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.

Chronic fluid retention: prevention and treatment

Chronic water retention (oedema) has many causes

Chronic water retention is caused by many factors - chronic inactivity, poor diet, medicine use, kidney or heart insufficiency, liver dysfunction, injury, lymph gland removal after surgery are the most common - with genetic predisposition being a prominent aggravating factor in most cases.

 

Blood and lymph capillaries: if you don't use them, you lose them!

Chronic inactivity, i.e. lack of exercise, sedentary lifestyle, immobilisation due to injury or disease, initially leads to blood and lymph vessel dysfunction, and is reversible. However, after prolonged inactivity, the blood and lymph vessels become weaker and cannot perform their function properly, leading to chronic fluid retention. This is a classic case of "if you don't use it, you lose it" and works n exactly the same way as muscle wasting works. However, muscles can increase in size and strength with exercise, while blood vessels and lymph vessels can't.

 

Your blood and lymph vessels: they are what you eat!

A diet poor in protein, vitamin C and flavonoids, all important in collagen production and blood/lymph vessel strength can have a detrimental effect in blood and lymphatic vessel function and therefore cause chronic fluid retention. Lack of omega-3 oils and an excessive intake of omega-6 oils or saturated fat can lead to inelastic blood vessels, inflammation and increase capillary blood clotting, also aggravating water retention. A diet rich in sugar and excessive carbohydrate consumption can deteriorate the quality of collagen and other proteins that make up the blood vessel walls due to the creation of AGE compounds (advanced glycation end-products) and consequent collagen fibre cross-linking and blood vessel wall stiffness.

 

Other lifestyle causes

Certain medicines can have a detrimental effect on blood vessels, as well as kidney, liver and circulatory system function, quite often leading to chronic water retention. Injury to the veins, due to prolonged standing or due to impact and the removal of lymph glands after cancer surgery are two other common factors.

 

Heredity is not a life sentence: you can control your genes with your lifestyle

Finally, genetic predisposition plays an important role in chronic water retention, especially when combined with sedentary lifestyle and poor diet. Our genes are highly influenced by lifestyle, being switched on or off by nutrients in our food, toxins, stress levels, the effects of exercise etc. We may have "bad" genes and keep them dormant most of the time by following a wholesome lifestyle, or we may be gifted with "good" genes that we permanently keep switcdhed off by living an artificial lifestyle.

 

Learn more from an expert!

To learn more about what causes chronic water retention in your case and how to naturally prevent / reduce / manage it with diet, exercise, lifestyle change and nutritional supplements specific to your case, you may book the one-hour Lipo Consultation, which is offered at 25% discount, as your introductory LipoTherapeia appointment.

 

Ten tips to help you prevent and manage chronic fluid retention

The best way to prevent chronic water retention is by respecting nature. In most cases our artificial lifestyle is the cause of chronic water retention, which we can prevent by:

  1. Eating foods rich in flavonoids, antioxidants and other phytonutrients (most fruit and vegetable fit that description, with some being more potent and other being more irrelevant)
  2. Eating foods rich in protein (lean meat, lean poultry, fish, pulses/legumes and eggs all fit that description; cheese is not a preferable source of protein due to high saturated fat content)
  3. Eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids (flax seeds/linseeds, walnuts, oily fish, vegetables)
  4. Avoiding foods rich in saturated and trans fats (cheese, fatty cuts of meat, pies, biscuits, chocolate etc.)
  5. Avoiding sugar (sweets, sugary drinks, breakfast bars, sweetened yoghurt, breakfast cereals etc.)
  6. Exercising at least three times a week and making an effort to walk/cycle to work every day
  7. Avoiding unnecessary chemicals and medicines
  8. Receiving regular lymphatic stimulation treatments (such as LipoTherapeia's Lipo Active Cellulite Massage) and lymphatic drainage treatments (such as LipoTherapeia's Lipo Active Lymphatic Wrap)
  9. Applying a high quality fluid retention-fighting cream such as the Lipo Actives. The Lipo Actives contain several natural active ingredients that nourish lymph and blood vessels, improve their function and structure and offer you both immediate results with one application (as quick as thirty minutes) as well as long-term results with repeated applications
  10. The Lipo Consultation will offer you all the personalised information about nutrition and exercise you need to prevent water retention and cellulite and improve all aspects of your health.

Treating chronic water retention with LipoTherapeia

If fluid retention reaches a chronic state it is almost impossible to completely reverse it, in much the same way cellulite is impossible to completely uproot if it has been established for years and/or if it is very advanced. However, LipoTherapeia can reduce or stabilise chronic fluid retention, thereby preventing complications and further deterioration and improving quality of life and overall health*. Uncontrolled fluid retention typically leads to inflammation which affects the health of the whole body - not just the health of local tissues - and therefore controlling this fluid retention and inflammation is very important.

Specifically, LipoTherapeia can help in many different ways:

  • The Lipo Consultation will offer you all the advice you need to minimise the effects of any health conditions you may be suffering from that causes water retention in your case (kidney insufficiency, congestive heart failure, liver dysfunction) with healthy nutrition and exercise. Specific advice will be given on how to minimise chronic fluid retention with specific foods, exercises and nutritional supplements that are the most effective for your case, and taking into account your complete medical history. Few supplements work for fluid retention, so receiving the right advice can save you from wasting time and money trying to find what works in and what is compatible with your case.
  • The natural ingredients contained in the Lipo Actives creams offer both immediate and long-term results against fluid retention which they fight in many different ways: by strengthening blood and lymph vessels, by improving their tone, by decreasing capillary blood coagulation, by decreasing inflammation and by assisting detoxification.
  • The Lipo Active Cellulite Massage is a vigorous manipulation of the superficial tissues that stimulates arterial flow, venous return, lymph drainage, as well as skin collagen production and blood vessel strengthening. These are not just empty promised, you will see and feel immediate results (increased circulation and swelling reduction within a few minutes of treatment) as well as long-term results (you will bruise less easily and benefit from better circulation and less swelling after 6-10 treatments. Easy bruising is an indicator of blood vessel fragility and dysfunction and we can guarantee you will bruise far less than you used to after just 10 sessions. This is because the Lipo Active Cellulite Massage, in combination with the Lipo Actives used for the treatment, strengthens your blood vessels!
  • The Lipo Active Cellulite Wrap is a unique combination of pressotherapy, one of the most effective methods of lymph drainage (equivalent to 26 pairs of hands performing a lymph massage on your legs and stomach) and a body wrap made of the Lipo Actives. The pressotherapy, not just drains excessive fluid directly by mechanical pressure but also increases the penetration and absorption of the Lipo Actives, which are packed with essential circulation-supporting nutrients. The Lipo Active Cellulite Wrap instantly relieves swollen, puffy ankles, legs, hips and stomach, and at the same time provides you with the nutrients your tissues need to regenerate themselves.

 

Intensive treatments followed by maintenance treatments. Special offers.

Intensive LipoTherapeia treatments are recommended for acute situations and to make quick progress, which can then be followed by maintenance treatments to stabilise chronic fluid retention, prevent further deterioration and improve your overall health and quality of life.

If your budget does not allow for regular treatments, then the Lipo Actives can offer you excellent results and value for money, offering your tissues nourishment and support for chronic fluid retention 24/7, with twice daily application. To order the Lipo Actives please click the link.

 

 

* LipoTherapeia is not suitable for you if you have had had your lymph glands removed after breast, ovarian or other cancer surgery. However, you can still benefit from the Lipo Diet and the Lipo Actives that can greatly assist you in managing water levels in your body more efficiently.

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.
