As warm weather approaches, aesthetic practices see a predictable surge in patients seeking body contouring treatments.
This timing is no coincidence: According to a NewBeauty report citing The Aesthetic Society, spring and early summer is the busiest time for aesthetic procedures. This trend occurs annually as individuals get ready for summer fun and vacations.
For forward-thinking practices, this seasonal demand represents a significant business opportunity.
Cartessa's premier body contouring technologies一PHYSIQ 360 and LipoAI一provide the advanced solutions your patients can enjoy while delivering the clinical results and business advantages your practice needs during this crucial season.
Of course, timing is an important factor in aesthetic treatments. Results often develop progressively, with patients typically starting procedures several months before they showcase their transformation.
This insight underscores the importance of educating patients about realistic timelines and initiating treatments well before warmer weather events.
The increased focus on outdoor activities and summer travel naturally drives patient interest in body contouring.
Many patients become more conscious of areas they want to address as they anticipate wearing less clothing and spending more time at beaches, pools, and outdoor gatherings.
This surge creates several opportunities for forward-thinking aesthetic practices. Here's how you can leverage this seasonal trend:

For practices looking to offer effective non-invasive solutions, PHYSIQ 360 delivers remarkable results with maximum convenience.
This innovative system features proprietary Sequential Thermal & Electrical Pulse (STEP) technology that delivers both electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and targeted laser energy (LZR).
This dual-modality approach enables both muscle toning and fat reduction in a single treatment session.
PHYSIQ 360 offers distinctive advantages that align perfectly with patients' pre-summer needs and expectations:
For optimal summer-ready results, PHYSIQ 360 treatments should be spaced approximately seven to ten days apart. Most patients see visible improvement after four to five sessions, with continued enhancement as muscle tone improves and fat reduction progresses. With this predictable timeline, practitioners can easily develop treatment plans that align with patients' summer goals.
Beyond clinical benefits, PHYSIQ 360 delivers substantial practice advantages that make it an excellent investment, especially during high-demand seasons:
For patients seeking more dramatic transformation, LipoAI represents a breakthrough in liposuction technology, delivering superior results with enhanced safety.
LipoAI utilizes predictive artificial intelligence to transform the liposuction experience. The system's advanced algorithms analyze tissue characteristics in real-time, optimizing treatment parameters for each patient's unique anatomy.
Through its sophisticated AI-driven approach, this next-generation platform delivers several breakthrough advantages over conventional methods:
While LipoAI offers advantages over traditional liposuction, patients still require recovery time before summer events. Downtime will vary depending on the patient and the procedure performed. Patients may expect some light bruising in the days following the procedure and swelling during the recovery process, which typically lasts a few weeks.
