Does it typically take three months to see maximum effects of a Smoothshapes procedure?
Hello,
Assuming you have received at least 8 treatments - no, you do not have to wiat 3 months to see any resultst in my experience. Not all patients get "good" results in their mind after 8 treatments. Having said this, I have had patients volunteer that their husband saw improvement after one treatment! More work needs to be done to provide consistency and improve efficacy. The device does work and more information should be out soon about this device.
Using an analytical camera device called the VECTRA, I was able to see improvement, objectively after 3-4 treatments. Six months after 8 treatments and with NO maintenance treatments, the majority of patients were improved.
Does Smoothshapes take up to three months to see maximum benefits?
Hello,
I have completed a 6 month study for the company. My observations were; patients saw improvement after 4 treatments. Not all patients were happy with their end result - why? - age, expectations, original problem, personal anatomy, I could go on and on about the possible reasons. The majority looked better 6 months after their 8th treatment - no maintenance therapy. Using a analytical camera system that eliminates the impact of lighting = no over exposed "after" pictures was the basis for determining efficacy.
Regarding 3-month results, from looking at the pictures, the 1 mon data looked the best. The 3 vs 6 mon data was about the same.
