About the treatment
The name oversells it, so let us be precise
“Butt lift” suggests something is being added or physically raised. Neither happens here. What this treatment does is reduce the fat sitting low on the buttock and at the top of the thigh, and firm the skin over it — and the result of that is a shape that reads as lifted.
That distinction matters because the shape most people are unhappy with is not a shortage of volume. It is fullness in the wrong place: a heaviness underneath that blurs the line where the buttock ends and the leg begins. Take that away and the curve above it reads higher and more defined without a millimetre being added anywhere.
The mechanism is the same laser lipo we use elsewhere: energy causes fat cells in the treated zone to release their contents, and the lymphatic system carries them away over the following weeks. No anaesthetic, no incision, no recovery. You walk out of our Pembina Highway clinic and carry on with your day.
Being straight with you
What changes, and what does not
This is the section we would want to read before booking, so it goes near the top rather than buried at the bottom.
Changes: the line between buttock and thigh
The single most visible effect. Reducing the fullness low down re-establishes a boundary that had blurred, and that boundary is what the eye reads as lift.
Changes: how smooth the skin sits
Laser energy also stimulates collagen in the skin of the treated area. Firmer skin drapes more evenly over the contour beneath, which improves the dimpled appearance.
Does not change: size
Nothing is added. If more volume is what you want, this treatment cannot give it to you and you should know that now rather than after a course. We will say so at the consultation.
Does not change: your weight
It works on one region. The scale will not move, and it is not a substitute for anything else — but it reaches a deposit that squats and running reliably do not.
The difference
This is not a Brazilian butt lift
A surgical BBL
- An operating theatre and a plastic surgeon
- General or heavy sedation, with the risks that carries
- Your own fat moved from one area into another
- Sleeping face-down and avoiding pressure for weeks
- A dramatic size increase — that is what you are paying for
Our non-surgical laser lipo lift
- A treatment room and an aesthetician
- Fully awake, nothing numbed, nothing sedated
- Fat reduced where it blurs the shape, and cleared naturally
- Straight back to your day, with one instruction about sitting
- A sharper outline — definition rather than dimensions
These two are advertised using the same three words all over the internet, and the distance between them is enormous. We would sooner lose a booking than have somebody turn up expecting surgical results from an aesthetician with a handpiece. If a sharper, smoother outline without anaesthetic is what you are after, you are in the right place. If you want to be visibly bigger, you want a surgeon, and we will say so.
Indications
What is it good for?
Contour and skin quality across the buttocks and upper thighs.
Stretch marks over the area respond better to microneedling. Everything else is on our Winnipeg clinic page.
How a course runs
What to expect from a series
The number is set after we look
Not quoted from a price list in advance. How many sessions depends on the size of the deposit, the skin quality over it and what you are trying to achieve — all of which need to be seen.
Weekly spacing, gradual build
Sessions about a week apart, with the change accumulating as your body clears each round of released fat. Nothing dramatic appears between one appointment and the next.
Stable weight holds it
The disrupted cells are cleared permanently, but the remaining ones can still expand. Keeping weight steady afterwards is what protects the contour.
Getting ready
Pre & post treatment
Simple on both sides, with one instruction people routinely ignore: do not sit down for long straight afterwards.
On the day
- Water, from the day before. Not a token glass on arrival — the clearing phase runs on it.
- Something light to eat. A heavy meal beforehand is worth avoiding.
- Wear something forgiving. Waistbands and seams over the treated zone are the thing to plan around.
- Bare skin, please. Any cream or oil sitting on the area gets in the way.
- Flag anything relevant — recent breakouts, scarring or a medical condition affecting the area.
The two days after
- Stay off it. The one rule people break. Long stretches of sitting straight afterwards work against the result.
- A little swelling or warmth is expected. It settles without you doing anything.
- Cool compress if it helps, plus an unscented moisturiser.
- Nothing that raises your core temperature — hard training, hot baths and saunas can wait 48 hours.
- Keep drinking. Your lymphatic system is doing the remaining work and it needs the fluid.
Results
Non-surgical butt lift before and after
A client at You Glow Aesthetics. Look at where the line between buttock and thigh sits — that definition is the whole objective.
Individual results vary with the starting contour, skin elasticity, the number of sessions completed and whether weight stays stable afterwards.
