Most people are suitable for cellulite treatment. However, for our ultrasound fat removal treatments, not everyone is a candidate. See below under ‘Check Your BMI’ for more details.
We offer treatments for:
- reshaping your body
- smoothing your cellulite
- smoothing your skin for a better appearance
Our therapists can advise if Ultrasound and Accent RF are right for you.

IMPORTANT – Check Your BMI
Unfortunately, treatment isn’t available to everyone. For ULTRASOUND patients (not cellulite patients planning on RF smoothing), please check that your BMI falls in the treatable range and should be no more than 30. Significant obesity is outside the treatment range for the styling effects of ultrasound therapy. Also some medical conditions and drugs will make some patients unsuitable to benefit from treatments.
We offer two ways you can check if your BMI is in range:
1. You can visit the BBC health website’s BMI calculator page, and enter your weight and height. The result will appear near the top of the page.
2. See the chart below and find the intersection of your weight in stones across the bottom against your height in feet/inches up the left hand side (if you prefer the metric system, check you weight in Kg across the top against your height in metres up the right side).
You must fall in either the ‘OK’ or ‘OVERWEIGHT’ areas, between the BLUE lines:
Alcohol
Please remember that you will have to avoid alcohol for 5 days after each treatment session, while you liver processes the fat that has been dissolved by the ultrasound.
Medical Problems
You will be unsuitable for UltraShape if you have any of the following:
- Liver problems
- Kidney or pancreatic problems
- Pregnancy or suspected pregnancy
- Significant obesity (BMI>30)
- Gall stones or problems handling a fatty diet
- High cholesterol or hypertriglyceridemia
- Implanted devices (e.g. pacemaker or intrauterine device, IUD)
- Cancer
- Systemic or autoimmune diseases
- Immunosuppression or are taking immunosuppressive drugs
- Scarring, hernias, or undefined skin disorders in the treatment area
- Body image disorders or too little fat (not able to pinch and hold 3cm of fat)
- Not eating a healthy diet and taking regular exercise
The last one is very important. LipoSculpt treatments will help you only if as part of a sensible lifesyle and is not a licence to stop exercising or to eat more than your recommended daily intake of calories!
