It's a question we hear at almost every consultation: fine, but how long does it last? An honest question deserves an honest answer, and it depends on what is being treated, how you live and whether you maintain the result. Here is how it works in practice.
Two kinds of effect from INDIBA treatments
The first effect is immediate: the heat tightens existing collagen fibres and boosts circulation, so the skin looks fresher and firmer right after the treatment. This lasts a few days, which is why a single treatment makes a great “boost” before a big event.
The second effect is structural: over a series of treatments the skin builds new collagen. This is the real result. It builds over 2 to 3 months and lasts for months after the series ends, because the new collagen has literally become part of your skin.
How long do results last by area?
- Face, neck, under-eye area: after a series of 6 to 10 treatments the result typically lasts 6 to 12 months
- Body, cellulite and fat deposits: after a series of 10 to 15 treatments the result lasts as long as your diet and weight stay stable
- Recovery after childbirth or injury: the tissue repair achieved is permanent
What shortens and what extends the results?
Unprotected sun, smoking, big weight swings and chronic lack of sleep shorten it, because they all speed up the breakdown of collagen. SPF, a stable weight and maintenance treatments extend it: for most clients, one treatment a month is enough to keep the result from fading.
Why do results fade at all?
Because ageing doesn't stop. INDIBA gives you back the collagen you have lost, but natural production keeps dropping, by about 1 percent a year. Maintenance treatments make up for that, so in the long run your skin stays ahead of its “calendar” age.
