Yes. The focused RF energies applied by during the Stretch Mark Reduction Treatments are extremely safe and the entire process is completely non-invasive. The process has undergone examination and assessment by several medical bodies. We use the most advanced technology available and have one of the most experienced technicians in the country providing treatments, so you are in extremely safe hands.

We are aware of people offering similar treatments to ours, sometimes at lower prices. At Sussex Laser Lipo we strive to ensure we are offering the best value for you, the customer, whilst ensuring we provide clean, comfortable and professional facilities. We have often found that providers offering very cheap prices are cutting corners in some way (e.g. shorter treatment times, only accept cash payment, are not fully qualified and insured, etc.). Sussex Laser Lipo simply do not cut corners with our clients’ safety, nor will we compromise in delivering the best results possible. Our one and only priority is you, the customer!vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Both 4D-Cryo and our unique Accelerated Laser Lipo Inch Loss Treatments deliver outstanding inch loss and body contouring capabilities, so how do you choose which would work best for you?

Laser Lipo is based on the use of Laser light energy to stimulate the inch loss process. This has the following benefits compared to Cryogenic Lipolysis :-

  • Delivers immediate inch loss results
  • Treats a larger area during a course
  • Promotes skin tightening

4D-Cryo Thermal Shock and EMS (also known as "Fat Freezing"), leverages the principle of "popsicle apoptosis" to cause the death of fat cells with a single treatment. This has the following benefits compared to Laser Lipo :-

  • No exercise required after treatment
  • Can treat directly over tattoos without the risk of fading the tattoo
  • Once in remission for more than 2 years, Cancer is no longer a contra-indication for Cryogenic Lipolysis

Therefore, the decision is primarily determined by your personal situation, goals and preferences. Ask yourself the following questions and then look below for the best fit for you :-

  1. Do you have tattoos, especially in the area you would like to have treated?
  2. Are you unable or unwilling to exercise?
  3. Have you suffered from cancer? If so, have you been in remission for more than 2 years?
  4. Are you prepared to wait 8-12 weeks for the full inch loss results to be achieved naturally (without the need to exercise)? (NOTE :- Most clients see some visible results within 4-6 weeks)

If your answers were mostly "Yes", our 4D-Cryo Fat Freezing and EMS Inch Loss Treatments would be well suited to you.

If your answers were mostly "No", our Accelerated Laser Lipo or 4D-Cavi Inch Loss Treatments are more likely to meet your needs.

If you are still unsure, please contact us to discuss your options, or book in for a free consultation.

4D-Body+ Pressotherapy treats your arms, abdomen, legs and feet.

This is entirely up to you, as long as you can remain still and lying down. Many clients read magazines (we provide a range to choose from), others take the opportunity to take a quick nap! We also offer free Wi-Fi Internet Access for customers whilst they are waiting and during the treatments, just ask for details when you arrive.

Wear comfortable clothes that covers the area of the bare skin to be treated for hygiene reasons. For lower body you can wear leggings, soft joggers or soft track pants with socks, or a long-sleeved, soft top for the upper body.

The vast majority of our clients have told us that the treatment is extremely relaxing.

There is a short period at the start of the treatment where the client feels the fatty tissue being warmed, then the cooling process begins. This can be a little uncomfortable, but has never been described as painful. The initial cooling phase of the treatment is over extremely quickly and the client is then left to relax for the remainder of the treatment. Clients spend the treatment relaxing reading magazines, watching a film, or even sleeping, waking to feel refreshed and ready to continue their day!

Most clients have told us that the treatment is extremely comfortable and pleasant, feeling like a gentle deep heating sensation beneath their skin.

Your 4D Cavi Inch Loss experience will begin with a FREE consultation. During this we will discuss the areas of your body you would like to improve, the likely length of treatment required and how those areas will be targeted by the treatments. Following the consultation and the completion of a medical questionnaire, the targeted fatty area will then be accurately measured and recorded to enable us to monitor your progress. The treatments will then commence as follows :-

Treatment gel will be applied to the treatment area. This ensures optimal transmission of the Ultrasonic energy and lubricates the treatment head as it passes over your skin.

