In The Aesthetic Guide's latest roundup of aesthetic body treatments, PHYSIQ was featured as one of the trending non-invasive body treatments. Below is an excerpt from An Update on Aesthetic Body Treatments, written by Cindy J. Papp.

Next on the radar is PHYSIQ by DEKA (Calenzano, Italy) a hands-free device that utilizes sequential thermal and electrical pulse (STEP) technology, available in the U.S. exclusively through Cartessa Aesthetics (Melville, N.Y.). This device delivers variable EMS while the super luminescent diode matrix (SDM) uses deep heat to target tissue during a single session.

According to board-certified plastic surgeon Kenneth Rothaus, MD (New York City, N.Y.), PHYSIQ stands out as the only device that can treat fat and muscle in the same session. “It offers an effective treatment to those patients who are not candidates for surgery or do not wish for surgery, and in my opinion, it has expanded the demographics of patients seeking body contouring,” he said. “We are seeing many more millennials and Gen Z patients who are not candidates for liposuction, but can benefit from the dual action of stimulating and toning muscle and reducing subcutaneous tissue.”
