HOW IT WORKS
The STAR safely and effectively uses thermal shock to target and naturally reduce fat cells without any damage to beneficial cells. The STAR treatment breaks down fat cells, which your body naturally flushes out through the lymphatic system in days to weeks following the treatment. It’s a safe, painless, non-surgical alternative to liposuction and traditional technologies. STAR T-SHOCK toning helps reduce the appearance of crepey and loose skin, cellulite, fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen and elastin production while strengthening muscles.
THE BENEFITS OF THE STAR T- SHOCK
SAFETY FIRST
Is it safe? Yes, the STAR T-SHOCK is a safe, non-invasive treatment of adipose tissue to induce lipolysis—the breaking down of fat cells—to reduce body fat without damage to other tissues.
WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT FEEL LIKE?
The 30 - 60 minute treatments are executed manually through a slow massage over the selected area of the body. Each session will begin with clean skin followed by a light gel application. The treatment begins with heat or cold, alternating between the two at varying times and temperatures. It is a non-invasive and painless treatment that feels like a light massage.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND THE TREATMENT
The STAR uses the technology of the Peltier cell by safely and quickly generating heat or cold. Each session starts with a warming phase followed by rapid cooling. The combined effect literally “shocks” the cells which has a far more profound effect on the results vs. using only warm or cold. Temperatures are pleasant and non-painful. Skin and fatty tissue are subjected to triple thermal shock (heat-cold-heat) or (cold-heat-cold) which optimizes results.
Fat cells are very sensitive to heat and
cold, and the variation in temperature
allows for a faster, more efficient
elimination of them.
The synergy of the thermal shock leads to the destruction of fat cells. The adipocytes cannot survive and some are eliminated during the session. The rest are flushed away through the lymphatic system.
This technique leads to a reduction of
fat mass in the target area. Repeated
treatments over the prescribed time
period will remove the upper layers of fat.
HOW OFTEN CAN I RECEIVE TREATMENT?
STAR T-SHOCK Slimming treatments are best for your stomach, love handles, under arms, bra-line, glutes, and inner or outer thighs. Slimming treatments can be performed once every two weeks and T-Shock Tone™ treatments can be performed every 2-3 days. Use T-Shock Tone™ for your face, arms, legs, back, abdomen and stomach. T-Shock Slimming causes a reduction of fat cells leaving adjacent tissue unaffected cells. The treated cells are evacuated through the lymphatic system and will eventually pass through the kidneys. Waiting every two weeks ensures that the lymphatic system and kidneys are not overloaded.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
There are generally no side effects apart from increased urination over several days following the treatment. In very few cases, there was localized redness that disappeared after a few hours and in rare cases, there was local pain that did not exceed 2 to 3 hours. There was some experience of delayed onset muscle soreness from treatments on the stomach due to unintentionally engaging the abdominals, which disappeared later that same day.
**Anyone with the following conditions should not receive a STAR T-SHOCK treatment: severe kidney disease or dialysis; active cancer / chemotherapy; severe Diabetes and pregnancy. Anyone with an open abdominal hernia should not receive a fat reduction in that area. Botox and fillers should not be used two and four weeks respectively in advance of facial treatments.
