Fat Dissolving - Aftercare
-
We recommend wearing pressure garments of some description to improve your comfort, tight jeans won’t be the best straight after your treatment. This could be a pair of Spanx, or we may suggest using an old pair of tights tied around your chin overnight to help reduce swelling for tx following chin area.
-
Drink plenty of water after your treatment.
-
Follow a low-fat diet for the period between your treatment and your follow-up appointment. This is because you do not want to cause additional stress to your liver by having to cope with processing two sources of fat.
-
We would suggest avoiding exercise on the day of treatment. After this you can resume gentle exercise as and when you feel ready. You may not feel ready for strenuous exercise for the first week, as you may feel a little tender.
-
Avoid taking any anti-inflammatory medication as this will dampen your body’s response to the treatment and potentially mean you do not respond to treatment as well as you would otherwise have done.
-
Avoid exposure to extremes of temperature (including saunas, steam rooms and sunbathing) for a week after treatment.
-
Keep pinching the treated area to continue stimulating it. This will improve the body’s response to the treatment .
The treated area will look swollen initially, but you should expect this swelling to double in size within the first 24-48 hours. The swelling will go down over the course of the next week, although in rare cases may persist longer. Remember – SWELLING IS GOOD! The more you swell the more you are responding to treatment.
The treated area will look red and feel warm afterwards, and this may persist for 2 days.
You may develop some bruising in the treated area, may feel itchy, and may have some minor aches and pains. Take paracetamol not ibuprofen or any other anti inflammatory.
Rarely you can develop systemic symptoms such as nausea, diarrhoea, intracycle menstrual bleeding (in women) and hyperpigmentation.
Note: you will not see any difference on the scales after treatment. Subcutaneous fat accounts for a small proportion of our overall body fat, and dissolving this in one area will not produce a change in your weight. You will start to notice an improvement anywhere between 3 and 6 weeks.
The fat cells that have been destroyed & are permanently eliminated from the body. If you gain weight in the future you may put it on in a different distribution to where you would have done prior to treatment.
