Post-Treatment Instructions

Hydrate Your Body

After your treatment, water is a necessity in order to facilitate lymphatic drainage. Be sure to drink at least one gallon for the next three days following your treatment to assist with the elimination of toxins. Avoid alcohol or caffeine at least 24 - 48 hours after treatment.

Exercise

Within two hours after each treatment, perform 30-45 minutes of cardio-vascular work-out in order to create the energy demand that will facilitate the metabolism of the fatty acids and glycerol freed from the fat cells. Message the treated area daily.

Maintain a Balanced Diet

Avoid eating two hours before and after treatment sessions. Avoid heavy meals on treatment days. Limit carbonated drinks, coffee, and tea during the treatment period and avoid alcohol intake for at least 24 - 48 hours. Avoid fasting or the body will go into “starvation mode” and become more resistant to the release of stored fat.

Possible Side Effects

Diarrhea: When fat is successfully broken down, it must exit the body as stool, urine or sweat. You may or may not notice an increase in bowel movements. Typically, diarrhea is mild and lasts no longer than 36 hours.

Increased Urination: Loss of water from your tissues is normal following procedure and is a good sign that you are removing fat from your body. Fat enters the blood from the lymphatic system, increasing the “thickness” of the blood (oncotic pressure), and pulling water from tissues to carry the fat to the bowel for removal.

Flu-like Symptoms: This is rare but can occur due to toxins in the fat being removed via the lymphatic system, causing congestion. Congested Lymph pathways can lead to aches, pains, water retention, soreness, and flu-like symptoms. To combat this, lymph node stimulators and a whole-body vibration plate session are used during the treatment to increase lymphatic drainage.

Increased Hunger: This is the body’s attempt at returning to normal by re-accumulating fat. Do not increase food consumption! Follow a low-carb, high-protein, high-fiber diet to combat hunger pangs.
