95% Treatment Effectiveness

Meso-CRF offers *impressive results in comparison to the majority of radiofrequency, cavitation and needle-free mesotherapy treatments, because of it's high specifications and because it simultaneously combines these three techniques, also saving you time and money. These results occur when the treatment is combined with diet, exercise and alcohol avoidance.

However, nothing biological can be guaranteed by any method, surgical or non-surgical, including Meso-CRF. Our success rate after 12 sessions is about 95%, with a small percentage of women not experiencing satisfactory results in 12 sessions unless a large number of sessions is undertaken. This is usually due to the fact that many women continue being sedentary, drinking alcohol and overeating, thereby producing new cellulite whilst attempting to reduce it with a treatment... It is apparent that under such circumstances any anti-cellulite, slimming or toning treatment may not be effective.

In a very small number of cases satisfactory results are not produced in 12 sessions even if the client exercises and diets. Fortunately, after 500 sessions in the last 5 months we have only had two such cases, but we cannot guarantee that it will not happen again, as we do not pretend to be God (nothing biological can be guaranteed).

What we can guarantee, however, is that we will offer the most powerful and comprehensive anti-cellulite, fat-reducing and skin tightening treatment available, combined with our extensive knowledge and experience, to offer the best possible results to all our clients. And if after the end of your course a client needs a few extra sessions to achieve maximum results we will be happy to offer her a reduced price for those extra sessions so that she achieves those results!

 

99.6% Treatment Safety

The last 5 months we have provided 500+ Meso-CRF sessions and we only had 2 cases of mild swelling/irritation, which dissipated in about a week. The remainder 498+ sessions went smoothly with no problems whatsoever, so we can safely state that our treatments are 99.6% side-effect free!

 

Diet and exercise are essential

Naturally, you would not expect to lose cellulite/localised fat if you continued doing the things that caused the cellulite/local fat accumulation in the first place, i.e. poor diet, inactivity and/or drinking. It is biologically impossible for any body reshaping treatment to be effective under those circumstances, so we cannot emphasise enough the importance of diet, exercise and alcohol avoidance duting your course of treatments. Ideally, you should be losing half a pound of weight per week in order to maximise the effects of the treatment.

Beer and cellulite

Beer, carbs, alcohol and glycaemic index

Different types of alcohol have different effects on the body, depending on their alcohol and carbohydrate content. Beer seems to be one of the worst types of alcoholic drinks you can have, as it contains a high amount of high GI carbohydrates, in addition to alcohol. Because of this combination of the extremely high glycemic index carbs (GI=110) and alcohol (and quiet often the fattening, greasy, salty food that goes together with it), drinking beer is a recipe for belly fat and cellulite.

 

Why exactly is beer so fattening?

The glycaemic index describes the speed at which a food raises blood glucose levels (i.e. blood sugar levels) and, as a consequence, blood insulin levels. High glycemic index foods raise blood sugar levels very quickly and lead to an abrupt raise of blood insulin levels. Insulin is a hormone secreted by your pancreas to stimulate the absorption of nutrients (fat, glucose, aminoacids) by your cells, including your stomach fat cells and cellulite fat cells. In addition, alcohol raises the levels of the stress hormone cortisol, which is another fattening hormone, especially in combination with insulin. Cortisol is also a catabolic hormone, meaning that it leads to the loss of protein from tissues, thereby weakening your skin, connective tissue and blood vessels, thereby causing skin looseness and fluid retention.

As we described in the "What is celulite exactly?" page, cellulite is primarily superficial fat, lack of firmness and water retention - and alcohol, especially beer, causes all three of them!

 

Does that mean I have to quit beer altogether?

Well, why not? Wine is a much better alternative, especially red wine that contains antioxidants such as resveratrol, which to some extent balance the negative effects of the alcohol it contains - as long as you don't consume more than two small glasses (125ml) at any one day, and you don't make it a habit to drink those 1~2 glasses every single day.

Otherwise, if you love beer so much, make sure you don't drink excessively, don't have fattening food with it, choose a light beer (i.e. one with less alcohol and/or less carbohydrate content) and try to burn the calories the same evening - not the day after, when it will all be too late. Needless to say that beer with fish and chips is not a good idea, if you care about the smoothness of your thighs and stomach, neither eating a kebab at 3am after 6 pints of beer...

 

For personalised information about cellulite...

...you may consider the Lipo Consultation. And if you have already consumed too much beer and need to reduce your cellulite, LipoTherapeia and the Lipo Actives may be of help!

You can stay cellulite-free for life...

...if you exercise a lot, consume a healthy diet and avoid smoking, the contraceptive pill/other unnecessary drugs and excessive alcohol/coffee. The more you deviate from the above principles the higher your likelihood of developing cellulite or the need for quality cellulite treatments and cellulite creams to help you prevent/fight cellulite. If you already have had cellulite for more than a year, or if it is extensive, then quality creams and treatments (in combination with a cellulite-specific diet and exercise) are absolutely necessary: cellulite will not be eliminated only by diet and exercise if it has been established for a long time or if it is quite progressed.
