Hi I’m Shannon and I’m Kay and we’re your hosts of The Proven Profits Podcast

Hi there healthcare professionals, business owners, body contouring technicians and beauty professionals!  Welcome everyone!   Kay here. Shannon and I want to thank you for being here too!

As experienced medspa owners/operators and faculty for the Body Contouring Academy, we’re often asked how to get started with body contouring.  And we totally understand why.  Helping others feel better about themselves, and making a living while doing it, can be a dream come true!  But there’s so much to learn about body contouring treatments and building a body contouring business. That’s why we urge our students (and anyone starting out) to include mastery of the body contouring fundamentals in their studies.  Though the basics may seem mundane, mastering them is the surest way to advance your career and set your body contouring business up for success.   In this article, we’ll fill you in on a body contouring fundamentals resource you should not do without on your journey to study body contouring.   And…we think you’ll love it!

But first, we’re gonna share our answers to 3 related questions (from those who want to study body contouring).  Chances are you are wondering about these too.

So the first question is 

What if you’ve already completed body contouring treatment courses and skipped studying the fundamentals?  

If you’ve already taken a body contouring certification course (or more), that’s absolutely okay.  

You can successfully kick off your body contouring business before you gain mastery of the body contouring basics.  

Many of our students have opted to get their business off the ground first using our low cost body contouring business startup model.  In our body contouring low cost startup model, your Step One is getting educated in treatments and technologies by completing a body contouring certification course.  

And without a doubt, those courses must be authored by body contouring experts you trust!   

But how do you identify a body contouring expert? How do you know?

Look for this.  Make sure this is a person or persons who have gone before you, spent years developing techniques, systems and protocols, and lay out a clear path for you to follow.

Second question and answer…

What body contouring treatment courses should you take first when you want to study body contouring?

Without a doubt, the best ‘first’ body contouring course should be on a multi-technology platform machine

Consumers (customers and potential customers) share a wide variety of body concerns.  So when you start to study body contouring, you should consider a course teaching you to perform treatments capable of  addressing as many body concerns as possible. 

Here are the most common requests:

Reduce fat

Tighten skin

Minimize cellulite

Firm and build muscles

Reduce stretch marks 

Lift and enhance buttocks

That’s a lot of body concerns!  And that’s exactly why, when you study body contouring, we recommend choosing a ‘first’ body contouring certification course that teaches on a multi-technology machine to give you the ability to address more than one of these issues.  

Here’s our #1 recommendation:

Our Body Contouring 6 in 1 Masterclass will give you certification in 4 technologies!

Ultrasound Fat Cavitation

RF (Radiofrequency) Skin Tightening

Vacuum/LED combination 

Lipo Laser 

Empowering you to treat 4 body issues!

Unwanted fat

Loose skin

Cellulite

Stretch Marks

Like this course?  Get the details for the 6 in 1 Masterclass in today’s show notes.  Just click the link.

But what if you want to limit your practice to natural and holistic or you’d just like to offer a holistic technology.  

The best ‘first’ body contouring course using a holistic technology machine

⇨ When you study body contouring, if prefer holistic technology, take a look at the best holistic body contouring ‘first’ treatment alternative, our Vacuum Therapy 4 in 1 Masterclass.  

⇨ In the course, you’ll learn to utilize the holistic technology of Vacuum Therapy to address multiple body issues!  

Break down fat deposits

Defeat cellulite

Slim and detoxify

Enhance the buttocks

We left a link to the course details for the VT 4 in 1 Masterclass in today’s show notes too.

And the third question…and answer…

Can you get the body contouring fundamentals from taking body contouring certification courses?

And this is such a common misconception…

When you study body contouring, you might be thinking you’ll get the basics you need when you take a body contouring certification course.  

While it’s true most body contouring certification courses include the basics about the treatment, technology and body issue pertinent to the course, they do not include comprehensive body contouring basics. 

Here’s one example, our Booty (and body) Sculpting Masterclass includes these fundamentals: 

The science of vacuum therapy and vacuum cupping

Anatomy and physiology of the gluteal region

Conditions and pathologies of the gluteal region that may impact results

You can see that this is a wonderful resource for body contouring fundamentals related to this particular course and treatments, but it will not serve as a comprehensive body contouring fundamentals resource or a way to master the fundamentals. 

So…What is the best body contouring fundamentals resource when you want to study body contouring?

We must say.  Body contouring fundamentals are not as exciting as treatments and technologies.  We totally understand.

But learning the body contouring basics matters, and here’s why.  

The basics are the very foundation for everything else.

They enable you to understand the logic, the principles and the purpose of the more advanced studies that you’ll be learning.  

And they provide you with the knowledge you’ll need for problem solving as your career evolves.  You will come across new situations.  Situations that you did not cover in a course.  So it’ll be up to you to figure it out.

We know.  We’ve been there.

That’s why we authored our body contouring fundamentals course!
