The faint-hearted should look away, as the needle appears more suited to a horse than a person! But my need to let out a scream soon passed as Dr Lianas worked away

This treatment should not be regarded as simply having a quick injection then popping into your

speedos to show of your flat new tummy. Some commitment is needed - you will see some

limited results after three weeks when the swelling has subsided and you have maintained a

healthy life style.

Typically, you will need between three and eight sessions to achieve real results. Dr Liakas felt in

my case that four sessions would do the trick, mixed with external ultra sound. The first two

injections would be administered and in two to three weeks there would be another one.

After the area was cleaned, he marked the entry points of the fatty area to inject. This is an

extremely skilled procedure with a sharp cannula needle, which reduces the pain and number of

injections needed.

But my need to let out a scream soon passed as Dr Lianas worked away. It wasn’t pleasant but it

wasn’t too painful, just slightly uncomfortable.

If it is painful, the needle is either hitting a bone or the procedure is not being carried out

correctly. There is a possibly as the session progress and the fat dispenses that it may become

more uncomfortable.

My stomach felt very itchy after the treatment but it was soon cooled down with a session of

external ultra sound. She applied a gel to protect me from the heat of the hand-held device,

which she gently glided over the treated area. It was totally painless and in fact was quite relaxing.
