Treatment effectiveness and customer satisfaction

 Meso-CRF offers impressive* results in comparison to the majority of radiofrequency, cavitation and needle-free mesotherapy treatments, because it simultaneously combines these three techniques, also saving you time and money (a course of 6x Meso-CRF sessions is equivalent to 18x stand-alone RF, cavitation and mesotherapy treatments). These results occur when the treatment is combined with diet, exercise and smoking/alcohol avoidance.

However, nothing biological can be guaranteed by any treatment or any technology, surgical or non-surgical, including Meso-CRF. For this reason we never make specific guarantees about specific results after a specific number of sessions, as those not only depend on the effectiveness of the technology used but also on factors over which we have no control, such as the client’s diet, exercise and drinking habits; her genetics; her overall health; the severity of her cellulite/skin looseness/fat accumulation; and her goals/expectations.

Although the technology (the strongest and most cellulite-specific radiofrequency, cavitation and no-needle mesotherapy) and it’s application (highly experienced and exclusively specialising in radiofrequency, cavitation and needle-free mesotherapy - and nothing else) are exactly the same, results and satisfaction rate naturally vary from person to person due to all the above factors.

But we can definitely promise that we offer the best technical expertise, vast experience (100+ sessions per month) and probably the most technologically advanced equipment in order to offer all our clients maximum results and the best chance of reducing cellulite, loose skin and localised fat deposits with a non-intrusive method. And if after the end of your course you need a few extra sessions to achieve maximum results we will be happy to offer you a good price for those extra sessions!


Treatment safety

Meso-CRF is extremely safe and comfortable and we never had any more serious side effects than mild swelling/irritation, which only occurred twice during the last 500+ sessions and 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! We never had burns, excessive redness or any other visible or serious complication and we are proud not only of our safety record but actually of our client comfort record.

Although we cannot absolutely guarantee that an adverse effect will never occur (again, nothing biological can be guaranteed), it is reassuring to know that with us such events are extremely rare and temporary.

Most of our clients do feel relaxed during a Meso-CRF Face or a Meso-CRF Body treatment, with some of them relax so much that they actually end up dozing off. Only very mild redness occurs which typically dissipates in less than an hour.


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 during 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.


Great results, honest advice but no hype and miracles

We aim to offer great results and provide honest, down to earth, straightforward advice based on science, value, quality and lots of hard work.

On the other hand, if what you're looking is a radical, effortless, lunch-time solution that can magically eliminate cellulite/skin looseness/local fat deposits for ever with one single session (or even in as few as 3 or 4 sessions) at a very high price, then unfortunately we cannot help you, as we are not in the business of performing miracles (or ripping people off). You may waste your money somewhere else...

Do fizzy drinks cause cellulite? Part I: Phosphates, caffeine, sugar, carbonate, cola extract

Fizzy drinks have been implicated as one of the main causes of cellulite

...however not all fizzy drinks are the same: some are detrimental to your thighs' and bum's health and appearance whilst a small minority are absolutely harmless, depending on their ingredients.

 

Different fizzy drink ingredients have a different effect on cellulite

The most common ingredients in fizzy drinks are: phosphoric acid, caffeine, sugar in all it’s forms, carbonate, cola, aspartame, sucralose, preservatives, fruit juice, alcohol and flavorings among others. Initially I will comment on each ingredient separately and then I will give you the lowdown on the best and the worst fizzy drink ingredients and the best and worst fizzy drinks for cellulite.

  • Phosphoric acid or phosphate is an inorganic acid that increases acidity in the body. Excessive acidity reduces the detoxification capacity of the liver and forces the body to remove calcium from the bones and teeth in order to reduce blood acidity (calcium is alkaline and neutralises acids such as phosphoric acid). Phosphates are contained in cola drinks.
  • Caffeine, is a well known diuretic and stimulant. Due to it's diuretic action caffeine may initially reduce water retention, an important part of cellulite, but continuous and excessive use may lead to tolerance and consequent chronic water retention. Nervous stimulation from caffeine may temporarily increase energy levels and therefore energy consumption and fat burning, but the effect is short-lived and the subsequent fatigue will lead to reduced energy consumption and, more importantly, to cravings for sugar, the number one cause of cellulite today. Caffeine in creams works a bit differently, and if used wisely can actually decrease celulite. Caffeine is typically contained in cola drinks and energy drinks.
  • As we mentioned above sugar is the number one cause of cellulite these days. Sugar consumption has sky-rocketed that last few years, partly due to an emphasis on low fat diets and the subsequent availability of foods low in fat and high in sugar, and partly due to increased stress caused by more and more sedentary, desk-bound occupations. Sugar is the number one enemy of your legs: it is converted into fat unless it is used immediately, it causes skin aging and skin looseness via the process of glycation and it increases levels if inflammation in the body (which consequently leads to increased blood viscosity and poor circulation). Sugar in pastries may be bad enough, but sugar diluted in water is really fattening, due to the very fast absorption of the mixture. The above do not apply to sucrose only (what we call commonly call sugar) but also to all other isolated sugars, including fructose, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), glucose, maltose etc. There is a big difference between natural sugars contained in an apple, and isolated, refined sugars such as high fructose corn syrup contained in a fizzy drink. The former has positive effects on your system while the latter is detrimental to your health and your figure. Sugar is present in all fizzy drinks except sparkling water and soda water.
  • Carbonate is a very weak acid that becomes carbon dioxide when not under pressure, i.e. as soon as you open the bottle or the can. Carbonate does not increase acidity in the body as it gets broken down in the stomach. The same cannot be said for phosphate or orthophosphate found in cola drinks which do leave an acid residue when absorbed by the body. Carbon dioxide is easily removed though the breath. Carbonate is the only innocent ingredient is fizzy drinks. Since carbonate is the substance that gives the fizzy drinks their fizz, it is contained in all fizzy drinks.
  • Cola extract is obviously included in cola drinks. Although cola is a source of caffeine, it contributes very little caffeine to cola drinks, with most of the caffeine being added to them. Cola extract is absolutely fine and it is occasionally used in health supplements, although I would stop short of calling Coca Cola a herbal drink, as they attempted to call it a few years ago…

 

Go to: Part II | Go to: Part III

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.
