Twelve or eighteen, two or three times a week, as the maker describes, and up to twenty-four where there is significant inflammation, excessive sagging or excess weight. The maker describes a single session as less significant and lasting, and most of its series used twelve sessions of 40 to 60 minutes, with the measurements taken at the end of the course. In our practice the number is set at the free consultation with Dr Marie Duggan, GMC 7488383, at Endospheres Clinic, 8 Exhibition Road, London, SW7 2HF, and reviewed as the course runs.
Why it is a course
A massage moves tissue and fluid for a time; most of the maker's series measured their change at the end of twelve sessions given two or three times a week, not after one. The maker asks for at least 48 hours between sessions. A session runs from about 45 minutes to an hour and a half depending on the areas, so a course of twelve or eighteen takes 1.5 to 4.5 hours a week for four to nine weeks.
After the course
The maker says results can last up to six months with a healthy lifestyle and recommends maintenance of two sessions a month for three or four months and then one a month. For the face it describes two a month after the intensive cycle. In the maker's own comparison, adding a diet to the course more than doubled the fall in circumference. The how long it lasts page sets out the duration, the results page the figures, and the full guide the rest. The price is in writing at a free consultation, with a price match on any comparable written quote.
