Pre- and Post-Treatment Care for Jordi Shape at Opal Radiant Clinic

Jordi Shape (Radiofrequency + Vacuum Therapy + LED/Cavitation)

Overview: Jordi Shape is an advanced body contouring and cellulite reduction treatment that combines multiple technologies in one session. It uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to heat and tighten the skin, a gentle vacuum massage(suction with rolling motion) to improve circulation and lymphatic drainage, and additional modalities like LED light therapy or ultrasound cavitation to target fat cells. This powerful combo helps smooth out cellulite, firm sagging skin, reduce pockets of stubborn fat, and even improve lymphatic drainage for reduced bloating. Under Dr. Punit’s supervision, we customize Jordi Shape treatments to address women’s common concerns – from tightening post-pregnancy tummy skin to smoothing thighs or firming the buttocks. To get the best outcome, please follow these pre- and post-care instructions.

Before Your Jordi Shape Session (Pre-Treatment Care)

  • Skip Caffeine & Alcohol: For at least 24 hours before your appointment, avoid drinking alcohol or caffeine (coffee, energy drinks, cola) . These substances can dehydrate you and might constrict blood vessels, reducing the efficacy of the treatment. Arrive to your session well-hydrated by drinking water and herbal teas instead. (Bonus: being hydrated also improves the conduction of RF energy into your tissues .)

  • Meal Prep – Light and Healthy: It’s a good idea to eat a light meal a couple of hours prior to treatment so you’re not hungry during the session, but avoid heavy or high-fat meals immediately beforehand . A big, greasy meal right before your session could make you feel uncomfortable when the vacuum massage is working on your abdomen or thighs. Opt for something like fruit, yogurt, a salad, or lean protein. And as always, continue to drink water in the hours leading up to your visit.

  • No Lotions or Creams on Treatment Area: On the day of your Jordi Shape session, do not apply any body lotion, oil, perfume, or moisturizer on the areas we’ll treat . Creams on the skin can interfere with how the RF energy penetrates and how the vacuum handpiece grips your skin. Come with clean, dry skin. (If you applied something in the morning, just let us know – we can cleanse the area before starting.)

  • Avoid Active Sun Exposure: Protect the areas to be treated from sun exposure for a week or two before your session. In particular, do not get a fresh tan or sunburn on those areas . Tanned or sunburned skin can be more sensitive to heat; RF treatment on sun-damaged skin could risk uneven pigmentation or burns. If you’ve been in the sun, use SPF 30+ and notify us – we may delay treatment on recently sunburnt skin until it heals.

  • Dress Comfortably: Wear or bring comfortable, loose clothing to your appointment. You’ll be undressing the areas we’re treating (for example, your thighs, buttocks, abdomen, arms), so choose easy-on/off garments. After the session, your skin might be pink and warm, so you won’t want super tight jeans or waistbands pressing on it. Soft yoga pants, a loose dress, or sweats are great choices. We also suggest removing any jewelry on or near the treatment area (for instance, belly piercings) before the session starts, as we’ll be using a radiofrequency device.

After Your Jordi Shape Session (Post-Treatment Care)

  • Hydrate to Flush Out: Increase your water intake for the next day or two. We recommend drinking at least 2–3 liters of water in the 48 hours after your session to help your body flush out the released fat and toxins . The combination of RF and cavitation can cause fat cell contents to be metabolized, and vacuum massage moves fluids into your lymphatic system – so your body needs water to efficiently eliminate these byproducts. Keep a water bottle with you and sip frequently.

  • Keep Lymphatic System Moving: Light physical activity is your friend after a body contouring treatment. Later in the day (or the next day), do some gentle exercise such as a brisk walk, light cycling, or even dancing around your living room – anything to get your circulation going without exhausting yourself . This helps stimulate lymphatic drainage, aiding the removal of the waste products and excess fluids that were mobilized during your session. Many clients find that a 20-30 minute walk post-treatment makes them feel less bloated as the lymphatic flush happens . Tip: Continue to stay moderately active on days between your sessions for even better results.

