Before & After Care, Results, & COntraindications

• Drink at least 2 liters of water (about a 1/2 gallon) before your treatment and another 2 liters per day following your treatment. This is NECESSARY for your Lymphatic System to effectively flush waste after treatment.

• Refrain from ANY alcohol consumption for 2 – 3 days following your treatments. Alcohol can prevent your liver from working to remove fats as it will make alcohol metabolism its priority before fat removal and could hinder your results.

• Refrain from caffeine for 3-4 days prior to your treatment and for 48 hours after treatment. If you absolutely cannot skip your coffee for 3-4 days prior, then refrain from it the day before and the day of your appointment, along with the 48 hours after.

• Avoid eating large meals 2 hours prior to and 1 hour after your treatment.

• Refrain from aspirin, ibuprofen, or other anti-inflammatory products for 2 days prior and after your treatment unless prescribed by your Dr. If you are taking a prescribed medication continue taking as prescribed by your Dr. Just realize it may slow your results.

• Localize the treatment area after treatment, such as using a dry brush, using body moisturizer every day, and massage recommended moisturizer freely in the treatment area. Dry brushing for a few minutes each day will stimulate lymph movement. This is not mandatory but can help improve results. (Available for purchase at the spa)

• If treating the stomach, wear a waist trainer during your treatment package to increase tissue pressure and promote drainage. (Available for fitting and purchase at the spa)

• Diet: Follow a low carb, low starch, low sugar diet for best results.

• At least 20 minutes of cardio after treatment to stimulate lymph movement. It is best to do this immediately after treatment and in the next three days. (Vibration exercise plate can be used in spa, directly after treatment if cardio isn't possible after you leave.)

• No treatments on tummy/abdomen area 1-2 days prior to or during your menstrual cycle, as this will cause heavy bleeding. 

 Treatments will often yield immediate results which can be long lasting. Some clients can experience between 1 to 5 cm of circumference reduction after a single session with increasing results after subsequent visits.  More significant results will be noticed after the second and third treatment. Normally, multiple sessions are required, generally 1-2 per week until you’ve had about 6-12 treatments in total, this will depend on the results you want. 

Following your at-home care instructions strictly is VERY important as failing to do so will impact your results. 

 Each client's body is different and will respond differently to treatments. Certain things such as hormonal imbalances, auto-immune conditions, and other potential underlying health conditions may interfere will results. 

As we have no real way of ensuring our clients strictly follow all at-home care instructions, or whether any underlying contraindications may be present, refunds cannot be provided in the event that results aren't quite what you expected.  If you are unsure if any of these issues may apply to you, a smaller package is recommended first, to determine how your body will respond to treatment before committing to a larger package. 

Ask about our 3 and 6 treatment "mini" packages.
