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.

What are the differences between the different pressotherapy machines available on the market?

What shall I look for when I choose my pressotherapy treatment?

Pressotherapy is a simple, safe and effective technique of lymphatic drainage and is ideal for the treatment of cellulite and water retention.

However, treatment varies considerably between different clinics and beauty salons. This is because there are dozens of different pressotherapy systems available on the market today, some of them being very efficient and some being a complete waste of time and money. The effectiveness of the pressotherapy equipment depends on the following five factors:

  1. Leg surface area covered by the pressotherapy boot
  2. Number of inflation compartments
  3. Pressure gradient along the full length of the boot
  4. Speed of compression-decompression
  5. Compression strength

 

1. Surface area that the pressotherapy garments cover

Generally speaking the higher the leg surface the boot covers the better. For example you would not want to have a machine that covers your feet and calves only, as is the case with quite a few cheap systems. This is because it doesn’t really make sense to pump the lymph up to the knee and then dump it there letting your body do the rest of the work all the way to the inguinal lymph nodes on your pelvis. For maximum results, the entire length of the leg, including calf, thigh and some of the hip should be covered.

 

2. Number of inflation compartments

Generally speaking the more the compartments the better. More compartments allow for more precise pressure graduation and therefore more effective lymphatic drainage and blood circulation enhancement. The standard 3-compartment boots are of not much use, 8-10 compartments being ideal. For the arms, 3-5 compartments are OK, whilst 1-2 compartments are too few. For the stomach 3-5 compartments are fine - one or two are also too few.

 

3. Pressure gradient

Just like with flight socks and graduated pressure tights, you would want your pressotherapy system to have a pressure gradient in addition to the alternate compression action it applies.

Although this sounds obvious, the fact is that many pressotherapy systems do not offer this gradient, thereby allowing the possibility of blood or lymph back-flowing, in exactly the same way blood and lymph back-flows in the case of chronic venous or lymphatic insufficiency. Blood and lymph back-flow is not something you want to happen in your veins and lymphatics - particularly not caused by a pressotherapy treatment...

Flight socks offer a pressure differential of 10-20mmHg, whilst a good pressotherapy system can offer 70mmHg and more along the entire length of the leg.

 

4. Speed of compression-decompression

Obviously the faster the speed the better! Once a portion of lymph is pumped out of specific blood/lymph vessel segment, then this portion can accept yet another portion of lymph/blood. Equipment that completes one compression-decompression cycle in 30 seconds will obviously be much more efficient than a cheaper or old fashioned machine that completes the same inflation-deflation cycle in 60 or even 120 seconds, saving you time and money!

 

5. Compression strength

Different machines apply different amounts of pressure on the legs. Generally speaking more pressure means more results - within reason of course. Machines that apply 30-40mmHg of pressure are not as efficient as those that go up to 100mmHg or even 120mmHg.

 

Beyond pressotherapy equipment: nutrition/exercise advice and anti-cellulite creams

At our salon in London we only use equipment that satisfies all the above criteria. Our pressotherapy boots comprise 10 compartments, cover the entire leg (even in very tall women), employ a patented pressure gradient mechanism, can complete a whole inflation-deflation cycle in less than 15 seconds, and can apply a pressure of up to 120mmHg for really deep lymphatic massage.

Although pressotherapy equipment might be the most important part of a pressotherapy treatment, nutrition and exercise advice is also important, as it helps you treat the causes of water retention and cellulite from the inside, helping prevent their reappearance. Quality anti-cellulite cream formulations can further enhance your pressotherapy treatment in a cost-efficient way.

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.
