On your first session

After just a few minutes of treatment you will notice that your thighs and hips feel hot, light and tingling with vitality. You will also immediately feel the cellulite globules being worked “deeply” and comprehensively, which makes clients comment that “this treatment is really doing something”. You will leave the clinic with a rejuvenating, tingling feeling on your legs (courtesy of the increased circulation, lymph drainage and connective tissue stimulation), that will persist for hours and that will benefit you for days.

After a series of treatments...

...and in combination with the Lipo Diet and exercise plan, most women lose an average of one pound of fat, not muscle, per week, at an increased rate from the very resistant to slimming hip / thigh or stomach / waist area (treated area). In comparison, most crash diets make you lose mainly protein, i.e. skin, bone and muscle, and some fat off the areas you don’t want it to go, i.e. usually the face or chest.

A long-term decrease in girth of up to two inches, depending on the person, is not uncommon. A decrease of one to two dress sizes, from all the right places, is also common. After a series of treatments you will enjoy smoother, softer, firmer and slimmer legs and your trousers will feel looser and more comfortable.

When will I see results?

This treatment is designed to give you long-term results by rebuilding and exercising your tissues, in exactly the same way weights exercise your muscles. Therefore it takes some time for you to see results and you should expect to derive the maximum benefit after a course of treatments. Your body can not be changed overnight!

However, some women see an immediate result in one session, but this is not the norm, and it is only short-term. In about four to six sessions you will start seeing the first long-term results which motivate you to continue. Some women are happy with these results already. However, most women need about 16 sessions to achieve the optimum results that they are happy with, and this is the course of treatments we recommend. In severe cases, two courses may be needed for satisfactory results.

If you would like really fast results, you may have up to a maximum of 3x two-hour sessions per week, but we recommend that during such an such intensive course of treatments you follow a strict diet and exercise regime for maximum benefits in local fat reduction.

It takes two to tango

LipoTherapeia is arguably the best treatment can have today for cellulite reduction, firmness and overall skin health improvement. It offers you everything that you need, from effective local treatment to cutting-edge nutrition advice, to help you achieve a better-looking, healthier body, naturally. Although it is not a miracle treatment, you can feel it working and if you do make a contribution with diet and exercise the results do speak for themselves.

Are results permanent?

If you don't repeat the mistakes of the past that led to the formation of cellulite, i.e. if you follow a healthy, active lifestyle, the results you achieved are here to stay.

However, if you adopt an unhealthy, fattening, sedentary lifestyle, the local fat loss and fluid retention reduction you achieved will obviously last less time, since they are both directly affected by diet, alcohol and inactivity.

The good news is that the skin firming results are long-lasting and relatively independent of your lifestyle, as are the improvements in blood vessel strength, circulation, scar tissue breakdown and inflammation.

What about maintenance treatments?

After you achieve your goals, maintenance treatments are recommended but are not necessary, and if you have a healthy lifestyle the results last for several months or years. If however, you adopt an unhealthy, calorie and alcohol-rich sedentary lifestyle, obviously the results will last less.

Most women choose to have a maintenance session every two weeks or every month while others choose to have a refresher course of ten or fifteen sessions every spring or before an important occasion. Monthly or fortnightly sessions are ideal for prevention too and are used by women who have to maintain a perfect body because of their profession (i.e. actors, models and dancers).

Can I interrupt my course?

Since the results you achieve with LipoTherapeia are conditionally permanent, yes, you can interrupt your treatment for a holiday or other occasion and start again from where you left it, provided you had at least 3-4 sessions first. Actually, applying the Lipo Actives anti-cellulite creams twice a day can help you keep improving whilst you are away, provided you don’t take in more calories than you spend.
