BODY SLIM START — comprehensive programme in Tallinn

Each of the three treatments handles its own part of the job. Lipolytics are injections of a product into an area with localised fat deposits: it helps break down fat cells, and the body then clears their contents gradually through the lymph. Cavitation is low-frequency ultrasound: through a contact gel it reaches the layer beneath the skin and also acts on fat cells. Lymphatic drainage supports the outflow of fluid, helping to reduce swelling and a feeling of heaviness.

The programme is chosen for localised fat deposits that do not shift with diet and exercise — on the abdomen, flanks or thighs — and for puffiness and uneven skin texture. It is worth being clear about its limits: this is work on specific areas, not a way to lose weight, and if you gain weight the treated areas change along with the rest of the body. The programme includes injections, so their contraindications apply to it too.

It starts with an assessment: the specialist looks at the areas, asks about your health and checks for contraindications — if in doubt, they will ask you to consult a doctor first. Which areas to treat and how to spread the programme’s treatments across visits is agreed with you in advance. Cavitation is painless: you feel warmth and a light vibration, and there may be a characteristic high-pitched sound in your ears — that is the ultrasound, not a fault in the device. The lipolytic injections feel like brief pricks.

The contents released from the cells leave through the lymph, so drink plenty of water before and after your visits — the result depends on this as much as on the treatments themselves. After the injections the area may be red, swollen, tender or bruised; avoid touching the treated areas unnecessarily. The specialist will tell you after the assessment how many visits you need and how far apart.
