BODY CONTOURING TECHNOLOGY
A non-invasive body-contouring technology that combines microwave energy with a flow of cooled air to work on the deeper tissue while protecting the skin — used to firm, smooth and reshape areas of the body. Dr. Karatzias will advise whether it suits you and which areas to treat at consultation.
THE PROMISE
LYSIWAVE is a non-invasive body-contouring technology developed by Biotec Italia. It works by delivering microwave energy into the tissue while, at the same time, a stream of cooled, oxygen-enriched air keeps the surface of the skin protected and comfortable. The energy reaches the deeper layers, where it acts on subcutaneous fat and on the connective tissue, while gently warming the dermis.
Because the warming encourages the skin’s own collagen, the aim of a course of treatment is twofold: to work on stubborn, localised areas and to help firm and tone the overlying skin. It is a comfortable, walk-in treatment rather than a surgical procedure, and at your consultation Dr. Karatzias will explain how it is used and whether it is a suitable option for you.

LYSIWAVE — non-invasive, with minimal downtime
A LYSIWAVE session is non-invasive — there are no incisions and no anaesthesia is required. The handpiece is moved over the area being treated, delivering microwave energy to the deeper tissue while a continuous flow of cooled air keeps the skin surface comfortable; many people describe the sensation simply as a pleasant warmth. The number and spacing of sessions depends on the area and on your individual response, and a personalised plan is agreed with you before you begin.
LYSIWAVE is designed for the body rather than a single fixed treatment. Depending on the area and your goals, this type of microwave body-contouring technology is generally used to help with:
As a non-invasive treatment, LYSIWAVE is generally associated with little to no downtime, and most people return to their usual day straight afterwards. It is normal to notice some warmth or mild redness in the treated area for a short time, which settles on its own. Drinking plenty of water and staying active can support the results between sessions. We will give you simple, practical aftercare guidance tailored to the area treated.
LYSIWAVE is best suited to firming and reshaping specific areas rather than to weight loss, and it works most effectively as part of a healthy, stable lifestyle. As with any technology, it is not right for everyone, and some concerns are better addressed in other ways. At your consultation Dr. Karatzias will assess the area you are concerned about, explain what is realistic, and recommend the most appropriate approach — including whether another treatment may suit you better.

How many sessions will I need?
Treatments like this are usually done as a short course rather than a single visit, with sessions spaced out over a few weeks. The exact number depends on the area being treated and how your skin responds, so a personalised plan is agreed with you before you begin. Dr. Karatzias will set out what to expect at your consultation.
Is there any downtime?
Very little, if any. Because nothing is cut or injected, most people return to their usual day straight afterwards. It is normal to notice some warmth or mild redness in the treated area for a short time, which settles on its own.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Changes from this type of treatment are gradual rather than instant, and typically build over the course of your sessions as the skin responds. Results are best maintained with a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle, and occasional top-up sessions can help keep them looking their best over time.
Does it hurt?
It is generally a comfortable treatment. The cooled air over the skin keeps the surface comfortable while the energy works in the deeper tissue, and many people describe the sensation simply as a pleasant warmth. No anaesthesia is needed.
Who is LYSIWAVE best for?
It tends to suit people who are close to their target weight and want to firm, smooth or refine a specific area rather than lose weight overall. It is not a substitute for significant weight loss, and some concerns are better addressed in other ways — at your consultation Dr. Karatzias will tell you honestly whether it is the right choice for you.
Is it an alternative to surgery?
It is a non-surgical option for firming and reshaping, so it can be a good choice if you prefer to avoid an operation or are not ready for one. It works in a different way from surgery such as liposuction or a body lift, and the results are more subtle. If your goal would be better met surgically, Dr. Karatzias will explain that openly so you can decide.
