Lipofirm facts
Most of our treatments start with a course of Lipofirm treatment. This exciting new technology uses ultrasound and radiofrequency waves so it can target fat cells, get rid of cellulite or tighten skin to combat wrinkles and sagging. Our treatments are all delivered by fully qualified staff who are experts in using Lipofirm technology to target the areas you want.
Because Lipofirm does not involve surgery, it is a quicker and more cost-effective way to get the results you are looking for. There are no injections or anesthetic, you don’t need to take time out to recover, and you’ll leave each session able to see the difference the treatment has made.
Here are some of the most common questions we encounter – but if you want to know more, then please do not hesitate to get in touch. We’re happy to answer all your questions about Lipofirm and are committed to operating in an open and honest way so that you can make informed decisions about the best treatment for you.
Yes. Lipofirm technology is medically certified – that’s an even harder status to attain than ‘clinically-proven’. It means that the Lipofirm Plus machine has been put through rigorous tests using different people and body types to make sure that there are no harmful side effects.
No. During the treatments, you might hear a high-pitched sound or feel some warmth in the area being treated, but it is not uncomfortable. There may also be a slight reddening of the skin, but this will disappear quickly when the treatment is finished.
Should I consult a doctor before starting Lipofirm treatment?
We advise everyone who is considering losing weight or fat from their body to consult their doctor before they start. This applies to diets, exercise programmes, surgical intervention, and Lipofirm treatments.
Is it suitable for everyone?
Although the technology is safe and painless, it is not suitable for people with certain medical conditions. If you have had liver or kidney failure, heart disease or wear a pacemaker, Lipofirm will not be suitable for you. It is also not possible to treat pregnant or lactating women with the technology.
We carry out a full medical assessment before starting treatment, so if you are not a suitable candidate, we will find out before your programme starts.
What are the side effects?
There are usually no side effects at all, but a small number of people encounter mild issues such as redness of the skin, excessive thirst or nausea immediately after the treatment. These can all be countered by drinking water, and will disappear in a few hours.
What should I do before and after treatment?
We recommend that you drink plenty of water, which will help your body to break down the fat. After the treatment, we suggest a low calorie diet for a few days at least to make sure the energy released by your body is processed properly.
After a fat loss session, you should not drink alcohol for 24 hours, so that your liver and kidneys can concentrate on removing the toxins released as part of the treatment, instead of having to remove alcohol from your system at the same time.
