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...

What happens to the fat, excess water, toxins and waste products that are removed from cellulite and other tissues?

What is the ultimate fate of toxins, fat and waste products that are removed from cellulite and other tissues by different treatments?

Different cellulite and water retention treatments help remove toxins, excess water, fat and waste products from the superficial tissues of the legs, arms and stomach (including the so called cellulite tissues).

Since a lot of press articles and promotional material misinform the public as to what happens to the fat, water and toxins that are removed from the tissues by cellulite/lymph drainage treatments, we thought it would be a good idea to clarify the matter and provide accurate information.

First of all, it is important to note that not all treatments are efficient in removing fat, water and toxins from the tissues, especially in relation to the money and time you spend per treatment. But for the sake of argument let's assume that you were lucky/smart enough to chose a time and cost-effective treatment that does indeed help your body remove fat, water and waste products from the tissues.

 

Stage 1 : From the tissues to the heart

As soon as fat is released from the adipocytes (fat cells) it enters the so called intercellular space where it accumulates waiting to enter a vein or lymph capillary. If your circulation/lymph drainage is poor then fat quite often renters the fat cell and nothing happens: you're still stuck with excess fat in your fat cell. If your circulation is good, or if it is effectively stimulated by your amazing anti-cellulite/water retention treatment, then the fat molecules enter the vein or lymph capillaries.

The intercellular spaces also contain waste products, toxins and quite often excess water. Again, if your natural lymphatic drainage/blood circulation is efficient or effectively stimulated by your treatment, these substances also enter the lymph/vein capillaries.

If intercellular fluid enters the lymphatic capillaries it is called lymph. Lymph in the lymphatic capillaries is moved to the larger lymph vessels of the leg towards the inguinal lymph glands in the groin. From there it ultimately enters the "thoracic duct", a large lymphatic trunk underneath your abdominal organs. From there, lymph drains into a vein on the base of your neck (at a junction called terminus) and enters the heart. Similarly, lymph from the arm tissues reach the axillary lymph glands in your armpit, enter a vein on the base of the neck and also reach the heart.

If the fluid enters a vein capillary it mixes with - and becomes part of the vein blood. In the same way lymph is transported towards the heart, waste products from the veins of the legs, enter larger veins and eventually enter the heart.

 

Stage 2: From the heart to the kidneys, liver, muscles and (god forbid...) back to fat cells

From the heart, waste products and toxins eventually end up in the kidneys/liver where they are expelled by the body in the form of urine/faeces, respectively. Naturally, water is expelled by the kidneys as urine, by the lungs as part of the breath, and by the skin as sweat. This process is more efficient if the liver detoxification system and your kidneys function well. In addition, if you exercise/eat healthily lymphatic drainage is also more efficient, and adds to the efficiency of the treatment, thereby increasing the efficiency of your treatment.

However, contrary to tabloid wisdom, glossy promotional brochures and internet misinformation, fat is not expelled by the body through the kidneys or the liver. It would be pathological is such a thing happened. In fact, fat finds it's way into either the muscles or the fat cells. If you happen to spend more calories than you ingest, more fat will reach your muscles where it will be oxidised ("burned") for energy. Conversely, if you consume more calories than your body needs, fat will end up back to the fat cells (including the cellulite fat cells).

Yes, that's right. A cellulite treatment is not enough to effectively remove cellulite fat - you also need to exercise and restrict your calories in order to lose cellulite! Fat cannot be burned onsite by a cellulite machine or cream, neither it is removed by the faeces or urine. Also, fat is definitely impossible to sweat out through the skin with the aid of a body wrap or by going into a sauna (including the far infrared saunas). And if any promotional brochure, press article or website states so, the author is simply lying or is grossly misinformed...

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.
