How many sessions are required?

With each treatment session you typically see about a 20% reduction in the treated area. Whether this is enough to satisfy any individual will largely be determined by that individual’s size and fatty bulge. If the area of excess fat is relatively small and the individual is thin then only one treatment may only be needed. However in someone with a larger amount of fat, 2 or even 3 treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired result. To some extent therefore, the amount of fat reduction needed overall, will determine the number of treatments necessary. Although one accepted protocol is to repeat the treatment at about two month intervals, many patients are happy to have another session at about 6 weeks, while others repeat it at four or more months, depending on their results. A follow-up visit will be scheduled a few weeks after your procedure to assess your cosmetic improvement and consider additional sessions to achieve further fat reduction.
