What it is
These are not weight-loss treatments: their aim is to remove fat from the areas where it tends to build up and to sculpt the figure. They use injections or devices applied directly to the affected area, so they work without surgery. Over time, this fat can become harder and harder to shift.
Treatments
- Alma PrimeX
- Cryolipolysis: removes localised fat with non-surgical body sculpting.
- Body mesotherapy: reduces fat by injecting different products into the treatment area. Although it is not a weight-loss treatment, it does help reduce weight by removing excess fat.
- LPG: a technique for tackling cellulite.
Who it is for
Anyone with fat deposits in specific areas that do not improve with diet and exercise who wants to reduce volume without an operation.
It is common on the abdomen, especially in women, where fat is often very hard to shift. Body mesotherapy helps dissolve it and sculpt and tone the area.
The session
The doctor assesses your case and recommends the treatment and number of sessions. A course of several sessions is usually advised, because each session acts on a limited amount of fat and the results build up over time. The exact number depends on the treatment, your goals and your characteristics.
Side effects
Side effects can occur, but they are usually mild and temporary: redness, swelling, tenderness or slight discomfort in the treated area. We will give you aftercare advice to keep them to a minimum.
Results
In many cases the first results can be seen within 4 to 6 weeks, and full results usually appear after several sessions. The results are visible and lasting.
To keep them in the long term you need a healthy lifestyle: a varied, balanced diet that is rich in nutrients and low in saturated fat, together with regular exercise.
