Frequently asked

How many LPG sessions do you need after major weight loss?

The short answer

Most people notice change after 6 to 8 LPG Endermologie sessions, usually weekly, then monthly maintenance. After major weight loss, moderate looseness often needs a longer course, and hanging skin needs a surgical opinion rather than more sessions. At Omnia Lifestyle in Chiswick W4, your therapist gives an honest estimate at a £99 Discovery Session.

What affects how many sessions you need

  • How loose the skin is. Mild softness responds best. Moderate looseness usually needs a longer course.
  • How many areas you treat. Stomach, arms and thighs together take longer per session.
  • Whether your weight is stable. Skin keeps changing while weight is still falling. See LPG while still losing weight.
  • Age, sun damage and smoking, which all affect how skin responds.

Results vary and no treatment is permanent. Evidence for LPG is mixed. In LPG Systems' BeScored study from 2024, 92% of participants reported firmer skin, which is manufacturer data. If your weight loss came with a weight loss medicine, note that we found no study of LPG in that group. Omnia Lifestyle does not prescribe or supply weight loss medication, and decisions about starting, stopping or changing it belong with your prescriber or GP.

When more sessions will not help

If skin hangs in a fold, rubs or causes rashes, more sessions will not remove it. Only surgery removes skin, and the Royal College of Surgeons and BAPRAS guide says weight should be stable for 12 months before body contouring is considered on the NHS. See loose skin after weight loss for how we assess this, Mounjaro face for the face, and our hub on life after weight loss medication for skin, muscle and body together.

Who this is not for

LPG is not used on the abdomen in pregnancy. It is not suitable with active cancer, an infection, phlebitis or a blood clot, open wounds or inflamed skin. If you have a circulatory or blood disorder, recent surgery, a pacemaker or an implanted device, ask your doctor or surgeon first. Hanging skin needs a surgical opinion. See your GP about any unexplained swelling, pain or skin change.
