At Nova Vita Esthetics Tampa, we’ve helped hundreds of clients maintain their post-contouring results by combining smart nutrition, consistent activity, and targeted skincare. This guide gives you everything you need to protect your investment.

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.
