Ultrasound & Laser Lipolysis Pre-care Instructions

• Avoid Aspirin/ibuprofen or any vitamins that my thin the blood 24 hours before treatment.

• Avoid eating 2 hours prior and 1 hour after treatment to help your body use all energy to drain the fat through your lymphatic system.

• Try to eat within 1 - 4 hrs. after treatment or your body will go into starvation mode and can reject treatment.

• Drink plenty of water to facilitate the lymphatic system (2-3 bottles before & after treatment. Growing water intake to half your body weight in ounces for the purpose of detoxing

• Refrain from all breads, rice, pastas, sodas, cookies, candies and any other unhealthy foods during the duration of receiving treatments. Limited whole grains and oats are an exception. Try sticking to a whole food diet during the time of treatments.

Ultrasound Cavitation & Laser Lipo Post-Care Instructions:

• Drink at least 1 liter of water immediately following the appointment and throughout the week. This flushes out the toxins. Do a minimum of 20 minutes of elevated heart rate cardio exercise. This is best to be done immediately after the treatment, and for three days following. This is to ensure the stored energy released by the cavitation process is burnt off. If  cardio is not your style, infrared sauna sessions may assist, or adding the vibration plate for 10 minutes after each session, as it has a similar effect on the body.

• Overall maintaining a low calorie, low carbohydrate, low fat, and low sugar diet for 24 hours pre-treatment and three days post-treatment will help achieve the best results. This is to ensure your body utilizes triglycerides (a type of body fat) released by the cavitation process. We also encourage clients to stick to this diet as much as they can. Many find this to be a great starting point for maintaining a healthier lifestyle in the future.

• For best results, you should refrain from drinking any alcohol 24 hours before and 48 hours after treatment. Alcohol consumption during this period may prevent your liver from removing the deactivated fat cells from your body. ( Your liver will prioritize removing the alcohol first) This will lead to the fat cells remaining in your body and not so good results.

• Additional steps can be taken to achieve optimum results such as topically stimulating the treatment area following your session or using a body brush in the shower to promote movement around the area. Using moisturizer daily, and liberally massaging moisturizer on the treatment area is also beneficial. Do this daily to prevent fat and toxins from becoming stagnant and difficult to eliminate.

FAQ:

How often should I get Radio Frequency treatment?

Treatments should have at least one week in between sessions. Depending on your goals and quality of skin, we recommend a series of 3 to 12 sessions. Although you may see immediate results with treatments, radio frequency treatment continues to promote collagen production over the next 4-6 weeks. You will continue to see improvements up to two years after your last session.
