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.

Protein, low protein diets and cellulite - Part 1

Why is protein so important for my looks?

Literally every body tissue that gives you shape and makes you look firm and young is made of protein. Your skin, muscles, fascia, ligaments and even your bones are made of proteins such as collagen and elastin. Collagen provides firmness, whilst elastin provides elasticity. A high protein level in those tissues can only make you toned and fit, whilst on the other hand, excessive fat and water gives you that loose, flabby, "cellulite-y" look (lack of firmness is one of the main facets of cellulite).

These skin, muscle, bone and connective tissue proteins (let's collectively call them "beauty proteins") degrade with time and need to be broken down and replaced with newly synthesized proteins by cells such as myocytes (muscle cells), fibroblasts (connective tissue cells, including skin cells) and osteoblasts (bone cells).

Beauty proteins can be degraded due to a variety of reasons. Some factors are listed below:

  • Simple wear and tear (ageing)
  • High sugar/excessive carbohydrate intake (sugar is lethal for body proteins as it degrades them via a process called glycation)
  • Immune cells action (as when you suffer from chronic, low grade inflammation, for example)
  • Fat cell action. Fat cells do break down the collagen structures around them in order to grow and accommodate more fat. This is a major cause of cellulite and the flabbiness that is associated with it.

To replace the "beauty proteins" with newly synthesized ones and maintain your skin firmness, your cells need aminoacids and peptides that can only be derived from dietary protein. This means eating fish, chicken, lean red meat (including lean beef, lean pork, lean lamb and game), eggs, low fat cheese (such as cottage and ricotta cheese), low fat milk and pulses (beans, lentils, peas, fermented soya products etc.).

 

But isn't too much protein, especially meat, bad for you?

Most women today don't realise how important protein is for their physical appearance and overall health, and unwittingly or purposely follow a low protein diet, with disastrous consequences. Excessive consumption of fatty red meat may be bad for you, but having no meat and animal food at all can be equally bad. With this negative attitude towards red meat among the female population it is no wonder that most women today are chronically borderline or actually anaemic. Not to mention cellulite and loose skin, of course...

I am amazed of how little protein my clients and female friends have. Quite often the amount is negligible, so it is no wonder why cellulite and loose skin is such a big issue today. The truth is that protein has been given plenty of bad press in the last couple of decades. Many nutritionists advise that you don't need a lot of protein because an excess "will tire your liver and kidneys". As a result most women avoid protein altogether, in favour of carbohydrates that "give you energy".

What women don't realise though, is that unless you burn those carbs with exercise and general physical activity they will inevitably become "stored energy" i.e. fat, and they will add inches to their thighs and millimeters to the height of their cellulite "bumps". Hence the popular adage about sweets and carbs: "once in the lips forever in the hips".

This negative consequence is in addition to the effect of sugar on skin protein degradation due to glycation, described above. Not to mention the negative effect fat cell expansion has on skin firmness, again mentioned above. So to conclude, things are very simple: lack of protein makes your skin loose, especially when combined with an excess of carbs and/or fat. Period.

And the other fact is that most women will not come anywhere close to tiring their kidneys and liver due to eating fish, chicken or low-fat red meat. It is just very difficult for most women to eat enough protein to exhaust their kidneys and liver. And the extra iron contained in the meat will be greatly appreciated by their bodies.

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.
