  • ABOUT THE CLATUU ALPHA TREATMENT

    The CLATUU Alpha treatment uses a vacuum to draw skin and fat into the applicator, cooling the tissue to a temperature of – 9°C where you can expect to permanently remove 20 – 30% of the localised fat in the treated area. As with all procedures, results vary from person to person.

  • WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE TREATMENT

    • Photographs of the treatment area will be taken to monitor your progress during the treatment. The photos will NOT be shared with anyone
    • The treatment area will be marked up and you'll need to remain still and in position for the entire duration of the treatment
    • A gel pad will be placed over your skin to protect any damage occurring to your skin cells and tissue
    • The applicator is then placed over the gel pad and suction will occur, causing sensations of deep pulling, tugging and pinching
    • You may experience intense cooling, numbness, stinging, tingling, aching, pain or cramping during or throughout the treatment
    • Once the treatment has finished and the applicator is removed, the therapist will massage the treatment area as this has been shown to improve the treatment outcome. This can feel odd, uncomfortable or painful
    • The treatment area will look and feel stiff. There could be transient blanching (whiteness) of the skin and intense red to purple colour, as well as bruising, swelling or tenderness, with the risk of a central blister. These changes can last up to several hours after the treatment.
  • COMMON SIDE EFFECTS

    • In the days following treatment, the area may ache and feel bruised. This aching, as well as redness, bruising, swelling, numbing, tenderness, itching, skin sensitivity and tingling can last up to two weeks
    • Bloating and swelling of the area may occur and is easily overcome by drinking 2L - 3L of water a day
    • For 1 in 20 people, there is the possibility of strong cramping, muscle spasm or a shooting pain that occurs up to 2 weeks after treatment. This can be overcome by taking pain relief in the form of paracetamol or similar
    • You may start to see changes as early as 3 weeks after the treatment, with full results achieved at 3 months
    • Multiple treatments are required, with best results achieved with 3 or more treatments
    • Eating a healthy and balanced diet is required in the weeks leading up to and after your treatment, to optimise the results
