BBL FAQ’s
What are the side effects of Brazilian Bum Lift?
- Increased need to urinate, this is due to the extra water intake and the process of eradicating fat from the body.
- Increase in energy levels after treatment, this is due to the body burning excess fat that has now been released as energy.
- Redness on the surface of the skin in the areas that have been treated usually disappears after a few hours.
- Swelling although this is rare subsides within 24 hours.
- Mild bruising.
What aftercare is advised?
- Drink 2 – 3 litres of water every day during your course of treatments and for 1 week following your last treatment.
- The intervals between sessions recommended are at least 7 days.
- A minimum of 20 minutes of elevated heart rate exercise is required post-treatment. This is best done immediately after your session and for 3 days following this to ensure the stored energy released by the treatment process is burnt off. If you don’t like cardio, infrared sauna sessions have a similar effect on the body.
