How the treatment works
The Mercedes Medwave Upgrade is a full-body slimming treatment using advanced body-contouring technology to reduce fat, tighten skin, and support cellular rejuvenation. During the 90 MINUTES session clinicians methodically treat multiple areas to contour the entire body, focusing on distribution and proportions rather than a single spot. The approach aims to improve overall silhouette while respecting each client's physiology.
Clients typically feel managed warmth, gentle pressure, or movement as providers tailor intensity to comfort and tissue response. Immediate changes to how clothing fits are possible, while the fuller contouring and skin tone shifts evolve over weeks as cells and connective tissues respond. Results depend on individual biology and post-treatment care rather than any single application.
What to expect locally
Our Downtown Santa Monica location sits on the 7th Street corridor near the Third Street Promenade and Civic Center, convenient for appointments before or after shopping and beach visits. High pedestrian and tourist traffic means both walk-ins and scheduled slots are common; allow extra time on weekends and evenings. The Downtown Santa Monica E Line and major bus routes make transit access straightforward.
Because Santa Monica’s Mediterranean climate supports year-round outdoor activity, many clients schedule treatments around vacations and seasonal goals. Demand peaks in January for post-holiday toning and again in May and June for summer preparation. Clients regularly travel from Venice, Marina del Rey, Culver City, Brentwood and West Los Angeles to use the service.
Aftercare and maintenance guidance
After a 90 MINUTES session most clients return to normal activity the same day; providers review specific aftercare during checkout. Practical steps such as staying hydrated, choosing loose clothing, and moderating vigorous exertion immediately afterward can help you feel comfortable while tissues settle. The team will outline what sensations are expected and what would require follow-up.
Pricing and follow-up planning are part of the treatment conversation: the Mercedes Medwave Upgrade is $99 for Mercedes‑Benz guests after a $100 promotional credit (regularly $199). Because contouring and skin response vary, clinicians recommend a maintenance plan based on your goals, lifestyle, and how your body responds to the initial session.