  • Avoid Heat & Sweat for 24–48 Hours: Your skin may be slightly sensitive from the radiofrequency heating. For at least a day (or until any skin redness has resolved), avoid additional heat stress on the treated areas . This means no hot tubs, saunas, or super-hot showers for 1–2 days. Also avoid intense workouts that make you sweat heavily or could cause friction on the treated skin (like vigorous running or high-intensity interval training) during that initial period . Excessive heat or sweating might irritate your already warm skin and increase risk of discomfort or rash. After 48 hours, you can resume these activities unless instructed otherwise. The good news: there’s no true downtime – you can return to your routine and even exercise the same day if you feel fine, just keep it moderate . Listen to your body: if an activity doesn’t feel good (skin too tender for tight workout clothes or high heat), give yourself a bit more rest.

  • Post-Session Skin Care: It’s normal for the skin in treated areas to appear pink or slightly red and feel warm to the touch for a few hours after Jordi Shape . You might also notice mild swelling or a few small bruises, especially in areas where vigorous vacuum suction was used (like the thighs or love handles) . Don’t be alarmed – this is expected and temporary. Redness and warmth usually fade within a few hours (sometimes up to a day for sensitive skin). Bruises, if any, are generally minor and resolve over a week or so. To soothe the skin: after your session, we may apply a calming gel. At home, you can put on a fragrance-free aloe vera gel or a cool, damp cloth if the area feels hot. If your skin is dry, keep it moisturized starting the next day – gentle hydrating lotion or aloe vera can help the skin recover its barrier after the treatment (avoid harsh actives like retinol or AHAs on treated areas for 2–3 days). If any suction marks or bruises appear, you can treat them like any bruise – arnica gel or vitamin K cream may help them fade faster (optional). We will give you specific skincare product recommendations if needed.

  • Massage for Enhanced Drainage: Over the next few days, performing light self-massage on the treated areas can enhance your results. Using gentle pressure with your hands, massage the area in upward, circular motions for 5–10 minutes, 2–3 times a day . This mimics lymphatic drainage massage – helping your body flush excess fluid and reducing any uneven texture. Focus on massaging toward lymph node areas (for instance, upward from the thighs toward the groin, or from the arms toward the armpits). The goal is to encourage fluid movement. Many women find this also helps further soften the appearance of cellulite. (Ensure your skin is moisturized or use a bit of body oil while massaging to avoid pulling the skin.)

  • Healthy Habits = Better Results: Remember that Jordi Shape is boosting your body contouring efforts, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle will greatly amplify and prolong your results. Dr. Punit advises sticking to a balanced diet rich in lean protein, vegetables, and fiber – this supports collagen production and tissue repair. Try to avoid excessive salty or sugary foods which can cause water retention and fat accumulation. Keep up a regular exercise routine (even just consistent walking and some strength training) to improve circulation and muscle tone . The treatment will give you a jump-start, but your day-to-day habits will help reveal those smoother, tighter contours faster and help them last longer.

Treatment Course & Expected Results

To truly see the benefits of Jordi Shape, a series of treatments is needed – one session alone will yield only temporary improvements. Here’s what to expect in terms of sessions and timeline:

  • Recommended Number of Sessions: Most clients require a series of 4–8 sessions of Jordi Shape for optimal results in body contouring and cellulite reduction. Sessions are typically scheduled once per week or sometimes twice weekly, depending on your custom plan. We will assess your starting point and goals; for moderate cellulite and skin laxity, around 6 sessions is a common protocol. More severe concerns (for example, very pronounced cellulite or multiple areas being treated) might benefit from up to 8–10 sessions. Dr. Punit will tailor the plan to your needs. Remember, each session builds on the last – so consistency is key to achieving the desired outcome .

