FAQS
Is this treatment painful?
The pain level varies greatly from patient to patient. Areas are numbed with ice or numbing cream before treatment if required. Some patients may experience a sensation of heat, ache, stinging, itching and soreness of varying degrees that can be managed with general pain medications. On body areas where large volumes of medications are required to dissolve the fat, the procedure can cause some aches and soreness.
How long will results last?
The results of non surgical fat reduction are long-lasting and will be permanent until new weight gain has occurred.
When can I resume normal activities?
In most cases, you may return to work immediately. In some cases where larger areas of the face or stomach are treated, you may wish to rest or reduce activity for a day due to the excess swelling and soreness. Treatment areas to the face will swell – and is advised to take time off from work or social events for 1-2 weeks.
How will I look after treatment?
It is important to realize that the amount of time it takes for results varies greatly among individuals and often, more than one session is required for the body to process sufficient loss of fat. You will notice swelling, redness and bruising, which is to be expected.
Swelling usually begins to subside within a week following the procedure while any bruising that occurs can last two weeks or longer. There may also be numbness or a feeling of ‘nodules’ in some areas which are internal bruising. These may take several months to disappear. Patients should avoid tanning or saunas at least two weeks after each therapy.
When will I see results?
The healing process is gradual so you should expect a waiting period of anywhere from 4-8 weeks between each session. This may vary from patient to patient, depending on your body structure and metabolism.
What are the limitations?
Several sessions may be required. Patients with thyroid problems or metabolic disorders may require more sessions than normal or see insignificant results. Patients that have adiposity combined with excess binding tissue will have fewer chances to achieve any visible results. Patients that are overly obese may not benefit from this treatment. Full clinical assessment is required led by our Dr Adrian Rose and supported with our team of registered nurses.