The 4D Cavi Inch Loss treatment will then begin. During the treatment, your therapist will move the treatment head across the treated area using our unique patterns. These have been specially developed through months of in-clinic testing on real people to ensure optimal application of the dual modulation 4D Cavi ultrasonic energy.

After treatment, the area will be cleaned and dried, then the treated area will be re-measured to assess the inch-loss achieved. You can expect to see a reduction of between 1.5 and 8 inches across all areas (3.25 and 20cm’s) with a single treatment!

In order to increase the body’s ability to remove the Triglycerides (the contents released from the fat cells in the treated area), it is necessary to assist this natural process by increasing the metabolic rate through some form of cardio vascular exercise.

The 4D-Cryo implements the principles of a scientifically proven technique known as “Cryogenic Lipolysis”, or "Fat Freezing". This is combined with the stimulating effects of EMS to also deliver toning of the muscles, for accelerated toning and inch loss results.

The area is cleaned, measured and marked to ensure optimal treatment of the areas the clients wishes to target.

A protective anti-freeze membrane is placed over the treatment area.

The 4D-Cryo plates are placed over the treatment area, configured and switched on.

The area will first be warmed, which is following by a cold feeling. This is not painful, but some clients may find it mildly uncomfortable in the first few minutes of the cooling cycle.  The final warming period end a relaxing and enjoyable inch loss treatment.  All the while EMS pulese are stimulating the muscles in the treatment area to delvier immediate inch loss.

The treatment plates remains in place for 40-50 minutes, with a single treatment session covering significantly larger areas than a single traditional "Fat Freezing" placement.  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.

Immediately following treatment, the 4D-Cryo plates and protective membrane are removed, the area is cleaned and you are ready to go.

That’s it, you’re done for that area! Over the next 8-12 weeks your body will break down and remove the dead fat cells naturally, delivering up to a 26-40% reduction in the fat layer!

THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO NEEDLES OR INJECTIONS. NOTHING ENTERS THE BODY AS THIS IS AN ENTIRELY NON-INVASIVE PROCESS THAT WORKS IN HARMONY WITH YOUR NORMAL BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES.

Your Laser Lipo experience will begin with a FREE consultation. During this we will discuss the areas of your body you would like to improve, the likely length of treatment required and how those areas will be targeted by the treatments. Following the consultation and the completion of a medical questionnaire, the targeted fatty area will then be accurately measured and recorded to enable us to monitor your progress. The treatments will then commence as follows :-

The large Diode Laser paddles will be placed on the targeted fatty areas and secured with straps.

Two smaller Probe Lasers will be placed over the appropriate lymphatic glands and held in place, this is to draw the fats released during the process into the lymphatic system.

The Laser Lipo machine will then be switched on for 10 minutes, re-located and turned on for another 10 minutes. This will be repeated for the duration of your treatment to target the specific areas discussed during your consultation.

The treated area will now be re-measured to assess the inch-loss achieved. You can expect to see a reduction of between 0.5 and 3 inches across all areas (1.25 and 8cm’s) with a single treatment!

In order to increase the body’s ability to remove the Triglycerides (the contents released from the fat cells in the treated area), it is necessary to assist this natural process by increasing the metabolic rate through some form of cardio vascular exercise.

Ultra safe, high frequency (ultrasonic) sound waves are generated and transmitted into the area to be treated. This energy is in two specific modulations resulting in a dual effect (2x2 = 4D Cavi!).

The first effect is the creation of low pressure bubbles within the fat cells. This causes the fat cells to swell and relax, resulting in rupture of the cell membrane. This releases the fats and water into the lymphatic and venous system as a readily available source of fuel for the body.

The second modulation causes a positive pressure wave through the interstitial space, promoting accelerated lymphatic drainage, to accelerate the results beyond anything you may have experienced before!

This is the correct and full medical term to describe the Fat Freezing process we apply with our 4D-Cryo treatments. The more commonly referred to term of “Cryolipolysis” is an acronym (abbreviated version) of this correct medical term and has been registered as a trademark by the manufacturers of the Coolsculpting technology, Zeltiq Inc. In order to avoid confusion and ensure the correct terminology is used, we will always refer to Cryolipolysis by its full and correct name, “Cryogenic Lipolysis”.
