LypossageTM FAQs
Losing inches and cellulite is as easy & enjoyable as getting a massage.
Where did all my cellulite, lumps and bulges come from?
The fatty tissue of our bodies acts as its “toxic waste disposal site,” where substances that it cannot metabolize are dumped. This congested tissue has poor circulation (you’ll note that cellulite prone areas are cool to the touch). Lymphatic flow may also be restricted by tight undergarments and pantyhose or even your favorite pair of tight jeans.
Who created the Lypossage technique?
The treatment is a specific concentrated combination of existing therapeutic massage techniques; including deep lymphatic drainage and deep release. It was created by Charles W. Wiltsie III, LMT, an internationally recognized massage therapy educator and practitioner. Mr. Wiltsie conducted a yearlong study of 100 female subjects that documented the effectiveness of the technique, which was published in Massage and Bodywork Magazine in 1999. In the study, notable results included an average inch loss per thigh of almost 1 1/2 inches, and an average cumulative inch loss of over 7 inches through the stomach, hips and thighs.
How does Lypossage work ?
Lypossage cleanses (detoxifies) the body of stagnant, stalled lymphatic fluid (Lymphoedema) that can create the lumps and bulges we know as figure imbalance. The deeper Lypossage strokes break up adhesions under the skin that can contribute to the dimpled, uneven appearance of cellulite. Lypossage also tones the muscles, lifting and firming sagging tissue.
What parts of the body respond to Lypossage?
Zone-1 Lypossage is performed on the lower body, including the buttocks, hips, thighs and lower abdomen.
Zone-2 Lypossage is for the upper body and arms;
Zone 3 is for the face, neck and head.
Lypossage has the most dramatic effects on areas prone to sagging, such as the lower face and neck, as well as the buttocks and upper thighs.
Why should I choose Lypossage over machines?
While both approaches deliver results, Lypossage results are more profound because deeper detoxifying therapeutic massage techniques are employed. Lypossage can only be performed by a licensed massage therapist that is certified in the appropriate Lypossage treatment zones. There are no such restrictions, minimum standards or regulations on the technicians operating body contouring machines.
Is it safe?
Lypossage is a noninvasive, natural health treatment that helps to cleanse the body of toxins and retained fluids. Most clients find that Lypossage enhances their energy and mental clarity. While there are some contraindications for specific medical conditions, Lypossage can be safely experienced by most healthy individuals. It is much safer than surgical procedures such as liposuction. However, for those who opt for a more dramatic surgical results, Lypossage can be very beneficial before and after the liposuction procedure.
Who can perform my Lypossage treatments?
Lypossage can only be performed by a licensed massage therapist that is certified in the appropriate Lypossage treatment zones. Lypossage practitioners are specially trained massage and body professionals who have learned this extraordinary hands-on technique and are certified to practice under the Lypossage name.
How are my treatments scheduled?
Treatments last about 30 minutes and are performed in a series of 18 sessions over the course of six weeks. It’s important to note that for most clients, it takes 8 - 10 sessions before the results of the initial treatments become noticeable. After that, progress can often be quite dramatic.
What are some typical results, and how will I know what mine are?
While results vary, cumulative dimensions lost over five key measurement points average 6.75 inches in the original study. It is not uncommon to find cumulative inch loss of up to 11 inches. One client in the study lost almost 3 inches in her waist measurement alone. Most women find that they will drop one to two dress sizes without a reduction in their weight.
You’ll be weighed and measured before you begin your program and at key intervals to enable you to track your progress.
Is there a special diet or exercise program?
Though the individuals in the Lypossage study were restricted from initiating any new diet or exercise program during the course of their treatments, we find that most clients become so inspired by their Lypossage results that they readily adopt lifestyle changes that help them progress even more rapidly. A diet rich in whole, organic foods and regular body movement will contribute to a terrific outcome. Avoiding foods containing refined sugar, preservatives, hormones, caffeine and salt will keep your newly detoxified body in the best shape possible. Drinking large amounts of water is key to keeping the body cleansed.
What do I need to do to maintain my results?
Maintenance programs will be customized to the needs of each individual client. Typically, a program of monthly or bimonthly maintenance treatments will help you retain your results.
