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.

The seven deadly (cellulite-producing) sins - Part 1

What are the worst things for cellulite?

This is the most common question I am asked at my practice, especially by younger clients who are interested in cellulite prevention more than cellulite reduction. In a previous article I have analysed the causes of cellulite in a more general way. The following list however gives you more specific information on the 7 most important lifestyle causes of cellulite, i.e. the things you can practically avoid to prevent cellulite or to stop it from becoming more pronounced.

 

The seven deadly (for the appearance of your legs) sins

This list was compiled according to the information I received from more than 1,000 clients which I have personally treated during the last 10+ years, and according to what science has to say about the the physiology of cellulite. On this page you may read about the three main causes (the deadly triad as I call it): sugar, inactivity & the pill. On the next page you may read about the other four: Binge eating, Smoking, Alcohol, Hydrogenated/fried fats and oils.

 

1. Sugar

Sugar consumption is the most important cause of cellulite today. Sugar and all it's forms (sucrose, fructose, dextrose, maltose, glucose, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), maltodextrin etc.) comprise an ever increasing part of our diet these days.

Sugary foods (pastry, sugar, fructose, deserts, honey, chocolate, cocktails, jam, cola drinks etc.) don't just provide the female body with excessive calories but also with insulin, i.e. the means of depositing those calories straight into the fat cells (including the cellulite fat cells). Sugary foods, especially when consumed by sedentary people, stimulate the secretion of excessive amounts of insulin, a hormone that in turn mediates the absorption of sugars by the adipocytes (fat cells) where they are converted into fat. Furthermore, insulin stimulates fat deposition into the fat cells as well.

In addition, sugars cause deterioration and ageing of the connective tissue (including skin and the collagen fibres found in the cellulite tissue) through a process called glycation.

Because of the excessiveness of sugar consumption today sugar has to be top of this list, especially if it's consumption is combined with inactivity.

 

2. Inactivity

Inactivity is a close second to sugar consumption as a leading cause of cellulite. Inactivity upsets the calorie balance and encourages large amounts of calories to be stored as fat in the adipocytes, including the adipocytes found in the "cellulite layer" of the hips and thighs. In combination with sugar consumption this process is accelerated and very quickly leads to cellulite creation.

Like sugar which has a "double whammy" effect in cellulite creation, inactivity does not just cause cellulite by upsetting your body's calorie balance. Inactivity denies your connective tissue cells (fibroblasts) of the valuable mechanical stimulation they need to stay functional and productive. Moreover, inactivity encourages your fat cells to proliferate at the expense of fibroblasts, thereby replacing your firmness with fat...

If you though that inactivity in combination with sugar consumption is bad enough for your body, wait until you hear how hormonal contraception can make things even worse...

 

3. The "pill"

The pill may have contributed to the liberation of women, uncoupling the issue of reproduction from that of sex, but it has also put a new word in our vocabulary: cellulite.

There is no denying that the word cellulite appeared in our language (at least in the French language to begin with) at roughly the same time that the use of the contraceptive pill became widespread - and for good reason.

Estrogen is the main factor why women develop cellulite and men don't. Estrogen stimulates the proliferation of fat cells in the subcutaneous layer of the skin setting the foundations for the development of cellulite. In addition, estorgen ensures that there is a higher percentage of antilipolytic enzymes (enzymes that stop the breakdown of fat) in the thigh and hip fat cells, both on the surface (cellulite) and deeper inside the body (storage fat).

Estrogen itself does not cause cellulite, but in combination with sugar consumption, inactivity, overeating and other factors, acts as a catalyst for the creation of cellulite. Furthermore, excessive amounts of artificial, alien to the body estrogens provided by hormonal contraception in the form of pills, patches and coils, further accelerate cellulite development.

Pregnancy is another situation where estrogen levels are high in the body (and consequently a leading cause of cellulite,) but it is hardly a deadly sin, so it is not analysed in this article.

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.
