How does it Work?
Lipo is a painless ultrasound treatment to remove fat cells and reshape the
curves of your body. It is a completely non-invasive and non-surgical approach
to style your figure and trim your waist, hips, thighs and flanks.
Each course of treatment consists of 6 to 18 sessions which can be
taken up to twice a week. So the course can
be completed in 3 to18 weeks this would depend on how many times a week
you visit. t

Lipo uses gentle focused ultrasound waves to remove fat cells permanently.
Once removed, these cells will not re grow. Ultrasound waves painlessly
disrupt the walls of cells containing fat found below the skin within the
sub-cutaneous fat layer, while other tissues such as blood vessels and nerves
are unharmed.
As fat cells are not able to multiply, once remove they will not return
helping to maintain a long-term fat reduction. (In other words, if you take
"love handles" away once, you can forget them forever. the
fat cells will not return or re grow, so that is a permanent effect. However,
the length of time that the body shaping will last for is completely in your
hands. How much you eat and how much exercise you take will also affect your
long-term body shape. So if you take in more calories than you use, you
weight and fat will increase and the permanent removal of fat cells from your
treatment will be hidden by your weight gain.
The good news though is that you can use the opportunity of choosing to have Lipo
to commit to eating sensibly and performing activities, such as exercise and
sports, that get your heart beating and muscles working. This can have the
effect of enhancing your body reshaping even further. Please remember that
having Lipo is not a license to eat more or exercise less, and the
long-term results are in your hands.

after completing the six sessions. Maximum results require at least 6
to 18 treatment sessions per area.
Will the effect be long-lasting?
The fat cells treated with Lipo will not return or re-grow, so that is a
permanent effect. However, the length of time that the body shaping will last
for is really in your hands.
How much you eat and how much exercise you take will also affect your long-term
body shape. So if you take in more calories than you use, you weight and fat
will increase and the permanent removal of fat cells from your treatment will
be hidden by your weight gain.

This is the most common
question we get asked. The simple answer is that all the fat that is released
heads via the bloodstream towards your liver where it gets processed.
Lipo works to reshape your figure. Ultrasound waves, through a process called
‘cavitation‘, will break open fat cells and release the fat stored within.
These cells do not re grow and are permanently removed. The released fat passes
though your veins and lymphatic vessels to end up in your liver, which has the
job of processing it.
The effect is as if you had just eaten a very fatty meal, except that in this
case all that fat came from yourself - your stomach, hips, thighs, or whichever
part of your body you had chosen to be sculpted into a new shape. Some of the
fat will be used for energy instead of a meal and burned off as calories. Some
other fat will be stored in the normal way and laid down again but this time
evenly throughout your body and not back at the treated target areas.
In this way, Lipo (in the same way as liposuction) is not designed to drop your
weight, but restyle your figure into a more desirable shape.
