Service Details
With our Hollywood Spectra Laser, which is a Q-Switched 1064 laser, we are able to remove virtually all color tattoos safely and effectively on almost all skin types.
Tattoo removal with the Hollywood Spectra laser allows you to get rid of a tattoo you regret having or whose original appearance has become distorted.
Removal is based on the principle of selective photo-thermolysis. When the proper laser wavelength is applied to the tattooed area, the ink absorbs the energy from the laser, causing it to break down. Your body’s natural healing processes remove the broken down pigment over time. The Spectra Laser is designed to break up these pigment particles little by little. As your body heals, fading of the tattoo will be more noticeable after each session. Tattoo removal treatments should be performed four to eight weeks apart to give the body time to heal and to allow the body to also remove the tattoo ink fragments that were targeted at the previous session
Before & Afters
Have Questions?
We've compiled answers to the most common questions to help you make informed decisions about your beauty journey.
What Areas Can Sculpt Treat?
Sentient Sculpt treatments are performed in “zones.” Each zone is a space of approximately 36 square inches
(approx. 6″ x 6″, 4″ x 9″, or 5″ x 7″).
We treat each zone for approximately 15 minutes, and can treat 1-6 zones per session.
To help you visualize the areas that can be treated in a single session, here are the average zones by body part:
- Abdomen and love handles: 2-4 zones
- Front of thighs: 4-8 zones (2-3 zones per leg)
- Back of thighs: 4-8 zones (2-3 zones per leg)
- Saddlebags (outer thighs): 2-4 zones (1-2 zones per leg)
- Upper arms: 2-4 zones (1-2 zones per arm)
How Soon Will I See Results?
Visible skin tightening will begin to appear 30 days after your first treatment and continue for up to 3 months, and fat and cellulite reduction results will take 8-12 weeks to fully appear.
As the fat cells and fibrous bands in the dermis that cause cellulite dimples are broken down, your dermis will also begin to generate new collagen, resulting in smoother, firmer skin over time. The dissolved fat and tissue are metabolized by your body over time and flushed out naturally.
This treatment requires a consultation appointment and during it we will design a customized treatment plan depending on your needs. For cellulite and unwanted fat on the abdomen and thighs, we typically recommend 3-4 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results.
Does Sculpt Hurt?
- Sculpt is remarkably effective because it uses 2.45 Gigahertz energy, and Mechanical Movement Massage™, working from the inside out.
- Practically painless experience—doesn’t hurt like invasive and painful body treatments
- No social downtime or bruising—discrete and fast-healing process
Who Is An Ideal Candidate?
Sculpt can be used on any patient who would like to remove unwanted fat and tighten the skin all over the body.
It is safe for all skin types.

How Much Does Sculpt Cost?
Sculpt treatments are performed in zones. Each zone is approximately a 6"x6" area. We treat each zone for approximately 15 minutes, and can treat 1-4 zones per treatment session.
To help you visualize the areas that can be treated in a single session, here are the average zones by body part:
- Abdomen: 1-2 zones
- Love handles: 2 zones
- Front of thighs: 1-2 zones
- Back of thighs: 1-2 zones
- Saddlebags (outer thighs): 1-2 zones
- Upper arms: 1-2 zones
Sculpt requires a consultation appointment to determine treatment plan and pricing.
Consultations at Beyond Esthetics are complimentary.
What Is The Downtime?
Using microwaves, Sentient Sculpt uses up to 80% of the energy generated to penetrate the fat under the skin, destroying fat cells and the fibrous bands in the dermis that cause cellulite.
The other 20% of the energy is used in the upper layers of the skin, tightening and contracting skin to improve its appearance.
Thanks to this distribution of energy and the built-in dermis cooling system, the skin is not heated, reducing the risk of inflammation and discomfort. The treatment is usually painless, with no downtime needed.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
This answer varies by patient. It also varies on what area/severity of the area being treated. We will schedule you a complimentary consultation appointment to discuss your concerns and create a custom plan. Pricing will be determined in advance and there is no requirement to proceed with treatment after consultation. As always, we want you to be 100% comfortable with your options.
What Skin Types Can Be Treated?
It is safe for use on all skin types and most patients report little to no pain during treatment.

I highly recommend Kelly Shelly at Beyond Esthetics for your many beauty needs. She’s highly skilled and so very friendly. The time flies by while having a treatment, even one that is less than comfortable. She is a true professional.
Pre-Care Instructions
How To Prepare
- To get the best results from your Sentient Sculpt treatment, we advise that you avoid any moisturizer or emollient on the treatment area for 48 hours prior to each session. If the skin is dry, it allows for easier passage of the cool waves through to the target subdermal fat layer.
- We also suggest prepping the tissue with Alastins’ Body Transform (buy through our direct Alastin link or stop in the Ontario office). Body Transform includes TriHex Technology® to support the production of new, healthy elastin and collagen. When used to complement body-sculpting treatments, the peptides in the patented LipoDRONE™ delivery system help you achieve the appearance of even firmer, more toned skin on the body, giving you better results!
- To assist with lymphatic drainage, you should drink an additional liter of water per day on your treatment day, and on the day before and after treatment.
Post-Care Instructions
Aftercare
- For the first day after treatment, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and avoiding heat. This means avoid any extreme sun tanning or exercise the first day.
- We recommend using our vibration plate to promote lymphatic drainage, or doing a lymphatic massage.
- Some patients do notice small nodules after the procedure from the fat cell disruption, this is normal and will typically resolve in 2 to 3 weeks.
Please do not hesitate to call the office with any questions or concerns at 567-560-5558.