  • When You’ll See Results: Patience is important – the changes with RF and vacuum therapies are gradual but rewarding. Many women notice their skin feels smoother or tighter within a few weeks (after 2–3 sessions), but visible changes in contour (like reduced circumference or cellulite dimpling) usually become more apparent toward the end of the treatment series. Typically, the most significant improvements are seen about 6–8 weeks after your final session, once your body has had time to produce new collagen and flush out broken-down fat . For example, if you complete 6 sessions over 6 weeks, expect to see peak results about 1½ to 2 months after the last treatment. This timeline may vary: some individuals respond faster, and some a bit slower, depending on factors like age, metabolism, and lifestyle. We will take progress photos and measurements to help track the subtle changes from session to session.

  • Maintaining Your Results: After you’ve achieved the desired result, you can enjoy the benefits – smoother skin, less noticeable cellulite, and a firmer shape – for quite a while. However, the aging process and lifestyle factors (diet, activity level, weight fluctuations) will continue to affect your body. We generally recommend a maintenance Jordi Shape session every 2–3 months to keep stimulating collagen and circulation . Some clients do a single maintenance session quarterly, while others might do a small package of 2–3 sessions twice a year. We’ll create a maintenance schedule that fits your needs. Continuing with healthy habits (exercise, diet, hydration) is crucial for long-lasting results. Think of Jordi Shape as part of your ongoing wellness and beauty routine – with Dr. Punit’s guidance, we’ll help you preserve your results as long as possible.

Red Flags – When to Contact the Clinic

Jordi Shape is designed to be a gentle, non-surgical procedure with minimal risk. It’s normal to have some redness, mild soreness, or minor bruising as described above – these should all be temporary. However, it’s important to be aware of uncommon reactions. Please reach out to Dr. Punit’s team if you experience any of the following:

  • Severe Pain: The treatment itself is usually comfortable (many say it feels like a deep tissue warm massage) and post-treatment you might feel a bit tender or sore in areas like you’d feel after a massage. If you have intense pain during or after the treatment that does not subside, that’s not normal and we want to know. For instance, if a treated area is extremely painful to touch or you feel sharp, burning pain hours later, contact us. This could indicate an atypical reaction or tissue injury and needs assessment.

  • Skin Burns or Blistering: RF energy heats the tissue, but it is carefully controlled to avoid burns. If you notice any blister forming on the treated skin or a patch of skin that looks charred or like a burn, stop applying anything to it and call us immediately. While rare, a superficial burn could occur if the RF settings react with your skin in an unexpected way. We will provide instructions for care and may need to see you to treat the area. (A minor redness that looks like a sunburn is normal – we are concerned about actual blistering or skin peeling.)

  • Excessive or Spreading Redness: It’s normal for the treated zone to be reddish right after the session, but this should concentrate in the area we worked on and calm down over hours. If the redness spreads beyond the treatment area, gets worse instead of better over time, or is accompanied by swelling and warmth, it could indicate an unusual inflammatory response or infection. Please inform us if the redness is worsening the next day or covering a much larger area than treated.

  • Allergic Reaction (Rash or Hives): All the components of Jordi Shape (RF, vacuum, LED) are mechanical/energy-based, but we do use contact gels or oils during treatment. It’s very uncommon, but if you happen to be allergic to a gel or something used, you might develop a rash, hives (itchy bumps), or persistent itching on the treated area. If you see a rash developing post-treatment, let us know so we can advise on appropriate antihistamines or creams and avoid that product next time.

  • Unusual Lumps or Nodules: The vacuum and RF should not typically cause any lumps – in fact, they usually improve lumps by smoothing out tissues. However, if you notice any firm knots under the skin or a lumpy area that wasn’t there before, bring it to our attention. This could be a rare fibrosis or a swollen lymph node. We will evaluate and guide you on massage or other steps to resolve it.

  • Systemic Symptoms: Treatments like these generally don’t cause whole-body symptoms. If you experience something like fever, nausea, dizziness, or anything out of the ordinary after treatment, please contact us. It’s likely unrelated (coincidental illness), but we would like to be aware and ensure everything is okay.

  • Any Other Concerns: Simply put, if anything worries you after your session – even if it’s not on this list – reach out to us for reassurance. You can call or email the clinic, and we’ll advise if what you’re experiencing is normal or if we’d like you to come in for a check. Your comfort and safety are our top priorities .
