Deciding
Candidacy, what a course actually costs, what happens when you stop, what to ask, what a consultation should cover, and the case for doing nothing.
Who is a poor candidate for non-surgical body treatment
Every treatment page on this site carries a candidacy block. This is all of them gathered in one place, because the question of whether you are a good fit is the one the sales process is least equipped to ask.
What a course of treatment really costs and how to work it out
Session prices are not course prices, and course prices are not annual prices. A five minute calculation, done before the consultation rather than during it, changes what most people decide.
What happens when you stop a non-surgical body treatment
Some effects are banked and some are rented. Knowing which you are buying changes the price, the decision and how you should feel about the maintenance conversation at the end of a course.
The questions to ask before you pay for a course
Fifteen questions, in order, with what an evasive answer to each one tells you. Take this to the consultation. It is the most useful page on this site to have open on a phone.
Doing nothing is a legitimate option and what it looks like
The option that appears on no price list, in no consultation and in no advertisement, and which is the right answer for a substantial number of the people reading this.
What a consultation for a body treatment should cover
A consultation and a sales appointment can look identical from the outside. Here is what distinguishes them, in the order things should happen, so you can tell which one you are in.
Why modern liposuction techniques are transforming aesthetic medicine
The comparison the non-surgical market avoids making. How surgical fat removal has changed, why those changes matter to somebody weighing a device course, and what the two categories actually are relative to each other.
This article contains no commercial links of any kind. No affiliate links, no sponsored placements, and no links to any clinic, practitioner, device manufacturer, brand or retailer. Nobody paid for it, nobody previewed it and nobody outside the editorial team saw it before publication.
This publication does not name, rank, rate or review any clinic or practitioner, because it has assessed none of them. Our funding is set out in full on the about page and on the provider listings page, including what we refuse to sell at any price.
Nothing here is medical advice. Speak to a qualified clinician about your own circumstances.
When the rules change, we will tell you
One email when a regulatory position shifts in a way that alters what you should check, when a published advertising ruling changes what this sector may claim, and when a new article goes up. No treatment offers, no discounts and no clinic suggestions, because we do not make any.
