How many sessions will I need?

This depends on the goal of the treatment; for facial lines or dark circles, 3-6 sessions are normally suitable; cellulite treatment can take up to 20 sessions. Your non-surgical practitioner will be able to advise you on the number of treatments required.

When can I go back to normal day-to-day activities?

You can go back to normal activities the same day. Though we recommend you avoid excessive heat for about two weeks after (e.g. sunbathing, sunbeds, saunas) and do not submerge the area in water for 6 hours after treatment. There may be some bruising in the area so you may want to consider this if you are planning trips away or special days.
