15. Treatment Protocol after Liposuction
After liposuction
To improve post-operative results and to reduce the rate of subsequent revision (touch-up liposuction
treatments), the P.R. Cell, in soft tissue massage mode will improve long-term body appearance.

We recommend a doctor’s note be inserted in the client’s file.

The P.R. Cell cannot be used until swelling has reduced and the compression bandage or
girdle has come off, usually 6 to 8 weeks.
