Before & Aftercare Guidelines

To ensure the highest standards of safety and to maximize your results, it’s crucial to follow certain guidelines both before and after your treatment. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

Water Intake

• Before and After Treatment: Drink plenty of water (at least 2 liters). Note that sodas, juice, coffee, or tea do not count as water. Hydration is essential for helping your body eliminate broken-down fat, processed naturally through the liver and lymphatic system. Proper hydration supports overall health, as our bodies are made up of around 60% water.

Alcohol

• Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from drinking alcohol 24 hours before and 48 hours after your treatment. Alcohol can hinder your liver’s ability to process and remove fats, prioritizing alcohol metabolism instead, which could affect your results.

Exercise

• Post-Treatment: Engage in light exercise, such as a brisk 20-minute walk, to elevate your heart rate and stimulate lymphatic movement.

Food

• Pre and Post-Treatment: Avoid heavy meals two hours before and one hour after your session. Additionally, steer clear of caffeine and fatty foods on the day of your treatment and afterward.

Other Treatments & Sun Exposure

• Avoid: Refrain from laser hair removal, other laser treatments, non-surgical body contouring treatments, and excessive sun exposure on the targeted area for two weeks prior to your session. Avoid waxing the treated areas for 3-5 days post-treatment.

Heat

• Post-Treatment: Avoid hot showers (warm is fine), spas, or saunas for 24 hours after your session.

Skin Irritation

• Treatment Conditions: We cannot treat areas with red, irritated, or broken skin until they are completely healed.

Medication

• Notify Us: Inform us of any blood-thinning or photosensitive medications you are taking.

Diet & Lifestyle

• Healthy Habits: Our body contouring treatments should be complemented by a healthy diet and lifestyle. You can resume work or normal activities immediately after treatment.

Lifestyle Impact on Fat Reduction

• Our treatments target stubborn subcutaneous fat, not visceral fat, which surrounds your organs and is influenced by diet, lifestyle, sleep, and stress. Maintaining healthy habits is crucial:
• Diet: Eat a balanced diet.
• Activity: Stay active and drink plenty of water.
• Well-being: Ensure adequate sleep and manage stress levels.

If your lifestyle deteriorates, visceral fat cells will expand, leading to weight gain across the body and potentially masking the results of your treatments. Our treatments effectively shrink or eliminate subcutaneous fat cells, but an unhealthy lifestyle can undermine these results.
