This is a very general question. How many LipoTherapeia treatments you need depends on how much cellulite / water retention / skin loosening you have, and how long you had it for.

Generally speaking, old established cellulite will require more sessions whilst cellulite that just appeared the last few months can be reduced or eliminated quickly. This is because as cellulite progresses it creates semi-permanent changes on the tissues which may be very difficult to remove. Obviously, quantity is also important: a lot of cellulite found in large body areas will require more time to be removed than very little and localized cellulite. An accurate answer to your question can be given on your first session, which includes assessment, treatment and advice.

As a general rule, you will start experiencing some results immediately during and after the treatment (the same day and the day after), which of course are temporary. However, these results become long-lasting and cumulative if a series of regular treatments is received (typically once a week). By the 4th session you start experiencing the first long-term results. Some clients are happy with as few as six sessions, whilst most need anything between 6-12 sessions. Severe cases may require 24 sessions.

For water retention

If you have LipoTherapeia treatments for water retention and poor circulation, you will experience an immediate result during and immediately after the treatment, and you may still feel a benefit one week after the treatment. Again, with repeated treatments the results become more long-lasting. Most women need anything between 6-12 sessions of optimum results, in combination with the changes in diet that we prescribe. These dietary changes aim to reduce fluid retention from within, in addition to the treatment that works by strengthening the tissues from outside.

Women who suffer from certain types of chronic fluid retention due to medical reasons, may require continuous treatments to maintain proper circulation and lymph drainage and prevent tissue deterioration.

After cosmetic surgery

If post-cosmetic surgery recovery is the reason for having LipoTherapeia treatments, 3-6 sessions are enough to control the initial post-surgery pain, bruising, swelling and inflammation. Some women opt for a course of 12 sessions in order to minimize scar tissue formation and maximize the results of their cosmetic surgery (liposuction, facial surgery, breast surgery, tummy tuck etc.).

For skin firming

If skin firming is the reason for having treatments, you will be pleased to know that an immediate, very long lasting skin firming effect is experienced just 2-3 days after the treatment and as few as 4 sessions can make a visible difference. With LipoTherapeia skin firming is absolutely guaranteed after every single treatment, week after week, so the more treatments you have the better! Again most women are happy after a course of 6 or 12 sessions.

In summary

In all cases, as we mentioned above, you do experience an immediate improvement in skin tone, circulation, lymph drainage, swelling and the overall appearance of cellulite, so even one session is beneficial, especially before an important night out or important day after. However, for long-lasting results a minimum of 4 sessions is indispensable, and for optimum results a course of 6-12 sessions is recommended.
