Body Treatments in Montreal

Institut V Esthétique offers professional body treatments in Montreal, in the heart of the Beaubien neighbourhood in Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve. Our body contouring, detoxification and firming treatments combine advanced technologies with expert manual techniques to help you sculpt, tone and revitalize your figure.

At 6532 Rue Beaubien Est, Montreal, QC H1M 1A9, Alexandra Vivanco, founder of Institut V and certified esthetician, oversees every body protocol. Whether you want to reduce cellulite, slim your figure, detoxify your body or simply treat yourself to a moment of deep well-being, we have the treatment you need.

Why choose body treatments at Institut V?

Non-invasive body contouring has transformed modern esthetics. No more costly, risky surgical procedures - the technologies we use at Institut V Esthétique target localized fat deposits, firm the skin and reduce cellulite with no surgery, no anesthesia and no recovery time.

Our approach stands out through the strategic combination of several complementary treatments. Rather than offering a single isolated treatment, we design custom protocols that pair several technologies for optimal results. For example, the lymphatic drainage + lipocavitation combination is especially effective: the drainage prepares the body to eliminate the fat cells destroyed by lipocavitation.

During your free consultation, Alexandra assesses your goals, your areas of concern and your lifestyle to design a personalized treatment plan.

Our body treatment process

Consultation and body assessment - We review your goals (volume loss, firming, detoxification), identify the areas to treat, take baseline measurements and discuss realistic expectations.
Personalized protocol - We select and schedule the treatments best suited to your needs, with a session calendar optimized for maximum results.
Treatment - We perform the selected treatment or treatments in a comfortable, relaxing environment. Each session is carried out with precision, following established protocols.
Post-treatment recommendations - Nutrition and hydration advice to amplify results, along with complementary targeted exercises.
Follow-up and adjustment - Regular reassessment of results and adjustment of the protocol as needed to reach your goals.

Our body treatments and technologies

Lipocavitation - Ultrasound fat reduction

Lipocavitation uses high-frequency ultrasound to create microbubbles inside the fat cells (adipocytes). These bubbles cause the cells to burst, releasing their lipid content, which is then eliminated naturally through the lymphatic system and the liver. This treatment is non-invasive, painless and requires no downtime.

Treatable areas: abdomen, hips (love handles), thighs (inner and outer), arms, back. Lipocavitation is especially effective on localized fat deposits that resist exercise and diet.

Recommended protocol: 6 to 12 sessions, spaced one week apart. Results are progressive and cumulative - each session destroys more fat cells. Good hydration (at least 2 litres of water per day) and light physical activity after each session optimize fat elimination.

Infratherapy - Infrared therapy

Infratherapy uses infrared rays to penetrate deep into the tissues, raising internal body temperature and triggering intense sweating. This process promotes detoxification, inch loss, relief of muscle and joint pain, and improved blood circulation.

An infratherapy session can burn up to 600 calories and reduce your waistline by 1 to 3 cm immediately. The benefits build up with regular sessions. This treatment is also excellent for stress, insomnia and athletic recovery.

Maderotherapy - Wood therapy

Maderotherapy is a body massage technique that uses wooden instruments of various shapes, specially designed to follow the contours of the body. These tools apply targeted pressure that breaks up cellulite deposits, stimulates lymphatic circulation and reshapes the figure naturally.

Maderotherapy is especially effective for grade 2 and 3 cellulite. Combined with lymphatic drainage, it delivers visible results in smoothing and firming the skin. This ancestral Colombian technique has become one of the most popular body contouring treatments in the world.

Lymphatic drainage - Detoxification and de-bloating

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic therapeutic massage that stimulates the lymphatic system, which is responsible for eliminating toxins and metabolic waste. This treatment reduces swelling and water retention, improves circulation, strengthens the immune system and provides an immediate feeling of lightness.

Lymphatic drainage is recommended in preparation for or as a complement to lipocavitation: by activating the lymphatic system, it speeds up the elimination of the fat cells destroyed by the ultrasound. It is also an ideal treatment after air travel, during hot weather or for people who suffer from heavy legs.

Buttlift - Buttock firming

The Buttlift ($80 / 30 min) is a non-invasive treatment that uses suction technology to lift and firm the buttocks. This treatment stimulates blood circulation and collagen production in the treated area, creating a natural lifting effect. Combined with maderotherapy, it delivers even more dramatic results.

Back treatment

The back treatment ($140 / 1 hr) is a complete treatment that combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, extraction of impurities, a purifying mask and a relaxing massage. The back is an area often overlooked in skincare routines, yet it is prone to acne, blackheads and muscle tension. This treatment leaves the skin clean, smooth and relaxed.

Results and what to expect

Body treatment results vary depending on the treatment and the client's commitment:

Lipocavitation - Loss of 1 to 5 cm per treated area after a full protocol. Progressive results, visible from the 3rd session.
Infratherapy - Immediate loss of 1 to 3 cm. Immediate detoxifying and relaxing effect. Cumulative results over several sessions.
Maderotherapy - Visible improvement in skin texture after 4 to 6 sessions. Progressive cellulite reduction.
Lymphatic drainage - Immediate feeling of lightness, visible reduction of swelling within 24 hours.
Buttlift - Immediate lifting effect. Cumulative results with regular sessions.
