Introduction:
i-Lipo is a non-invasive body contouring treatment that uses laser energy to target and break down fat cells without the need for surgery. To maximise results and ensure safety, it's crucial to follow these post-treatment guidelines.
Immediate Aftercare (First 48 Hours):
- Hydration: Drink at least 1.5-2 litres of water daily. This will assist in flushing out the released fat from the body through the lymphatic system.
- Exercise: Engage in at least 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise (e.g., brisk walking, cycling, or running) after each session. This helps to stimulate lymphatic activity and assists in the processing of the released fat.
- Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Both can dehydrate the body and hinder the process of flushing out broken down fat cells. Abstain from them for at least 48 hours post-treatment.
- Dietary Guidelines: Maintain a balanced diet with a moderate caloric intake. Avoid excessive fat and carbohydrate intake as the goal is to utilise and burn the fat released from the treatment.
Continued Care & Monitoring:
- Regular Exercise: Physical activity will ensure the released fat is metabolised and used as energy. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity every week.
- Lifestyle Choices: Smoking can decrease circulation, so it's advised to cut down or quit. Similarly, maintain a healthy diet to support and maintain the results of i-Lipo.
- Follow-Up Sessions: To achieve the best results, adhere to the recommended number of i-Lipo sessions as advised by your practitioner. Regularly attend these sessions and any subsequent review appointments.
- Skincare: For those who experience minor skin reactions post-treatment, such as redness, apply a soothing moisturiser or aloe vera gel. The skin in the treated area should be kept clean and regularly moisturised.
