MedWave Protocols
Two Goals.
One Powerful Platform.
Not everyone wants aggressive fat destruction. Some clients prefer a gentler, non-destructive approach — treatments that work with the body's biology rather than against it. MedWave's 635nm Narrow Light Technology deflates fat cells by causing them to release stored contents naturally, without freezing, heating, or destroying them. The cells remain intact and healthy — they simply shrink. That philosophy extends into two curated protocols. The Gentle Contour adds Onda Coolwaves for skin quality and Ballancer PRO for lymphatic support — a complete comfort-first body contouring experience. The Slim & Strong pairs MedWave with EMSCULPT Neo for clients who want gentle fat reduction plus serious muscle building. Both protocols start with MedWave's zero-contact, 3,000-watt light technology. Both deliver measurable results. The difference is your second priority: skin refinement or muscle definition. For Houston professionals who want a gentler approach — no aggressive treatments, no social downtime before a Galleria-area lunch or River Oaks benefit — MedWave protocols deliver without disruption.
One Platform. Two Protocols.
Choose based on your priority: skin refinement or muscle definition. Both start with MedWave's zero-contact 635nm light technology.
MedWave Contour-100S
585 high-output LEDs project 3,000 watts of precisely focused 635nm red light energy into subcutaneous fat tissue. Fat cells form temporary pores and release stored triglycerides without being damaged — they deflate naturally. Paired with a metabolic activation vibration plate (5 minutes before and after) for 35% greater effectiveness. Zero contact, zero pain, measurable inch loss from session one. In a city where swimwear and fitted clothing are year-round wardrobe staples, those inches matter immediately.
- 3,000 watts from 585 LEDs with proprietary lens design
- Fat cells release contents — shrink, not destroyed
- Zero contact — light panel never touches the body
- Up to 3 inches combined reduction per session
- 26-minute total protocol with vibration plate
THE GENTLE CONTOUR: Onda + Ballancer PRO
For clients who prioritize comfort and skin quality alongside inch loss. Onda Coolwaves addresses structural cellulite and tightens skin with microwave energy — complementing MedWave's fat cell deflation with surface refinement. Ballancer PRO lymphatic compression accelerates the elimination of everything MedWave releases and reduces fluid retention. This is the most comfortable body contouring protocol at Ovation — every component feels pleasant. Women from Bellaire and West University who want results without rearranging their schedule choose this track.
- Onda Shallow handpiece treats structural cellulite
- Onda Deep handpiece tightens skin envelope
- Ballancer PRO accelerates fatty acid elimination
- Every treatment in this protocol is comfortable
- Ideal for comfort-first clients who want complete results
THE SLIM & STRONG: EMSCULPT Neo
For clients who want to slim down AND build definition. MedWave deflates fat cells with light while EMSCULPT Neo's HIFEM + RF builds 25% more muscle and burns 30% more fat in treatment areas. Two completely different mechanisms — gentle fat release plus supramaximal muscle contraction — that complement each other without competing. The result: slimmer measurements and visible muscle tone.
- MedWave: gentle fat cell deflation (non-destructive)
- EMSCULPT Neo: 25% more muscle + 30% less fat
- Two different mechanisms = complementary results
- No overlap — each technology does what the other can't
- Ideal for clients who want slimmer AND stronger
Both Protocols at a Glance
Your provider will recommend which track fits your goals, or design a hybrid that includes elements of both. Both tracks are performed in private suites at our Woodway Drive office, five minutes from the Galleria.
Baseline
ShapeScale maps fat distribution, skin quality, muscle mass, and cellulite. Your provider recommends The Gentle Contour (skin priority) or The Slim & Strong (muscle priority) based on your anatomy and goals.
Gentle Contour Track
MedWave sessions (2x/week for 3-5 weeks) for inch loss. Onda sessions (every 2-3 weeks, 3-4 sessions) for skin tightening and cellulite. Ballancer PRO after every session for lymphatic support. Total protocol: 6-10 weeks.
Slim & Strong Track
MedWave sessions (2x/week for 3-5 weeks) for inch loss. EMSCULPT Neo sessions (2x/week for 2 weeks, then maintenance) for muscle building. The two can be performed on the same day. Total protocol: 4-8 weeks.
Hybrid Option
Some clients benefit from all four components — MedWave for light-based fat reduction, Onda for skin, EMSCULPT Neo for muscle, and Ballancer PRO for clearance. Your provider designs the sequencing based on priority.
Track Progress
Follow-up scans document inch loss, skin quality changes, and/or muscle gain. MedWave inch loss shows immediately; Onda and EMSCULPT Neo results build over 2-3 months.
