How long do the effects of body care last?
This page gives no duration figure. The clinic says duration depends on the care interval and on individual differences, and that the timing of effects is individual too, usually felt gradually from right after a session. Ask what interval the plan assumes, and which part of the change you would be expected to maintain through habits.

How does body care differ from cellulite care and body devices?
In the clinic’s comparison, body care targets body condition through care described as hands-on; cellulite care targets cellulite areas through care and equipment with area-focused management; body devices target body shape by area through equipment application, described as non-invasive area care. The clinic names BodyInMode among related treatments.

Who does the clinic say body care is suited to?
The clinic names people who want to manage body skin condition, people who want body line care alongside, people who plan to combine it with lifestyle habits, and people who understand individual differences and want to keep up regular care.

What should you ask about devices and products?
The clinic’s guide describes the programme by its steps rather than by named devices or products. Ask which devices and products are used in each of the stepwise care stages, whether they differ by area, what the composition of your session would be and how long it runs.
