1. Why Maintenance Matters

Even though treatments like Cryolipolysis, Ultrasound Cavitation, and Radiofrequency Skin Tightening permanently remove fat cells, new fat can still develop if lifestyle habits slip.

Maintenance ensures:
- Long-term satisfaction
- Reduced need for future touch-ups
- Healthier overall lifestyle

2. Post-Contouring Timeline Plan

First Week

- Hydrate: Drink 2–3 liters daily to flush out residual fat cells.
- Light activity: Walking, gentle stretching — avoid intense workouts for 48 hours.
- Avoid alcohol & excess salt: Prevents swelling and water retention.

First Month

- Start light strength training to maintain muscle tone.
- Maintain balanced meals — lean protein, vegetables, healthy fats.
- Apply skin-firming cream with collagen boosters daily.

First Six Months

- Increase workout intensity gradually (HIIT, Pilates, resistance training).
- Consider booster contouring sessions if recommended by your provider.
- Schedule monthly lymphatic drainage massages to improve circulation.

First Year

- Continue fitness + nutrition routine.
- Book annual review consultation at Nova Vita Esthetics to check skin elasticity and shape retention.
