ACTUAL BODY is a Toronto clinic offering science-backed, results-driven regenerative treatments—and it’s quickly catching the attention of both men and women looking for effective, non-invasive therapies. At its core, their treatments are focused on stimulating your body to regenerate and heal itself the way it’s naturally designed to… with a little help.
The modern clinic is already gaining attention, particularly around its recovery treatments using Acoustic Sound Wave therapy, as well as their body contouring treatments. One influencer posted on social media that she had visited to help with fat loss and lost nearly two inches on her very first visit. Naturally, that raised the question: Is this too good to be true?
I initially booked an appointment to address my chronic lower back pain. I was curious to see what ACTUAL BODY could offer from a recovery standpoint. But after seeing this social media post on fat loss I was curious to learn more about the body contouring treatment. I had a lot of questions.
I also wondered if treatments could be safely “stacked” in one visit to save time?
The answer: yes, they can.
After a thorough consultation, I committed to trying a combination of both treatments over the course of about 6 weeks. Here’s what I learned…
REPAIR & RECOVER — Chronic Pain
ACTUAL BODY offers regenerative therapy using supersonic SoundWave technology. It’s something that has been used in elite sports medicine as an effective way to help athletes in recovery. This treatment works by stimulating repair using your body’s own biological mechanisms. There are no injections, no lasers, no pain and zero downtime. It simply awakens cellular activity in our body.
I recently noticed discussions of exosomes suddenly everywhere in the wellness and even beauty arenas, but to my surprise, the technology itself isn’t actually new. The SoundWave technology used in treating my lower back has been around for over 60 years, originating in Germany and other European countries. It’s FDA-approved in the U.S. and received approval in Canada roughly three years ago.
So… how does this work with exosomes?
In simple terms, sound wave therapy triggers a natural healing response. When sound waves travel through the body, they stimulate cells, fibres, soft tissue, and even bones. It also helps to break down scar tissue and calcification. This vibration signals to the body that an area needs to be repaired, prompting the brain to send healing cells and new blood vessel growth to that specific location.
It’s similar to what happens when you fall and feel immediate pain: the nerves send signals, inflammation occurs, and the body responds. With repeated treatments—typically four to six—the process is reactivated multiple times. Essentially, you’re retraining your body to respond and repair more efficiently and for your cells to communicate effectively with each other again. We’re talking cellular health.
As stem cells migrate to the area, they release exosomes—tiny messenger particles that attach to damaged cells and deliver the information and materials needed to rebuild and repair. Each stem cell can produce thousands of exosomes, creating a powerful regenerative effect. Think of it as an army of healing messengers.
The machine used at ACTUAL BODY delivers very fine and gentle, targeted vibrations that the body responds to quickly. This helps with long-term tissue regeneration and reducing any inflammation.
By the way, their Exosome Therapy can also be safely used to treat skin rejuvenation and even hair restoration.
BODY CONTOURING – Fat Loss Acceleration
ACTUAL BODY’s body contouring Acoustic Sound Wave Therapy is a game changer. It’s gentle and non-invasive treatment works on a cellular level to stimulate the body’s ability to lose stubborn fat. By using low-frequency sound waves, the treatment helps target and break down excess fat, telling the body to let it go. It also helps improve circulation, safely encourages tissue repair (which is proven to also help tighten skin by stimulating the body’s natural process of improving collagen), supports metabolism and lymphatic flow, and even restores balance in the gut. That last part was an unexpected bonus.
Each session includes about 40 minutes on the therapy machine, followed by a 15-minute deep massage around the abdomen to help accelerate the process. Honestly, the massage alone is worthwhile. You’re also encouraged to continue daily massage at home to continue the contouring effect.
What was really interesting was how results are tracked. Measurements are taken by using measuring tape at the exact same spot before and after each visit—no fancy gadgets, no manipulation. You’re asked to stand naturally (no sucking in), and photos are taken so you can clearly see progress over time. Results are tracked before and after each session.
This Acoustic Sound Wave Therapy can also be used on arms, thighs and hips.
The Results
I was losing an inch at each visit. My clothing fit more comfortably, and I felt less bloated overall. I also noticed a change in how my body was getting rid of toxins. Drinking plenty of water post-treatment is strongly encouraged to help your body move things along.
There’s no downtime and no known side effects. As for whether the results are temporary —I was told the contouring effect stays, assuming you’re not actively working against your results by consuming loads of sugary cocktails, cheeseburgers and carbs on repeat.
I can see this being especially appealing for anyone wanting to feel more comfortable in their clothes before a big event, or for those dealing with stubborn areas that don’t respond to diet and exercise alone.
Both forms of treatment have been eye opening, very informative and effective. Staff here take the time to explain how everything works and offer realistic expectations. That influencer who lost two inches on her first visit is not common, but one inch is realistic and proven.
ACTUAL BODY is located at 4773 Yonge Street (easily accessible at the Yonge & Sheppard, also by TTC). To learn more, visit their site here.
