Helpie FAQ

Sound waves stimulate the microcirculation within the fat layer, increasing the metabolic function of the area and increasing cellular membrane permeability. Free fatty acids and glycerol are released from the far cells and sit in the intercellular space. Lymphatic movement and increased blood supply removes these wast products from the body.

Sound waves stimulate blood and lymphatic circulation within the area. They also stimulate the connective tissue and septa mobility giving the skin a firmer tone and reducing the dimples within the skin.

A course of 8 3D-CAVITATION treatments is recommended, however results can be seen after one treatment with an average inch loss of 2-4cm per treatment. Further courses may be required to reach your desired result.

3D-CAVITATION can and is very often combined with other 3D-LIPO treatments.

3D-CAVITATION treatment is generally pain free however heat may occur depending on the size of the area being treated. During the treatment a handheld device delivers a low frequency ultra sound wave which can be heard as a slight buzzing.

During 3D-CAVITATION the membranes of the fat cells are disrupted. The fat cell content, primarily comprised of triglycerides, is dispersed into the fluid between the cells and then transported through the vascular and lymphatic  systems to the liver. The liver makes no distinction between fat coming from the 3D-CAVITATION treatment and fat originating from consumed food. Both are processed by the body's natural mechanisms.

Choosing which 3D-LIPO treatment is best will depend on what your concerns are. There are five different treatment settings, however don't worry about which treatment is best for you as a qualified therapist will discuss all aspects of the treatment at your consultation.

• CAVITATION: The main tool for overall circumference reduction.
• CRYOLIPOLYSIS: Is ideal for targeting specific problem areas for fat removal.
• RADIO FREQUENCY: Fat melting for body, also skin tightening for body and face.
• SHOCKWAVE THERAPY: Targets cellulite and aid lymphatic drainage.
• 3D -HI-FU: destroys fat cells and tightens skin in the treated area.

3D-LIPO is a non-surgical fat reduction and inch loss treatment that aims to alter body shape using fat removal, skin tightening and cellulite reduction. It allows you to target specific areas and problems on the body and face.

3D-LIPO is a process of treatments which is tailored to the individual depending on their needs. A 3D-LIPO treatment may consist of up to four different types of treatments to achieve the desired result

The amount of 3D-LIPO treatments will vary depending on your desired results. Usually this will involve 4-8 treatments.

3D-Lipo can treat most areas of the body and face.

There is no downtime after a 3D-LIPO treatment however slight bruising or swelling may occur.

3D- LIPO Is most definitely also recommended for males.

After a 3D-LIPO session fat cells are transported through the vascular and lymphatic system to the liver and processed by the body's natural mechanisms.

This varies depending on the individual and their expectations.

This treatment can last up to 3 years and more, however how you treat your skin, lifestyle factors and your genetic ageing process will have an effect.

There is a minimal amount of discomfort which varies from each individual however a topical numbing cream is applied.

Plasma pen is an exceptionally safe procedure, however side effects are minor changes in skin pigmentation, post inflammatory scarring, scabs, inflammation and swelling which all subside with the healing process but may remain longer in some individuals.

Unlike botox which lasts several months, plasma pen treatments can last up to 3 years, is more precise and will not cause droopiness or loss of facial expressions.

No scarring will occur after a plasma pen treatment however post inflammatory pigmentation can be mistaken as scarring.

We recommend you avoid make-up during the healing process to minimise disruption of the tiny scabs.
