Other providers often reduce the treatment time when offering lower prices, so your results will be significantly diminished, if you achieve any results at all! You should be extremely cautious of this “compromise”, as it is often a false economy with your results being the true cost! Sussex Laser Lipo ALWAYS provides the full length treatment, to ensure optimal results.

Most people do not find the treatment painful at all. Some clients may feel a little uncomfortable for the first few minutes of the cooling period of the treatment due to the rapid cooling of the treatment area, but this will subside quickly and the warming periods before and after significantly reduce this.

Most patients find the Stretch Mark Reduction treatments extremely comfortable and liken them to a warm deep tissue massage. The treatments are customised to accommodate your sensitivity and comfort level, which will be closely monitored by the technician throughout the treatment. It is normal to experience a warm sensation for a few hours post treatment. Your skin may also appear redder than usual for several hours, but this subside very quickly.

Absolutely! Laser Lipo is an inch-loss phenomenon sweeping the globe! The Laser Lipo inch loss treatment has been featured in many publications such as telegraph.co.uk, Hello, Red and Elle magazines. Indeed, the PureGenesis machine from PureGenex that we use was featured in Bella magazine and is taking the nation by storm!

After completing your course, it is recommended to periodically have maintenance treatments. Like any non-surgical or surgical aesthetic techniques, the results will last longer if you follow a balanced diet and exercise regularly, as this provides a stronger platform to maintain your new, healthier complexion.

All off-the-shelf creams or salon-based treatments either bleach the skin, causing irreparable damage to the connective tissues and simply masking the appearance, or use a variety of chemicals and compounds to modify the skin's bio-chemistry. Only Sussex Laser Lipo's unique Stretch Mark Reduction Treatment leverages the most advanced technology available to safely stimulate the totally natural re-construction of the connective tissues within the skin. All this is achieved without introducing and chemicals, needles or foreign bodies and only through the stimulation of completely natural bodily processes!

Sessions typically last around 35 minutes and is recommended to be repeated weekly. However, twice weekly treatment can be carried out if you wish to accelerate the process.

You will achieve immediate inch loss in the majority of cases, with up to 40% reduction in the fat layer of the treated within 8-12 weeks after treatment.  4D-Cryo treatments are best when delivered as a course of 2 successive treatments, with the second treatment following 14-21 days after the first, for optimal results.

Each individual treatment covers a far larger area than traditional "Fat Freezing", such as the whole front of the abdomen, or both flanks, both arms, both inner thighs, etc. providing far better value for money.If you want to achieve further improvements, additional treatments can be administered to the original treatment area after 12 weeks.

The number of placements required depends upon the area(s) you want to treat and your goals. If you have further questions, please contact us to book in for a free consultation. We can then discuss your personal goals and assess the number of placements required.

Gradual improvement of the treated area can be seen following the first treatment - with the skin surface of the treated area feeling smoother, more supple and tightened. With a course of treatments, these results will be cumulative. Once the course is completed, final results in circumference reduction, skin rejuvenation and tightening will be most apparent after 6-8 weeks.

Gradual improvement of the treated area can be seen following the first treatment - with the skin surface of the treated area feeling smoother and the redness within the stretch marks noticeably reducing after the first 2-3 treatments. With a course of treatments, these results will be cumulative. Once the course is completed, final results will be most apparent after 6-8 weeks.

Absolutely! Radio Frequency treatments such as the Body Sculpting and Skin Tightening Treatment, or non-srigcal facelift, are extremely effective at rejuvenating loose skin after significant weight loss. In severe cases, more than one course may be required to achieve the desired results, but this is something we can discuss with you during the free consultation.

However, Sussex Laser Lipo utilise the new 4D-Sculpt platform from the pioneers at PureGenex. The 4D-Sculpt implements dual modulation Ultrasonic Cavitation, combined with Multi-Polar Radio Frequency in the same treatment head, to deliver dual benefits - 2 x 2 = 4D Cavi Inch Loss!

In short, the answer is a resounding YES!

The Cryogenic Lipolysis process selectively cools the cells of the adipose layer. A process known as “Popsicle Panniculitis”. This is a dermatologic condition where exposure to low temperatures can selectively damage subcutaneous fat while leaving skin intact. This process is also known as "Apoptosis". Based on the premise that fat cells are more easily damaged by cooling than skin cells, cryogenic lipolysis was developed applying low temperatures to tissue via thermal conduction. In order to avoid frostbite, a specific temperature level and exposure is determined and transmission is ensured through the use of an anti-freeze membrane, further protecting the surface tissues.

Physicians at The Wellman Center at Massachusetts General Hospital, part of the Harvard Medical School, originated and conducted clinical trials to prove the efficacy of the process. Fatty tissue that is cooled below body temperature but above freezing undergoes localized cell death followed by a local inflammatory response, a local panniculitis, which gradually, over the course of several months, results in a reduction of the fatty tissue layer.

Through the adoption of our unique treatment protocols, clients can achieve an astonishing 26-40% reduction in the fat layer within 8-12 weeks following treatment.

Our competitors can only wish their treatments were comparable!
