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.

Toxins and cellulite

Your question: “Do toxins cause cellulite? I have been told that toxins have nothing to do with cellulite and that all the fuss about toxins and cellulite is not based on facts. What is the truth?“

Our answer

The truth is that fat accumulation is the most important aspect of cellulite, but toxin and waste product accumulation is also important, being one of the six aspects of cellulite. Toxins do contribute to cellulite creation and perpetuate it’s existence. A quick explanation of how toxins and waste products contribute to cellulite formation follows:

Toxins and waste products may:

  • Act as free radicals, also known as reactive oxygen species, or ROS (e.g. malondialdehyde etc.). These cause free radical damage on the cell and it’s DNA as well as glycation on the tissues. Free radical damage leads to inflammation and fluid retention, two other aspects of cellulite that we find in most women suffering from this esthetic condition. Glycation has the effect of degrading and hardening collagen and elastin (leading to the creation of AGE compounds, or Advanced Glycation End products), thereby severely contributing to the scar tissue formation and collagen degradation we see in cellulite.
  • Act as estrogen receptor agonists (e.g. Bisphenol A, Parabens, PCBs, contraceptives, poorly detoxified natural estrogen compounds due to poor gut and liver detoxification etc.). These stimulate the creation of new fat cells. The main reason that women do develop cellulite whilst men are not affected by this aesthetic condition is estrogen. In fact some men with high estrogen levels, such as older men, the overweight/obese or those who undergo gender change, do develop cellulite.
  • Disrupt the metabolic processes of the cells, causing early cell death (apoptosis) or the opposite, uncontrolled growth. Apoptosis of skin fibroblasts (collagen and elastin-producing cells) will lead to poor skin tone, which is part of he cellulite problem. Apoptosis of blood vessel fibroblasts will lead to poor circulation and water retention, which is another important part of cellulite. Uncontrolled growth of fat cells, on the other hand, is the most important characteristic of cellulite.
  • Cause fatigue and/or neurological symptoms (e.g. feeling “low” or anxious) which invariably lead to increased comfort food intake (to feel better) and exercise avoidance (due to low energy levels). The combination of poor diet and physical activity can easily lead to fat gain, and in many cases cellulite.

This analysis of how toxins and waste products can cause or increase cellulite can fill several pages, but the simple fact is that toxins are part of the cellulite problem, although they are not the number one factor (fat accumulation is).

However, if the definition of toxin includes artificial estrogens (HRT, contraceptives), then we can safely say that toxins are a leading cause of cellulite. Many experts believe that several artificial hormones do behave as toxins, as they are not in a natural form that the body recognizes, which in turn fails to detoxify them properly, leading to cell function disruption. In many cases those substances are much more powerful than the natural female hormones, leading to the creation of cellulite - among other health problems.

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.
