Fat Melting Treatment in Milford CT

Using advanced technology, fat-melting treatments are noninvasive procedures designed to target and reduce stubborn fat pockets. A common component of these treatments involves ultrasound or radiofrequency waves, which break down fat cells. Fat-melting treatments are effective for areas like the abdomen, thighs, arms, and flanks, offering a slimmer and more contoured appearance without surgery.

As the body metabolizes and eliminates the treated fat cells, results of fat melting treatments become apparent gradually. If accompanied by a healthy lifestyle, the results are long-lasting, though follow-up treatments may be recommended for optimal results.

Having a good pre-and post-treatment care plan will maximize your results and minimize possible side effects. If you experience any unexpected symptoms or have concerns, please contact our clinic for further assistance.

Pre-Treatment Care

• Avoid sun exposure: Refrain from tanning or excessive sun exposure for at least two weeks before your appointment to prevent skin sensitivity.
• Hydrate well: Drink lots of water before treatment to support your body’s natural processes.
• Pause certain medications: Avoid blood thinners, aspirin, and anti-inflammatory drugs for at least one week before treatment.
• No alcohol: Drinking alcohol 24 hours before your appointment will minimize your risk of bruising.
• Clean treatment area: Ensure the area is free of lotions, creams, or oils before your appointment.

Post-Treatment Care

After your fat-melting treatment, follow these guidelines to enhance your results and reduce any discomfort:

• Use cold compresses: Apply cold compresses to the treated areas for 10-15 minutes every few hours to reduce swelling or discomfort.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help your body eliminate disrupted fat cells.
• Avoid vigorous activity: Refrain from strenuous physical activities, such as intense exercise, for at least 48 hours post-treatment.
• No alcohol or tobacco: Avoid alcohol and smoking for 48 hours following the procedure, as these can interfere with your body’s healing process.
• Moisturize gently: Moisturize treated skin gently to reduce irritation and hydrate the skin.
• Limit sun exposure: Avoid direct sunlight for at least two weeks post-treatment, and always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen on treated areas to protect your skin.
• Avoid heat: Avoid saunas, hot tubs, or any other heat sources for at least a week, as these can increase swelling.
• Massage the area (if recommended): In some cases, gentle massage of the treated area is encouraged to enhance the fat breakdown. Follow your provider’s instructions regarding massage techniques.
