Alma PrimeX – body contouring

Alma PrimeX targets both problems, but through different mechanisms. The ultrasound component targets fatty tissue and leads to a reduction in fat cell volume, while RF improves skin quality and tightness. This means that the circumference can be reduced, but the effect is not the same as surgical fat removal.

Fat cells primarily decrease in volume. In some patients, there is also a permanent loss of some fat cells, but this depends on the area, the thickness of the fat layer and the body's individual response. This is not liposuction and should not be viewed as such.

In most cases, no. Alma PrimeX primarily affects body measurements and contour rather than overall body weight. Changes are more often noticed in clothing and the mirror than on the scales.

In most patients, there is a visible improvement in skin structure and a reduction in the appearance of cellulite. For mild and moderate forms of cellulite, the effects can be longer-lasting, whereas with severe, fibrotic cellulite, an improvement is expected, though not complete removal.

On average, 3 to 4 treatments are needed to see clear changes in measurements, skin tightness and the appearance of cellulite. In some patients, the first changes are visible even earlier, but the full effect develops gradually, over the course of several weeks after the final treatment.

Treatments are most commonly performed at intervals of 7 to 14 days, depending on the type of treatment, the area being treated and the skin's reaction.

Results are not permanent if fundamental factors such as diet and physical activity are completely ignored. If body weight increases significantly, fat deposits may return. With a stable weight, the results are largely maintained.

Most patients feel a pleasant warmth and slight pressure. In individuals with a lower pain threshold or more sensitive skin, some discomfort may occur, but the treatment is generally well tolerated and does not require recovery time.

The most common effects are transient redness, mild sensitivity or a feeling of warmth in the treated area, which disappear within a few hours. Mild swelling or bruising may rarely occur, especially in individuals with sensitive capillaries.

The treatment is not recommended for pregnant women, people with a pacemaker, metal implants in the treatment area, active skin infections, or those with serious systemic illnesses without prior consultation with a physician.

No. Alma PrimeX is an aid to body contouring, especially for localised fat deposits and sagging skin that respond poorly to exercise. It cannot replace the fundamental principles of a healthy lifestyle.

Results depend on the thickness of the fat layer, skin elasticity, hormonal status, genetics and lifestyle habits. Therefore, an individual assessment and realistic expectations are always recommended before the treatment.

Yes. Shockwave therapy is often combined with Alma PrimeX treatments because it has a mechanical effect on the fibrous septa in subcutaneous tissue, improves local circulation and facilitates the breakdown of fatty deposits. In practice, shockwave therapy is most commonly performed between PrimeX treatments or immediately before the radiofrequency phase, especially in cases of pronounced, stubborn cellulite.

Yes, if there is a clear rationale. Alma PrimeX targets fatty tissue and tightens the skin, while Emsculpt works on muscle mass. The combination is recommended for people who want a simultaneous reduction in measurements and better muscle definition. The treatments are not done on the same day; they are planned as part of an individual protocol.

It is not compulsory, but it is very useful. Lymphatic drainage helps to accelerate the elimination of metabolic waste products from fat cell breakdown and can reduce the feeling of heaviness or mild tenderness after the treatment. It is especially recommended for individuals prone to swelling or slower lymphatic flow.

Prior to the first treatment, the area is measured and photographed in the same position and lighting, and the measurement is repeated at the follow-up visit after the series of treatments. The change depends on the initial condition, the number of treatments, diet and physical activity, so a specific number of centimetres cannot be guaranteed in advance.

Alma PrimeX, as well as combinations with shockwave therapy, Emsculpt and lymphatic drainage, are not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding, for people with a pacemaker or other electronic implants, metal implants in the treated area, active infections or skin inflammation, malignancies, severe blood clotting disorders, epilepsy, severe cardiovascular diseases, and immediately after surgical procedures in the treated area.
