results we recommend two or three treatments a week, with at least one whole day in between (e.g. treatment on a Monday may then be followed on a Wednesday and Friday).

Can I have more than one area treated at a time?
Yes. Treating two adjacent areas at the same time can have significant benefits. It is, however, often the case that treatment on one area will have positive benefits on other areas (e.g. breast treatments frequently produces an improvement in the waistline).

Do I need any maintenance treatments?
Once the desired result has been achieved, we recommend that maintenance treatments are undertaken every three to four months to ensure permanence. Your therapist will advise what is best for you.

What can I expect during a treatment?
During your initial consultation your therapist will examine the area you wish to have treated to determine the most effective treatment plan for you. Your therapist will then discuss with you what to expect from your treatment.

How long does a session last?
Typically, a session will last around 60 minutes. The face and leg treatments are longer.

Are there any side effects?
The most significant benefit of Beautytek is that it achieves dramatic results comparable with invasive surgery but without the associated risks and side effects. Beautytek treatments are conducted on the skin so no uncomfortable recovery period is required and no side effects have been reported. During and after treatment you may feel the urge to go to the toilet  frequently. This is perfectly normal and indicates that the treatment is having a desired effect.

Will I feel any pain or discomfort?
No. Beautytek treatment is pleasant to undergo and completely painless. Some clients feel a slight tingling sensation at particular points in their treatment as the current passes through the wand. Clients undergoing facial treatments may experience a metallic taste in their mouth if they have any fillings. Beautytek treatment will feel as though you have had a light massage and many clients have reported feelings of increased well-being and energy after their Beautytek session.

Do I need to diet/exercise?
Beautytek is effective without the need for strict diets or exercise plans. However, we do recommend that clients increase their intake of fresh fruit and vegetables, reduce the level of saturated fats in their diet and try to get 30 minutes of exercise a day. We ask all our clients to drink at least two litres of water a day, to keep the body properly hydrated and help the client get the best result possible from their treatment.

Under what circumstances would I not be able to have the treatment?
There are a few medical and physical conditions where Beautytek treatment will not be administered. Pregnant and breastfeeding women, clients wearing a pacemaker, suffering from epilepsy or cancer will not be treated. Clients with large metal implants such as artificial hips cannot be treated in the area of the prosthesis, but it does not negate treatment of other areas. If you are feeling unwell, the energy levels in your body will be low, so you may not get the most out of your treatment. Your therapist will discuss any medication you are taking.
