The Body

Aesthetic medicine methods are highly effective, with natural, scar-free results. However, it is essential to carry out the minimum number of sessions recommended for optimal results, and to adjust the number of sessions according to the results obtained. Aesthetic medicine, like cosmetic surgery, must be accompanied by a healthy lifestyle, including a good diet and regular exercise, to ensure lasting results.

For aesthetic medical procedures on the body, preparation varies according to the type of procedure. Generally speaking, no special preparation is required. However, a few practices may be recommended to maximise results.

It’s advisable to be well hydrated before a cosmetic procedure, and to eat well and exercise regularly. We also advise you to avoid alcohol in the 48 hours preceding the procedure, to avoid any risk of dehydration. Finally, it’s best not to apply any creams or lotions to the areas to be treated on the day. The aim is to guarantee optimum results and to avoid interfering with the use of the various instruments. Please note, however, that depending on the technique, a local or general anaesthetic may be required. This is particularly the case for CO2 Laser or our BodyTite® – Morpheus8® solutions .

On the other hand, before any treatment, you need to have a consultation with a specialist. You can explain your expectations and ask any questions you may have. Following this appointment, he or she will inform you about the course of treatment and provide you with a precise and transparent estimate.

Aesthetic medicine is defined as medical procedures designed to improve the body’s appearance and silhouette. These medical procedures are called non-invasive, because they do not involve any incision in the skin. It is this non-invasive nature that distinguishes aesthetic medicine from cosmetic surgery. Several actions can be taken as part of body aesthetic medicine, including muscle strengthening and fat removal.

Aesthetic medical procedures are less invasive than cosmetic surgery and enable you to resume your activities more quickly. However, to achieve optimum results, it is essential to adhere to the recommended number of sessions.

The results of aesthetic medicine treatments depend not only on the method used, but also on the individual and their expectations. Results may be visible immediately, or after a few weeks, depending on the method used. For some treatments, it’s very important to respect the recommended number of sessions before seeing results. We invite you to find out more about each specific method.

As with results, the effects of aesthetic body treatments vary according to the type of procedure. However, as this is not a major operation like cosmetic surgery, recovery time is very short. There is no downtime after the treatment, so you can return to your daily routine immediately, or even a few hours or days afterwards.

In recent years, combination treatments have become increasingly popular in aesthetic skin care. This involves combining two or more treatments instead of one, with the aim of maximising effects.

At Claris Clinic, certain body treatments are complementary and can be used at the same time for optimum results, although the treatments are singularly effective. The B-Tonic treatment, for example, can be combined with Cryopilolysis and Morpheus 8®. However, we recommend that you ask your specialist during your preliminary consultation about the possibility of combining certain treatments.

Some aesthetic body treatments may cause slight discomfort during and after the session. For some procedures, a local anaesthetic will be applied, making the procedure painless. Some reddening of the skin may also occur. In general, Claris Clinic makes every effort to ensure that procedures are virtually pain-free.

To choose the treatment that’s right for you, it’s important to start by asking yourself what your needs are.

If you lead a healthy lifestyle but, despite your efforts, struggle to eliminate stubborn areas of fat, cryolipolysis may be the ideal solution. This non-surgical treatment targets and destroys localised fat deposits in specific areas without damaging the surrounding skin, making it an effective alternative to liposuction.

If you prefer to reshape and refine your body, with an immediate return to activity, the B-Tonic solution is worth considering. It builds muscle and eliminates peripheral fat, resulting in toned skin and sculpted abs.

If you’re looking to treat sagging skin or cellulite, theBodyTite® / Morpheus8® treatment is ideal. These radiofrequency methods firm the skin and can also help to reduce stretch marks or scars by stimulating collagen.

If you’d like to treat more than one problem at the same time, it’s possible to combine B-Tonic with one of the other treatments on offer. Their complementary nature maximises results.

Aesthetic body treatments are available from the age of 18 onwards.

Aesthetic medicine is not a specialty formally recognised by the French Medical Council (Conseil de l’Ordre des Médecins), unlike Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. However, practising aesthetic medicine requires appropriate medical qualifications and experience. At Claris Clinic, treatments are carried out by fully qualified professionals, including dermatologists, specially trained general practitioners and plastic surgeons.
