LIPOcel Pre & Post Treatment Care

Preparing for your appointment helps ensure your skin and body are in a suitable condition for treatment. By taking these precautions, you can also help minimise the likelihood of skin sensitivity, irritation or the need to reschedule your session due to skin conditions, such as sun exposure or inflammation.

Below are the things you must do to prepare your skin and ensure a smooth and stress-free process:

• Avoid consuming heavy meals or fatty foods for at least 1 hour before treatment.
• Avoid caffeine for 2 hours prior to your appointment.
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment.
• Avoid any laser treatments on the treatment area for 2 weeks prior.
• Avoid excessive sun exposure for 48 hours before treatment (we are unable to treat sunburnt skin).
• If the skin is broken, irritated or red, treatment will need to be postponed until it has fully healed.
• Please inform your therapist if you are taking any blood-thinning or skin-thinning medications.
• If you have any metal implants in the treatment area, LIPOcel cannot be performed, as metal can attract HIFU energy and cause the area to become hot and uncomfortable.
• Treatments should be supported by a healthy diet and lifestyle, including drinking at least 2 litres of water per day.
• Keep the target area clean shaven prior to your appointment.
• Remove any moisturisers, oils or creams from the treatment area before your session or inform your therapist if any products have been applied.

Following your LIPOcel aftercare plan helps support the healing process and contributes to a more comfortable recovery.

Here’s what to do after LIPOcel:

• Drink lots of water.
• Avoid heavy meals and fatty foods for at least 1 hour after treatment.
• Avoid alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment.
• Avoid caffeine for 2 hours after treatment.
• Refrain from waxing the treated area for 3–5 days.
• Don’t undergo laser treatments on the area for 2 weeks.
• Don’t engage in strenuous exercise for 24 hours after treatment.
• Avoid massage, steam rooms and hot baths for 24 hours post-treatment.
• Avoid sunburn during the healing process for 2 weeks after treatment.
• A follow-up appointment is recommended at 12 weeks to review your progress.

LIPOcel is a non-invasive treatment with minimal to no downtime, meaning most clients can resume their usual daily activities shortly after their session. This makes it a convenient option for clients looking to fit treatment into a hectic schedule.

It is normal to experience side effects, such as mild redness, flushing or a tingling sensation. These effects are generally short-lived and typically settle within a few days as the area recovers.

LIPOcel can be incorporated into a broader treatment plan, depending on your goals and the areas being treated. Certain treatments, including cellulite reduction, radiofrequency (RF) fat melting, RF skin tightening and StimSure, may be performed 7 days after your LIPOcel session.

For treatments such as fat freezing and HIFU skin tightening, a longer interval is required. These can only be carried out on the same treatment area after a minimum of 4 weeks post-LIPOcel. If you’re interested in combining treatments, your therapist can guide you on the best timing between sessions.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle and monitor visceral fat

LIPOcel targets subcutaneous fat, which is the fat located beneath the skin. It does not treat visceral fat, which surrounds internal organs and is influenced by factors such as diet, exercise, sleep and stress.

To support your results, prioritise regular physical activity, proper hydration, quality sleep and a balanced diet. Changes in lifestyle habits can lead to an increase in visceral fat, which may affect overall body composition and impact the appearance of your results.

To help track your progress, InBody full body composition scans are conducted before each treatment. We also recommend regular scans between sessions to monitor changes and keep you on track.

Stay hydrated

After LIPOcel, the body naturally processes and eliminates treated fat cells through the liver and lymphatic system. Staying well hydrated supports these natural processes. After your InBody assessment, your therapist will recommend a minimum daily water intake based on your age, weight and height.

Follow your treatment plan

Attending follow-up appointments helps maintain consistency and supports your overall treatment progress. Skipping or delaying sessions may affect how your results develop over time.

Prioritise at-home product care

Your therapist will guide you through suitable at-home care options. This may include evidence-based supplements designed to support stress management, immune function and gut health.
