Why we do not give a set waiting time
We found no study of LPG Endermologie in people who have used weight loss medicines, and no guidance setting a safe gap between stopping one and starting LPG. So we do not invent one. Your prescriber or GP is the right person to ask, because they know your health and how you came off the medicine. Omnia Lifestyle does not prescribe or supply weight loss medication, and decisions about starting, stopping or changing it belong with your prescriber or GP.
What we do know about stopping
- The NHS says not to stop tirzepatide or semaglutide suddenly without talking to your doctor, who may suggest reducing the dose gradually.
- An NHS trust leaflet on tirzepatide says side effects should settle within four to five weeks of stopping, and hunger may increase.
- In the STEP 1 trial extension, people regained about two thirds of their weight loss in the year after stopping semaglutide, on average.
Timing for your skin
Because weight can change after stopping, skin can too. Many people find it easier to judge how much looseness is left once their weight has been steady for a while. For surgery, the Royal College of Surgeons and BAPRAS guide says weight should be stable for 12 months before body contouring is considered on the NHS. A Styku 3D scan (£50) can record a baseline so you can see change over time.

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.
